How are you? Good. Very good. Can I just say, just before we start...
We've started.
Yeah, fair call, fair call. I always get really worried when Steve says things and I feel like they just, even if he says them like two years ago, you just feel like they're slowly going to come true no matter how much.
Yeah.
non-control he has over the situation. I was walking down the street this morning in Hamilton, my second home, and I was just going, man, I love it here. I just have the best time. I stay in the same place. I go to the same cafes. I eat virtually the same food. And I know so many people in Hamilton now. And I went home after last trip and I said to my husband, we could go to Hamilton for a
Is this your way of telling us that you're moving?
No, I'm not. I love Christchurch, but I tell you what, I wouldn't discount it.
It's a matter of time. It's just a matter of time.
It's great. I love the place. Anyway, so it's always lovely to be here. How are you two?
Good. I'm very good. I don't know what else to add to that other than I'm very good.
In a bit of a weird place, I'd say. Like we got back a week ago and, I don't know, it's just.
Have you got post-event blues?
Nah, maybe.
It's a thing. It's a real thing. We've been waiting for it.
I'm not.
It's a real thing.
I'm just kind of existing.
Yeah, that's post-event blues.
I'm not like super excited for anything. I'm not like down about anything. It's just like, yeah.
Post-event blues.
Is that post-event blues? 100%.
Yeah.
Blues would suggest down, negative to me. No. It's not negative. It's just kind of, yeah.
Winter as well.
We've gone from a high adrenaline, exciting, and you're back in the mundane. of not being at a World Cup, not being in another country.
School holidays. I'll tell you one observation of being away for three weeks. I know the boys there for a little bit, but it was a bit different. And then coming back to the reality of four kids. Because you kind of normalise it when you're in it. And then I came back, oh, man, this is a lot. We've got a lot of kids here, like...
the hell did we do this and then you kind of get back on the horse and yeah it's supposed to be blue i'm telling you it's a real it's a genuine thing it's not it's not a negative it's not like you're in a deep depression of hating anything it's just like oh that was yeah like you yeah you were at this operating at this level and then you come back and it's like oh okay i'm back into school runs and wiping benches and answering emails and yeah watching the games on tv is not the same as being in the stadium
I was walking down the road again the other day, just thinking, and I was thinking, why didn't we, you know, why didn't, like, why didn't you have events when you came back to keep the buzz going?
Oh, like watch parties.
Yeah, well, that's the word. Yeah, yeah. Watch parties. You know what? Because it's been a lot.
It has, but New Zealand's a funny place, eh? We are not fantastic people. at being really excited about things when we're here. But when you're not here, you get really excited about things.
Yeah.
And maybe it is just the different energy shift from being actually at it and then being here again. Like I slept through it. I didn't even bother waking up for a couple of games this week. Wow. Didn't watch them at all.
It always surprises me, Steve, every now and then when you go, wow, who knew that four kids would be at large?
