It all started on Friday, which was Sharon’s 30th. On the way home I stopped off at Woolworths and picked up a huge bunch of flowers (my dad and Cassia had sent me money and asked to get her flowers as well as a gift). When I walked through the door carrying the flowers Sharon’s …
The plan for Sunday had been a fishing trip for Nick’s birthday, but WeatherSA (those bastards) had predicted cold fronts and Armageddon so we’d called it off. Then an amazing thing happened, we woke up to the most beautiful day. WOW! They’d gotten it wrong…when has that ever happened before (where’s the sarcasm font?). Anyway, …
The weekend started with a bang! We finished work at lunch time and all headed for the canteen which had been converted to a fan park. The World Cup opening ceremony was on at 2pm so we all watched as South Africa showed the world what we’re made of. It was rather impressive, and I …
Beer pong is a drinking game consisting of 2 teams of 2 players. Each team stands at opposite ends of a long table, and sets up 10 beer glasses into the shape of a triangle. The beer glasses are then partially filled with beer. Each player in team 1 is then given a ping pong …
The first of the Easter-time, long weekends has sadly come to an end. The good news is that it wasn’t wasted, as Sharon and I join Western and Karen for an awesome three days at Lotheni. Unfortunately, since we both have new jobs, we had to drive up early on Saturday morning rather than the …
After many months of deliberation and saving Western finally got his new toy…a Canon 7D (bastard!). It turns out that this was just good enough to stop him from going paddling, and instead invite Sharon and I around for a braai and some photography fun. We got to Western’s place at around 6 and proceeded …
Ten years after their first date, and the day finally arrived…Nick and Tazz’s wedding. And with a best men trio of Rob, Pierre and myself it was going to be a ripper of a weekend! Sharon picked me up from the office on Friday and we headed for Hilton (after a quick stop at the …
At 10am on Saturday morning Rob and Pierre picked me up and we headed for Pietermaritzburg to pick up Nick. Somebody had let him in that we’d be meeting at the Pav at 1pm, so he wasn’t expecting us at his house at 10:30. After picking him up we headed to Rob’s place in Westville …
On Thursday morning Sharon and I headed to ‘Maritzburg to pick up a puppy from Arrie. Sadly the puppy wasn’t for us, but for Sharon’s sister’s son (We aren’t allowed dogs in my section of the complex). We got to Arrie’s house at around 8am, had a cup of coffee, and then drove home with …
The month of August continued with its awesomeness. After a one day work week Sharon and I were on a plane (hopefully one that wouldn’t fall out of the sky) to Cape Town. Just to get us off to a rocky start it turned out I had a pocket knife in my camera bag. This …
