George

I say!

I found this image on my travel laptop, which reminds me of a visit George made to Kalimbuka a while back, to see Mrs M and myself.

George is an artist, and this was the thankyou card he sent us afterwards. Very nice, don't you think? George found Doviko's nsima rather hard to digest, but otherwise very much enjoyed his stay.

Food

I say!

One must eat, and eat well. That is my motto. A healthy diet (plus copious amounts of MGT) helps to keep away diseases such as swamp or dengue fever.

Here are some snaps showing the delicious food prepared for us at the Pitch Consultant's seminar in Lisbon, earlier this year.

Hotboy at the cricket

I say!

As promised, here is a snap of Hotboy enjoying the view from the boundary.

Rained off

I say!

Well, after an initial flurry of activity, the radio stations do not seem to be leaping at the opportunity to air my short story "A night at the border". I had high hopes of Radio Zim buying the rights for Z$3,000,000. However, although that may sound like a lot of dosh, due to the rampant inflation in Zimbabwe just now, that amount would hardly buy a round of MGTs. I gather that golfers there now pay for their MGTs before they play a round, due to the fact that the prices will have risen by the time they reach the 18th. Terrible situation there, despite my joking, and many people are now going hungry. We should all pray for them.

On a lighter matter, I had to undertake some official pitch consultant duties at a recent cricket match in Edinburgh. The facilities were excellent.

Here I am, directing operations with respect to the covers.

Unfortunately, the match was rained off, and there was little else to be done except repair to the bar.

I must just say that the bar staff there are extremely adept at serving G&Ts. I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much, the bar staff at The Grange.

I was also fortunate enough to meet up with Hotboy at the match. Of which more, next time.
