The year chugs on and we are into what the weathermen call "flamming June" it was hot when we went to the Festival on Friday.

As for other things the Northern Teams tours to the South have gone as badly as expected. England, Wales and Ireland will return from their trips with 2-0 series defeats and we have a pic of Digby Ioane the first Wallaby Samoan. Yesterday's defeat 31-0 to Australia was pretty awful until you remember the strengh of the two teams. Still we know if we don't beat the Aussies next time out it is Sth Africa in Marseille. Speaking of which our tickets have arrived and tomorrow we buy the train tickets.

Yesterday saw Ryan Giggs' last game for Wales, I once played Rugby with his Grand dad Frank Wilson you know, under an assumed name of course given Rugby Union's treatment of former league players in the 1980's.

Wales played well to draw 0-0 with Czech Republic but given the defeats to Slovakia and Ireland we won't be going anywhere next summer. There was a wonderful banner in the crowd which forms the label for this post.

Lastly Leila's play starts at the Clerkenwell Theatre on8th June we all have high hopes.

Till the next time.
