Kenya: Nanyuki

                                      Saturday 21st March 

Nanyuki, Kenya:

Happy to report that today was a day of relaxation. That is, until I watched Ireland play Wales in the 6 Nations Rugby. If Ireland win, they achieve the Grand Slam, the first for Ireland since 1948. My goodness, I wasn't even born then so they've got to be long overdue for this.

It was a tense match, on both sides because if Wales could defeat Ireland by 13 points, they would win the Grand Slam. It came down to the final minutes and Ireland was behind then suddenly a drop goal put them in front. What drama. In the final minute of the game, Wales got awarded a penalty kick and all they had to do was score & Ireland would have lost their dream.

The ball fell just short of its target & Ireland were crowned as Grand Slam winners. Give me a showdown with a Somalian rebel any day & I think I would have been calmer. After that, a wee dram to toast my countrymen & off to bed.
