Woad. Surely everybody has heard of woad?

The Bs had a marvellous weekend, on Saturday winning a meat tray at Toongabbie RSL* and on Sunday enjoying the terrific Taronga Zoo.

Sadly, I missed out on all of this as I was up at Avoca with Team Nerd pretending to be, variously, a woad-covered barbarian, a space alien and Attila the Hun.

I think we all know who had the most fun.

*Pom readers - this is about as Australian as it gets. It helps them get over the angst of their feeble Olympic medal tally.
