Last weeks run # 1455 : Hare: JAN KLEIN
A good turnout for a good run… I must admit I always have a quiet giggle at the runners who have sooooo much to say about the knitting circle and then get injured (Hermanus) or have done a 21km run in the morning (Long Drop & Keel Over) or are now just passed it (Gargoyle) and ”have” to join the knitting circle – See we do exercise and yes some confidential issues are discussed (no Long Drop I will not drop you in the poo we do stick to our doctor/patient confidentiality clause) – enough said!

It was good to see old holidaying hashers making the run (Lefty & Rhona) and the returning foot of Tinkerbell after his appendix was removed a month or 2 ago. So onto the walk…. Peter Pan & Blodwynleek set off at a good pace up the hill away from the Stone Church outside Kirstenbosch after being told by the hare that he did not suggest that the knitting circle follow the runners as he had set the run on his bicycle….

Herm-anus, subjected to the knitting circle due to his tendon injury was chatting away with Gargoyle, while Long Drop was intrigued by the various girl talks including Jagsmeisie’s explanation as to why long Snot Goblin’s fine hair took to dry, Keel over was gloating over having beaten Long Drop by 4 minutes but that could have been due to the fact that he had indigestion from having rushed his porridge in the car as they had set their alarms an hour later than they thought! Doggy Style, Hermanus & co pondered over whether an overseas report that SA was now in a recession was correct and the men seemed far happier to be discussing economic issues that female problems, other conversations about cars were blandished about but I did not take any notice of those…. The runners were seen WALKING up a further hill in the direction of Jan Klein’s old pad and then our paths crossed again a short while later.

In no time at all we crossed into the muddy paths of the green belt area and were shown the wonders of nature in spring. Blodwynleek was heard commenting about the array of colourful flowers along the pathway to Rhona & Peter Pan. Snot Goblin coped very well and would not have assistance even on muddly inclines which had Herm-anus worried about his ankle and Mikhail complaining about his knee…

The walkers arrived back at the chariots about 5-10minutes before Lefty was seen striding in at least 2-3minutes ahead of the pack (of course claiming that he had not short-cutted – yeah right!) Slowly the muddy, motley bunch all arrived back and hastily climbed into their chariots to race down to “chez a la Small” as the braai awaited.

It was nice to have the gourmet hashers join us (Easy Rider, who’s the boss & Bakers oven) and a festive mood continued while much beverage & kos was consumed to celebrate and commemorate the 50th run set by the one & only Jan Klein.

Thanks to Blodwynleek & Jan Klein for their hospitality and allowing us to through your shoes in the pool…..

PS – All hashers in possession of tankards were given a free drink… so bring yours along you never know when this will happen again.
