Living in England is often quite fun. This afternoon we went to a pub and watched the England-Scotland match of this year's Six Nations rugby tournament. It was a real classic for England supporters as it marked the return of their legendary fly half, Johnny Wilkinson. His last game playing for England was over three years ago, when he kicked a drop goal in the final minute of overtime to make his team the world champions. Things like that have a way of endearing you to fans. He has battled serious injuries since then, but tonight he returned with style, leading his team to a 42-20 win and scoring this amazing try while falling out of bounds:
But the best part of the afternoon wasn't watching a great rugby game for the first time in a while, it was spending a night out with my wife & son. We enjoyed a hearty British meal, complete with treacle sponge with custard, and walked around our fair city for a while. I can't imagine a better way to spend my time.

What an absolutely DELIGHTFUL way to spend the day. Almost colonial in style and content. Top hole old chap!
