Ursula Birthday

On my birthday I woke up and I went for a run. Helgard was ready with coffee on my return, he also presented me with a small birthday card.

After reading the card he took me to his car, in the boot stood a huge box with a ribbon around it. I was over whelmed when I opened the box, because it contained the top of the range Kenwood mixer.

Thanks- you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Helgard.

Gert Bacholors

With the help of Danita I contacted all the males that would attend Gert's wedding. Emails and SMSs were flying back an forth and eventually a date was set.

We held a braai for Gert at his house on a night Dalene had to work. Ursula prepared salad and we had meat and beer so we were set.
With a couple bags of wood on hand we had a friendly fire going and soon afterward we were braai-ing a meat and saussages. The mood was festive with a the guys telling jokes and stories and enjoying each others company.

At least all of us know each other now and the wedding party can just continue from here on.

Dak Natmaak

The rainy weather on a Saturday afternoon didn't stop friends and family to join our house warming party. The guest started arriving at 2 o'clock with food, wine and presents under their arms. Some of my friend I haven't seen for some time, so it was wonderful to see them again. I'm really glad that we have wonderful friends and family that share our happiness of a new house. The present weren't necessary but thanks everyone, we appreciate it dearly.

The party started with a rugby match that some people just couldn't miss. Well nearly everyone ended up in front of the TV, fortunately the bokke won!

I was busy showing the house and cooking so I didn't really talked to a lot of people. I can remember that I told some friends to leave the kitchen because I still had to do some cooking, they just answered, that they not going to sit somewhere else, the kitchen is big enough to that I can cook and they can enjoy them self by eating some of Gert's home-made bread. I was only smiling after this comment, because the previous kitchen in the townhouse was very small, it is a real privilege.

The best joke of the evening was when Jerry was telling Iné-Marie that his children needs a mother again.

Everyone enjoyed the party and the kids were sleeping in front of the television. I'm not sure if the kids were sleeping because of hungry of tiredness. Dinner was served late, why I don't know, I think everyone was enjoying the fire and laughter.

During the evening it was interesting to see how many ladies tried out GT4 on the Playstation.

After everyone left, Jerry and Ina-Marie had sherry with us. The house warming was lovely, so the dishes were washed with smiles while Helgard and myself were "reliving" the evening
