Back into the whole sports thing

Sports. Mmm.  Rugby.  Even a bigger mmmm.  Though I think he's looking ready for bok selection, no?  First time I've seen him on the pitch this season, and granted a practice game only (though at the start of the season it feels like a bloody early, bloody long practice), but he played really well, including this three tackle break and a try.

Getting the arm out and the shoulder low against Nello - who is one of the national age selection kids,
and doesn't miss much.  Aiden has good strong legs for this stuff

Round and through...

Through Harry Maddren too...

Jake, the human missile Brunner goes uncharacteristically high, gets his arm in, spins, keeps the ball away...

Through that altercation...

And with the momentum, too much gas and off to the line (with a smiling Simon M in the background).

The deep delight of seeing you

Loved seeing you so much - thought you were so engaged with your life, so full of calm energy, so admirable :-)  How cool, but intimidating, was the Ponte building?
I so love this photo of you - it's somehow all right - thanks again for the tip (used many many times since).

Reunion

PBHS being built in the early 1900s.  Amazing photo, just nothing around at all

Walking into the school with Steve and Ponti

Brendan, Ponti, Bevan, Steve and me at the Waterkloof golf club - love the flat top thorn trees

Lovely Justin and Tessa in their garden - super divine kids


Bushveld

Love the look and feel of the landscape driving out
