Rugby & Drinks on the balcony

YES!! Super Rugby season is back! This afternoon both of our teams, the Sunwolves (Japan) and the Crusaders (NZ, CHCH) were playing. The Sunwolves played quite badly against the Hurricanes (NZ) in Tokyo. We didn't expect to win but Oliver had to walk away halfway through the game as the final score was 83-17 :( But at least we got some tries against the NZ team.

Right after that game, there was a Crusaders vs Brumbies game. Matthew got back from work in time to have couple of beer with James while watching the game. It was a very good game. 17-13 to the Crusaders! Yeah!

To spend the rest of the evening, I had more friends over to have some drinks and nibbles. It has been so incredibly windy that we hardly used our balcony for the last 3 months. Crazy!! 

It was definitely nice to sit outside and socialise. 

The kids were happily watching some movies and playing together. 

Suddenly we heard lots of noise - some fireworks started right in front of us!! We had a great view of it. It lasted over 10min. 

Most of the boys had to fly the next morning so people went home reasonably early. I really hope the wind will die down soon so we can do this more often.
