Kimbo's birthday and a farewell rugby clash...

Happy Birthday...!

Kimbo turned 32 today and enjoyed receiving all the birthday calls, presents and well wishes throughout the day. We took it easy but did manage to get to the Bryanston Garden Cafe for chocolate cake and a train ride this afternoon. Kimbo now has skype so will be "hooking up" with all those out there on the system.

As there are only 6 weeks to go until the move to Dubai, Gareth "kindly" organised a farewell for us yesterday which involved playing 30 minutes of rugby as a re-match from his batchelors game of last year. We managed to pull off a tight victory and are feeling a lot worse for wear today. I have a rake mark on my head which will be difficult to explain come Monday. Many thanks to Anton for reffing and organising the field and facilities at Pirates Rugby Club down the road. The old funnell made an appearance at the fines meeting and - strangely - whilst many had lost their silky touches on the field, they still managed to perform in the bar. Good luck to Anton (second from right, top row, next to Tom Cruise) and his Lions team mates for the Currie Cup season. Success could not come to a nicer guy. I am a fan.

Josh's Big Day

Today is Josh's second birthday! We have had a week-end of celebrating, starting with Granny's arrival from the Eastern Cape on Saturday and followed by his party on Sunday morning. He has been thoroughly spoilt and totally enjoyed being the centre of attention, eating too much cake (and smarties!) and playing with his new toys. Diggers were the theme of the day yesterday, and my Mom and I put together a "digger cake" for the party. Here are some photos of the birthday boy as well as his little brother who was quite overwhelmed by all the festivities!

Clean Sweep at Cape Schools Rugby Week

Selborne College were the toast of Cape Schools Rugby Week winning all three games (beating Wynber 49 - 3, Boland Landbou 16 - 10 and SACS 34 - 8). Other, lesser known schools, like Grey High School PE, got bashed about somewhat. Oh dear...! Full story on http://www.selborne.co.za/.
