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.
