Leaving soon

The shades of autumn are setting in quite quickly now but at least we saw some more consistent sunshine today. This is rather an emergency blip as I got rather carried away following a number of sporting events this afternoon. The Davis Cup doubles was a proper rollercoaster of match and whilst I'm no big fan of Andy Murray it was great that he and his brother prevailed in the end. I was disappointed at Surrey falling short in the 50 over final against Gloucestershire - they've had an amazing season and this would have been the perfect ending. Biggest shock of the day however must have come in Brighton where Japan beat South Africa in the Rugby World Cup - I know a lot of people who'll be crying over their braais tonight!
