Christmas in Prague. The tree on Old Town Square

The view from my window

My fall

This is what happened to my leg when I fell off my bike. Torn pants and slide marks.

Weather

The weather is really bad today. Snowig, raining, windy. And this morning I fell off my bike. I have been riding a bike around Amsterdam this whole week and today it went a little pear shaped. I will still get back on again.

The European Freeze

After a 12 hour flight that was extremely bumpy, all I wanted to do was get my jacket on and walk around in Amsterdam. Instead I am now sitting on the plane in Brussels airport, and going to be here for another 3 hours. There was too much snow in Amsterdam, so we diverted and now we wait. What a good start!

Something happened on the way...

....no AT the fair. We saw this owl but he did not want to look at me once.

Cape Town

They are changing the city centre by turning most of the streets around Greenmarket Square in to pedestrian walkways. This is creating such an European feel to the city. Maybe its all the quaint little coffee shops or restaurants lining the streets and around the square. Maybe its the newly created cobble streets. Maybe its the old buildings housing modern shops or maybe the European feeling just comes from the fact that everybody there spoke a foreign language....

Our garden

Our garden at our present house is looking so nice. This is the lavender growing in the front. It looks good and it smells even better

THE HONEST TRUTH

Good old Julius

1 Day the teacher found Julius Malema in the Library photocopying blank paper, so she asked him "what are you doing Julius?"
he replied " I am making more paper"


One day Julius was enjoying the sun in South Beach in Durban.
A lady came and asked him, "Are you relaxing?"
Julius answered, "No, I am Julius."
Another guy came and asked him the same question.
Julius answered, "No! No! I'm Julius!"
A third one came and asked him the same question again.
Julius was totally annoyed and decided to shift his place.
While walking he saw a certain guy soaking in the sun.
He went up to him and asked, "Are you Relaxing?"
This guy was a lot more educated and answered, "Yes, I am relaxing."
Julius slapped him in his face and said,
"Hey wena... Everyone is looking for you and you are sitting over here

From a friend

I made a decision that all the art work in my house should be done by people I know. And that doesn't mean famous people who we all know, that means people who have been in my house or in my life. Then it means more to me. With this in mind, my latest acquisition is a painting done by a very close friends mother. She specially painted my two dogs (she started before we got the third one), and when this painting arrived this weekend I was blown away. It is amazing! I never expected it to be this good. It went onto the wall immediatly. Thank you!

Party on

Volvo launch

Last week Friday we got invited to the launch of the new Volvo S60. Such an amazingly beautiful car. I want one now! While there the Volvo team were dared to put on moustaches to celebrate this silly Movember (such a rediculously stupid idea forna goodncause). After that the pulled people from the crowd with real moustaches to take photos with. Tristan was one of these people. Then, just as I thought I was in the clear, they pulled me in to film a little skit for their facebook page. A crazy night.

The latest Joburg saga

I had to fly up here for the day to do some business and got a rental car. Low and behold, I reverse out of an underground parking, and into a pillar. What a way to start my trip...

Pretoria

This is the reason why Pretoria is called the Jakaranda city. They are blooming all over the city and its purple everywhere. Even if they are alien vegitation, they still make the city beautiful.
