BARBS AND ME BAGGAGE - AND ME
ME- THE BUNNY
DINNERCLUB AT MC DONALDS
US VAN DIJK'S
You must be wondering what these photo's on the blog are of today.................
Well I have so many stuff running through my mind and have to do so many things that I am doing and handling at the moment that i lost who I am really and have to find the real me so here goes.
Barbara is visiting me for a few days and it is nice not to be alone. We come a long way as friends. We have holidayed together in Mauritius.........We had many laughs and fun. It was a good holiday. We went out for dinner tonight at Martino's (Portuguese) tonight. We had laughs and cries as Maria (the owner) lost her husband a few weeks ago. The cries were with her and also the laughs were with her. Does it not sound strange to say "lost: her husband............. Where do they get the saying as it sounds as if you must go look to find him........ I do not mean to be disrespectful but we have to find a better way of saying some one died.... LOST............. REALLY....confusing use of words and meaning. HELP.....
Barbara and I have to both work tomorrow (she has business in Durban) and I am in the surgery to do the last week of work and tying up of loose ends....... It will be good to see the girls there as well.
On Wednesday we are going to a game reserve. We both love the bush and the animals. That will be great.
OK now to find myself........................I said before I am slightly, no, no lets rephrase that I am totally nuts..........
BAGGAGE (THE FIRST PHOTO)
This is how I always return from overseas visits. Yes I am pushing that trolley of luggage. This time my weigh in luggage was 69kg............................ I also had lots of hand luggage. The airline was so sweet did not even charge me for overweight. I will not be able to do this now as the airlines are very strict.......... Now the craziness comes from me just "ganning aan" and not thinking about how am I going to get all this stuff home....... I mean on this trip we had dinner at a restaurant just before leaving for the airport. I saw the most beautiful canister for Hannes's bar and bought it. I never once thought of how to get it home. I had big hand luggage already and just added this to the one finger on the hand that did not have a packet to hold.........
The canister and pour er was from Selangor. It Is pewter made in Malaysia. Very beautiful.... I got it home in one piece BUT my hands and fingers were nearly rotting off from loss of circulation............ CRAZY
ME - THE BUNNY
I might be crazy but this was so much fun. The trauma staff wanted to do something special for Hannes on his birthday a few years ago. They asked me if I would jump, yes jump, out of a cake for him in the hospital foyer. I did not even have to think about it. It was done. Now picture this.
07h30 in the morning in the foyer of the private hospital (busy time) this very big polystyrene cake, which is iced and decorated, is in the foyer. It has to be big as I have to sit in it...............
Hannes walks into the foyer form the parking and the trauma staff start singing and I jump out of the "koek" with a "bunny" (yes playboy number) outfit and give him a hug and a kiss. Hannes is a good manners and everything correct manual on legs. he was blushing BUT loved it. (here the crayon comes into play again....) To pull this one off I had to lie to him as where I was going so early in the morning. I am NOT a morning person at all and I had to get up before him and leave the house before him. I blamed the rotary anne's with some fund raiser for the early hours of me leaving........ ME I AM CRAZY
DINNERCLUB AND MC DONALDS.
This was fantastic, and all my idea............ Our diner club met once a month. each couple had turns in cooking for the dinner club. My turn I thought I want to do something different. SO I rented a limo for the ten of us (The only limo I could find was for 8 people.....) It was a tight fit. I told dinner club to dress very smart and meet in front of our apartment. I had the limo company drive us to Balito (just to confuse all) we stopped next to the beach and had some drinks... Then we went back to Umhlanga. My idea was Mc Donalds Drive through.....Hey do you know a limo does not fit in the drive through. It can not take the turns...................... OK OK I now know that. So we bundled out the limo, and I had previously arranged with Mc Donald to do a kiddy party with face painting and colouring in books and a cake, for our dinner. (We were all over 40)
We had stacks of fun and laughs and the stares form the other people in Mc Donalds was priceless (They did not know where they know us from........... Hell we have to be famous to arrive in a black stretch..........................) CRAZY OR WHAT....
COLLAGE
Just my family all in a nice tight box together................ I love these 4 men in my life so much........
I am so lucky to have such nice and sweet and naughty and lively individuals as my family....Gees I even help make some of them ....................... THEY DRIVE ME CRAZY.....

So who am I now after all this..... I love having fun and laughs. Gees I will even at my own cost try and cause some of the laughs..... Life is too short and too hard not to go for the fun and laughs form time to time. Don't' get me wrong I can also be the biggest worry er in the world.......believe me I can take a mole hill and make table mountain looks like pin prick................. I don't only "haal die bobbejaan agter die berg" I sommer give it a few little ones as well...............just in case.
I never do anything is moderation............. I always have to overdo BUT I will never "underdo" OH No, me I go for the biggest kill in everything. Hannes knows me so well. he will always add a couple of naughts if I got a bargain somewhere. Is this a good or a bad point, I wonder?
Time management is also not my strongest point. My boys can vouch for this. They NEVER phone me until I am 30 minutes late............................ Is this a good or a bad point I wonder?
There is always space for an extra body at my table or party............Is this a good or a bad point, I wonder?
I always say "give me a dozen" when I actually only need one. This is one thing Dubai will train me into not doing. I do not have cupboard space to pack the dozen. Gees the only space to keep the ironing board when not in use in under my bed. Is this a good thing, I wonder?
Enough as I still do not really know who am I really..............

Hannes says the car is still not delivered.....In Arabic the word is "inshalla" It means God willing I think........ We think it means "possibly but not likely".................. He cannot wait to drive himself and also to have some weekend freedom of driving anywhere without the financial burden of taxi fares...................
Well "inshalla" I am now going to sleep.
Chat later again.
