Superleague Grand Final 2011

Oh. My. God.


They actually did it!! The Leeds Rhinos, who have had by their own admission a pretty poor season won the Grand Final. After being beat in the Challenge cup final at Wembley the Rhinos have pulled their socks up and played some of the best rugby league I've seen in a long time.


They finished 5th after the weekly rounds and fought their way through the playoffs to the final after everybody had written them off.  The game itself was a cracker.  I'm not gonna reflect on it too much as you're either into rugby and saw it, in which case you know.  If you're not into rugby and didn't see it then you tube it or watch the highlights on www.superleage.co.uk A-maze-ing!!!

Ok now I've got that out of the way, last week or maybe even the week before we went berry picking at Temple Newsam...

 I went to the dentist :-( and need to go back in a couple of weeks for two fillings in my wisdom teeth.  I hate the dentist and could cry every time I have to go so am not looking forward to it.

I've spent quite a bit of time playing the new F1 2011 on PS3 and have to say it's amazing, I've started out with Force India and am hoping to increase my reputation by meeting their objective so I can sign for a more competitive team.  Doing a half distance race (33ish laps) working my way into 6th position only to spin off on the penultimate lap for pushing my tyres too hard is disappointing but also strangely satisfying.  I finished around 11th.

Made some lamb meatballs, mmmmm

Went to Knightcon 2011 and will post more pics from this as soon as I upload them.

Caught up and finished season 4 of True Blood. (stickers from Get Glue on iOS)

I also finished retouching the images from my shoot with Twice Nightly in the studio...

We learnt our 3 times table.....

Oh and this is the shirt to commemorate the Rhinos winning...

I really like it but it's a tad expensive at £50 and I'm skint right now.

I'm going now but will sign of with another picture (taken on my phone from the tv) of captain Kevin Sinfield lifting the trophy after making a great speech.

“To all those people that wrote this team off, to all the people that criticised this team, tonight’s for you.”
