Basketball and benny

Today was THE basketball match…well…THE FIRST OF MANY basketball matches. It started as an idea between me and benny to have an east vrs north london basketball match. However it didn’t really turn out like that but it was still really good fun. A saturday sunny day spent scuffing up dust clouds as we lept with inexperience, hands waving madly in attempts to stop a potential basket, or really just to try to get the ball.

The crew included myself, nico, g, benny, maria, julia and gustav’s ex-flatmate hannah. Hannah spent most of her time on the mobile phone. G was rather good, good enough to cover hannah’s mobile phone handicap. It was probably the most fun basketball game i’ve played. And after, collapsing on the grass, dusty and tired, chatting in the sun, it was one of those days you thank life for your friends, saturdays and parks.
