~~ ONYO AT THE KAMI CONCERT ~~
MATRAVILLE RSL

Well it has certainly been a big week, between Ning's brother arriving in the country, the death of my good friend Erry and a visit to the police after death threats from a former barkada member, I have found little time for much else.

Our ex-dearest Anabelle also spent a lot of time coming up with the idea to call me a hippopotamus, although this was not gratified with as much time spent finding how to spell it.
A quick check of Wikipedia reveals the following:
"The hippopotamus is semi-aquatic, inhabiting rivers and lakes in sub-Saharan Africa in groups of 5-30 hippos. During the day they remain cool by staying in the water or mud; reproduction and childbirth both occur in water, where territorial bulls preside over a stretch of river. They emerge at dusk to graze on grass. While hippos rest near each other in territories in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos are not territorial on land."

This certainly does not seem to describe too well the way I spend each day of my life.
However a quick look at some photos revealed something very interesting.

These creatures have a body like mine (which is what I am sure she was trying to elude to) and a face like hers, which leads one to wonder if this is how the kids would have turned out had I ever married her. I wonder if this was her way of asking me to procreate with her?
The poor girl then went on to refer to me as a bore pig.
Again we refer to Wikipedia:
Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, their closest living relatives are cetaceans (whales, porpoise, etc.).

So Anabelle appears to be really suffering some sort of confusion over what animal I am supposed to be, not to mention how to spell it, utilize the correct grammar while saying it, decide whether or not full stops are an optional extra and where one should use capitals.

ANYWAY - ENOUGH OF THAT BOLLOCKS!

Not surprisingly we took the visiting brother in law, Onyo, to the first Kami concert in our usual area of coverage. This was to be Saturday night over at the Matraville RSL club.
Probably one of the best nights in a while when it comes to attendance by barkada members and other friends.
It gave Onyo a good chance to see how we spend most of our lives nowdays, as did the following 24 hours of hanging out, eating, drinking, singing and the customary TFC.

Anyhow - enjoy the piccies below.

Twas just a small group at the start, Ning, ?, The Hippo, Casey, Analiza, Ron, Gina and Cecile prepare for a night of fun.

Analiza won the award for 'Best Dressed On Night'.

In a very surprising development, the long lost Colonel turns up to
support our barkada after a couple of rocky weeks.

And finally, not wishing to miss her chance, we find Annie also with Analiza.
