I found this old poster a few days ago! New Year’s Day 1967 – we were in Mijas… Our first Bullfight – in the only square bullring in the world. The Matador was a youngster (like us) and billed as Miguel Marquez… Followers of this Blog will know what happened to us during the last 40 years – but what happened to the Bullfighter?

He fought his last bull – and retired in 2002. Strange, so did I…

And I Thought They Were Working…

The Little Lawyer (and the Big Banker) are back in NYC – and not enjoying themselves at all – apparently…

A few training mates gathered to farewell Maik Petzold before he returned to Germany after a very successful World Cup Series. More pictures here…

We don’t get together often enough – and it only lasted 10 days (with a conference jammed in there somewhere) but we managed to pack in some action… more pictures here…

The Gods Must be Angry…

This was the view from the Little Lawyer’s apartment in Sydney – this morning… and here’s how it normally looks…

Lester in Luxor…

It’s nice to see him taking life easier these days – this is his THIRD shop! All in Luxor, Egypt…

More OVC London Lunching…

It’s good to see that a few Overseas Visitors Club (OVC) identities are still getting together and raising a glass (or 6)… In these pictures, just in from Lester, are (in no particular order) Jenny Goble, Gill Murdoch, Alan Stevens, Phillip Jacobson, David Lawson and Lester Jolly.

Ready to Race…

2.5km run + 1km swim + 2.5km run - be back in half an hour… It’s called an Aquathlon – but he had a different phrase for it! There’s more pictures here.

Another Lunch I Missed Out On…

Two days ago – in London – a few of our old friends from the Overseas Visitors Club got together for lunch… L-R – Lester Jolly, Annette Crossley, Margie Ellis, Eric Muller and Maxine Hitchcock – none of us have changed at all – except… I’ve just counted the bottles – looks like just 2 per person. Ah well – guess we are slowing down a bit!
