Kenyan women get to play ‘kati’ aka dodge ball, bladder – something close to that, and bubble gum, although I grew up knowing it was bablican bablican. They give no chance for the other nationalities, mainly European to show what they did as kids.
Men, as usual, have carried football all these years and I don’t think they need reminding. Most find their game quite enjoyable, but a few will join the women as they reminiscence their childhood games.
Our children are always amazed at the games we played some 10-30 yrs ago. At first they just spectate, before they gather the courage to join in.
However, yesterday’s weather was a put off. The temperature was too cold, and many parents didn’t wait till dark. By 5:00 pm, we were freezing and almost everyone had left.
Next year, if I’ll help plan it, I might just call the weather station a month in advance just to be on the safe side.

did the bablican, bablican go something like "bablican,bablican, number twenty one, I went to the zoo and now I .........underwood." or did I make those words up back then?
A pity the weather did not permit it but from the pics looks like it was a good day.Would have been better had the sun shone!
Where I come from it went something like "mabirigani mabirigani, numba twendi wanu ai wenti fora woko andi now ai stopu andi rest!"

The bladder was fun though, no pics this year. Remember 'in - out - in - apart - in - out and over.
It's always been fun, and long, except this time.
