Well, another defeat for the second Test, 48-18. Whilst New Zealand were fucking good, we made them look fucking great.

This weekend is the last Test before the tour is complete, and NZ have pulled a few players out through injury so there's a freshness about them. On the other hand the Lions are buggered.

Beyond the rugby (if such a time and place can be imagined) is a visit to Ystradfellte to see the falls. I can't wait to get some pictures and eat in the open air next to a beautiful waterfall! God knows, I really need some time away from this monastery. The week after I'll be heading further afield to visit Sesiwn Fawr at Dolgellau where Super Furry Animals are playing. I'll be alighting at Glantwymyn and staying at Gorwel Deg farmhouse under the tutelage of the Butler. God refresh me!
