The sun was out, the weather was great, kids were play­ing cricket (yes!) and chuck­ing a rugby ball around, and believe it or not, this was at the SMU field, Sin­ga­pore. Not Paine Reserve, Kingsford/Randwick, Sydney.

So the kids and their par­ents spoke with Aussie accents, but what the heck, the sun was out and the weather was great.

Our game of touch footy was a sham­bles, though. Five blokes bailed on us, and so we had to run our­selves ragged again play­ing three on three till we got bored. Then we played three on three with full con­tact instead of touch, though self-preservation took prece­dence and we more or less tick­led each other to the ground instead of tackling.

Fun and sun­burn was had and enjoyed by all present, and we’re plan­ning to make this a weekly (every Sun­day) event. Same place, 5pm. If you’re inter­ested (boys and girls) please apply here.

Right now I am deathly busy, but very glad I had a bit of a run on the pad­dock yes­ter­day. Doesn’t get any bet­ter than this, I don’t think.

iTunes’ party shuf­fle is play­ing a copy of: I Don’t Like Mon­days — The Boom­town Rats — Great Songs of Indif­fer­ence: The Best of Bob Geldof & the Boom­town Rats, of which I have the orig­i­nal CD and there­fore didn’t steal music.
