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 different partnerships on the couch

There are a few different partnering up going on on the couch at home at the moment. Here are some of the "couples"

GREAT Weekend

I had a FANTASTIC weekend!!!!!

My dog

Under the duvet spread eagled like a chicken flatty

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.

Joburg again

I am back in Joburg again on business but this time I decided it would be great to drive around town in a 1100 neon blue Atos. For some strange reason I had booked this group when I booked my car hire online. I am not sure what I was thinking about when I booked it. Now I look like the biggest queen on earth, calling on high powered clients in my girl car. I miss my Volvo!

Me in the morning

I walk into work every morning feeling like this. There are two girls who are here before me and they are always so depressed and don't say a word. Guess which one I am.

Had to do it...

I got this in an email this morning and don't really post other people's stuff, but I just had to post this one. It is sooooooo funny...

Finally

So I have been saying that I will be posting my car on here, and finally, here it is. Its a Volvo S40 and its a Cameleon Blue Pearl colour. So its blue and sometimes greenish, with a copper sheen in the light. I love it so much and it drives like a dream!

Mining and the world

So this whole week the world has been watching the Chilean Miners and specifically yesterday the whole day rescue effort. I have been sort of watching it from time to time and being an avid Skye News watcher in the mornings, have been forced to watch it as it is the only thing that was showing on international news channels the entire day. I am so happy they rescued all of these miners who have been stuck and away from their families. It must have been really crap being underground for that long not knowing what your fate will be. However. ENOUGH now. There are so many more important issues in the world happening that can be reported on. I mean who (apart form their families) wants to really see 39 men being pulled out of a hole in a suffocating tube at 100m per 5min??? I for one would rather choose to stay underground as apposed to going in that thing. Show the first one, maybe the second one, go to world news, the weather, show a few current affairs program then come back after a few hours and show the 3rd one. Not this pull by pull account of it. Its like those freaks who watch Big Brother while they are sleeping....

And in other news, our intelligent president has made it clear that he will once again use his power in the UN security council to further the cause of corrupt, autocratic, oppressive countries like Zimbabwe, Myanmar probably Iran....oh no wait sorry hes said to help struggling third world countries...

Nkosi Sikelei Africa....
