Whats the point?

On the way to work this morning I drove past a council "worker" who had strapped to his back what can only be described as a JETPAK. And in his arms he was holding a large protrudence which I guess can be called a "blower". There this guy was walking down the sidewalk blowing air on to the ground - blowing all loose things (grass cuttings, leaves, litter) a little further down the sidewalk and of course out of his own way. How odd! I thought to myself - thats really wierd and seems quite pointless. It reminded me of my job!

to Saffers in April

A celebration for my folks and a chance to show Fi (my girlfriend) some warmer climates and the beauty of SA - as if she needed convincing - we jetted off to Cape Town in April 2005. After spending 2 nights there we headed along the Garden Route to East London, stopping at a few places along the way. Oh the interesting sights we saw along the way - its nice in Knysna!
After a few days in EL with the folks we headed to Gauteng to see the "kykdaars" in their natural habitat and to see the gold of Sun City and the "wild" animals in the Pilanesberg. The rhino and elephant stories will live longer than most.
Pictures to prove some of these stories can be seen here

lost again

Played cricket this afternoon - lost again!!
but at least I got 3 wickets and broke someone's nose - fair enough
:o)

small beginnings

So this is how it all starts - not with a bang and barely a whimper. Sat morning watching the Super 12 final with an air of "i dont care who wins as long as the ref has a good game" - you know what I mean.
