Guys, I apologise for having been too quiet but it has been a hectic period with exams having gotten the better of me and my mama is graduating on the 4th of December so you can imagine the running around that is going on to please her here and there. Anyway those are details that will be taken taken care of but sadly I will be lonely without her as I continue my pursuit of engineering knowledge and technological excellence. (She's welcome to stay with me anytime though).
That aside Mean Machine had a better show this passed weekend at the Christie Sevens compared to the Dala Sevens in Kisumu. Ayimbas presence makes a difference to the team as coach and I'm sure Nakuru will be good. My mama and I will be there as Nakuru is also home for her in some aspects. This time to my pleasure we do not have to go to Egerton to visit her sis as the whole mob will be there at the Nakuru Sevens.
The thrill of the day is that the 2009/10 IRB 7's journey for Kenya 7's has began. This makes me happy as following this team round the globe (at least on telly and the internet) gives me serious highs and my relationship with Mwenda's can resume again properly. I will not make any judgement with this post on the team but will reserve that for another time. The beauty is that we don't have to refer to the team as the 'Virgins' or 'Virgin Boys' as personally my mama and I couldn't stand that name. Thanks KQ for rescuing the team name and we shall happily refer to them as Shujaa.
The team though looks very conservative with Ayimba chosing those those he has faith with and no newcomers make the team as yet. Of course Kopondo makes the team.
