Yesterday we had a photographic session with the kids and once more we had to give up without one decent photo of both of them laughing! Here is a selection:

JBS football team win again
Today 2-6 against Robinson College.
And guess who scored five goals...
Yes, me!. Unbelievable. Today it was one of those days when you just kick the ball and it goes in. Specially if you are in a difficult position. I missed two or three easy chances, but surprisingly, I scored three goals with my left leg.
To be honest I scored four and a half goals. The last one was after very good play from Amane, who could have scored had I not kicked it first.
And what makes it more amazing is that I was feeling so bad today before the match. I almost didn't go. I went to the pub night yesterday and I was hangover. I couldn't run for the first half an hour and we even started 1-0 down.
But the team did a very good job and we played much more in their side of the field than in ours. Also, as in our first victory, this rival played less phisical than others. They let us play and we let them play. Less tackles and as a consequence better football.
Marvin -Janine's husband-played as a keeper. Roupen, Haru, Ahmed and Andrey played defense. Andy, Sina, Ken and Amane midfield. And Dihan and me up front.
Sina scored the othe goal, the fifth, in a very good kick after a clear goal chance I missed.
We all finished the match with cramps and couldnt' run anymore. We really need some phisical training. I definitely need it. I could play much better if I were able to go running twice a week. I'm going to try.
In April we play against "the other place", and in May against other MBA teams near Paris during the MBAT. I still don't know if I could go, but I'd like to. There is also a cross country race. And I definitely need to train for this.

The Gibbons
This weekend we had a swift visit from the Gibbons: David, Rachel, Daniela, Laura, Thomas and Amy. It was lovely to see them.
David spent here thee years (?) reading for his Phd at St. John's College and keeps very good memories from the city. We even went to visit his tutor, a Professor of Italian now almost retired but that irradiates energy and is in extraordinary good shape for his age.
Dani and Laura have grown a lot, and also Thomas. I didn't know Amy. She looks like David (and Dani) and seems to be a very good girl. I can't believe I already have... how many? 17 nieces? Something like that...

Pictures of Diego and Leonardo
People keep asking us to upload more pictures of the kids. Here they are.
Yes, they are growing very fast. Leonardo is already 6kg and Diego who knows.
Time is flying. We are almost halfway through the course.
