Saturday was a rather exciting day for me as I stepped onto a squash court for the first time in over 6 months. I was a little worried about my Achilles even though I’d experienced no pain over the past few months. Thankfully I quickly forgot about it (well mostly) as I played Sharon for …
After much deliberation (due to a lack of leave) I decided at the last minute to take off Monday and have a long weekend. This seemed like a great idea until we started trying to book accommodation and found out everything was full. WTF?! I though kids were back at school? Anyway, Sharon eventually managed …
After a very relaxing 2 week cruise my old man was kind enough to stop off in Durban and spend the Easter weekend with us. Thursday night was very relaxed. My dad had arrived in the morning, and spent the day at my house washing his 2 shirts which he had worn for the last …
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 …
My phone rang, and when I answered it, I was greeted with perhaps the most excited Sharon I’d ever heard. She’d won 4 tickets to see a show at the Elizabeth Sneddon theatre. After phoning around Graham and Robyn agreed to join us, and we met at the theater for the “Crazy 80s”. The show is put …
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 …
As most of you know, I’m big into photography, so when Sharon spotted a competition in the December issue of Go magazine, I eagerly went through my photos of the past few years and entered a few of the better ones. Shortly after entering I was contacted and told I’d made it into the finals …
At 4am on Sunday I was up and ready for the epic Baha Boys deep sea fishing trip. Nick and I hooked up the Jet Ski and headed for Umdloti, stopped at a garage of course for a quick coffee and kak (you can’t go at sea). At 5:30am we pushed the ski into the …
On Saturday morning we were on the road just after 4am, coffee at the ready. The trip went by relatively quickly with just a short stop to grab a Red Bull. Just before 7am we pulled into the “complex”, La Rochelle, where everybody was waiting. After nearly two years of dating Sharon I finally met …
At 3:30am my alarm went off, Sharon I made a flask of coffee, packed the car, and were on the road by just after 4. On the drive to Umfolozi we had a good breakfast of egg mayonnaise sandwiches and filter coffee. We had decided to enter the park through the Hluhluwe gate and make …
