Muzza Mania

So Muzza’s through to the Aussie Open final. Very much enjoyed the match and glad he’s doing well, but would it be unpatriotic of me to say that I kind of hoped the Fed would win? I’m normally so patriotic, what’s the matter with me? But Fed could claim the prize for best human (not just tennis player) ever – super sportsman, speaks numerous languages, funny and gracious in his interviews, both in victory and defeat, plus has his own Nike range. Murray is just a bit moody sometimes but would still love to see him beat Novak!

In other news, today I have taken the day off on the 4th Feb to watch the Superbowl with my Aussie partner in crime. Kick off will be 10.30am Sydney time, so we can have some pancakes for brekkie and get involved. Ooh Beyonce’s performing too, what a bonus – I don’t care if she lipped synched, she can do no wrong in my eyes! #slightlyobsessedfan

Our chosen venue – the casino! (Normally we’re only there around breakfast time because we haven’t gone home so this will make a bit of a change).

My knowledge of American sport is poor – this I acknowledge, so it has been one of my new year’s resolutions to sort that out. Better do a bit of swotting up before the game (I have learnt from an American that it’s the ‘game’ and not the ‘match’ so trying to use the lingo.)

So far I have learnt that the Ravens are from Baltimore and the 49ers are from San Francisco. I have heard of the 49ers (probably in a film or something) so will probably be rooting for them. I have also learnt that their colors (American spelling for a bit of ambience) are red and white – perfect for an English girl, I can sort out a suitable outfit no problem.

Perhaps we shall have to ask some totally cute American guys to explain the rules to us… Considering the American lads we have met to date, I’m fairly sure they will be only too happy to help.

Anyway, bedtime for me now. Australia day long weekend is bringing a rodeo in Taralga. Hello cowboy! Don’t ask…
