It's been an unusual weekend. Yesterday especially was topsy turvy. After cycling 1:45 (just under 50km) I went to a lunch which turned into a feast:
Chops, sosaties, boerewors, salads (avo/beetroot/sweet potatoes), followed by a desert that included ice cream and custard, with chocolate cake and cappuccino coffee a little later. Wine and sodas fuelled already restless braincell activity. Meanwhile there was a heated debate at the table that started with a chance comment on 9/11 and escalated into Fundamentalistic Ideology. The debators included a director at Rand Merchant Bank, a preacher, and me!
Then we watched the rugby; what a storming game. Brian Lima was funny. He concussed himself in a brutal dive he'd premeditated. Looked like he only managed to hurt himself. I think he was on the field for less than 5 minues.
After the rugby I got roped into a dinner meal/homecell thing. We had another major debate based on an issue I raised: faith + works as opposed to faith only. Fortunately there was quite a loot of feel-good banter to balance out the heavy-serious stuff.
The dinner comprised roast lamb with mint sauce, salads, strawberry and cream dessert along with capucinnos once more.
Interesting: the rugby world cup has an audience of 75 million.
The cricket world cup: 87 million.
The third most popular/watched sporting event in the world is cycling (Tour de France).
2nd is the Olympics with hundreds of millions of viewers, and 1 in 9 of Earth's population watch Soccer (around 700 million).
