There's a little black cloud

And it's sitting on my shoulder. Husband just told me to stop sighing; I didn't even know I was.

Wales is out of the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Our fate was decided this afternoon when we lost to Fiji, 38-34.

To be honest, we probably don't deserve to go through: the boys have had their moments but there've been far too many mistakes.
To cheer me up, here's a photo of Doug Howlett, who scored his sixth try of the World Cup this morning in New Zealand's match against poor little Romania. I would be no good as a referee: if the underdogs were doing really badly I'd be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt in my decision-making if I could.
But Doug Howlett is very lovely and, as Wales are out, it had better be the All Blacks who lift the trophy. They're exciting to watch and deserve to win.
