Spring is in the air…

So it’s been a while has it not. Antipodean hibernation? No excuse lady – sport knows no seasonal limit. But now Australian spring is here and as Gold Coast Blonde would say “Boys’ minds turn to romance and footy finals…”

Well the latter is a certainty at least. Swannies are still in with a shot, Cowboys are disappointed by another shocking refereeing bungle and apparently I should be supporting Souths due to the abundance of British Burgess brothers showing the Aussies how it’s done.

Let’s hope for some classic grand final battles in a couple of weeks, and let’s leave the controversy, be it drugs, reffing or betting, in the past.

So what else has happened while I’ve been away… England won the Ashes, Murray won Wimbledon, Froome won Le Tour and Rose won the US Open.

Uh huh – you guessed it, my recent silence is due to a general dumbfoundeness at current British sporting success. Oh and the feeling I’d probably curse the good run if I said anything…
