Geez, just spent nearly three hours catching up on the weekends blogs....
And three gunshots just went off pretty close - sounded like less than a block away. Though the third sounded quite a bit further, so perhaps they were coming from a car on the freeway (I live pretty close to the freeway). Never fun to hear. And they def weren't car backfire noises.......
So, it was a full weekend for me with the kids. We went out on Friday night to some God forsaken pub about 10km from home just to support a friend's friend who was playing a gig there. Hehe, our party of six (including my girls) were THE ONLY PEOPLE THERE.......
I sure felt shit about that, as he was a brilliant singer, and could work magic with his guitar - and damn hot too...... Ah well, it was pretty cool anyways.
Then yesterday was house cleaning day, so we spent most of it vacuuming, dusting, cleaning, doing laundry and stuff. I made some wicked soup for later, then after we went to meet Iain at our (child-friendly) local. I had a brandy or two, and caught up with all the goings on.
Today we did homework in the morning, then the ex called and said she a friend had offered her two tickets to the IPL game today at Wanderers so she wanted to take our oldest with. S is a cricket fan, and had never been to Wanderers before, so I agreed immediately.
My little one and I went off to mother's place to do duty at a boring (other side of the) family lunch. It turned out okay I guess. The food was good at least, and we stayed to watch the finals of the SA Idols thing. Blah... it always leaves a little bit of a sour taste for me. Four years ago, I worked with the Idols production team, and they still owe me a bunch of cash, so fuck them too.
More tomorrow. The laptop eyboard s actng up. Guess whch letters eep falng
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sounds like quite a domestic weekend. Sometimes it's good to have some days without drama and shock. :) And the last sentence, LMAO!!!
ReplyDeletewould this be an innapropriate time to say that the south African accents is WAY too underrated!
ReplyDeleteim watching TV, and there was a guy on it from SA, and it reminded just how much i love the SA accent.... i'de say it's the best english accent out there...

ReplyDelete@Tyler... Thanks mate, perhaps we could do a talky on msn sometime :) I just hate it when foreigners do movies about SA and they put some dork in to do a make-believe accent, and it sounds TERRIBLE haha! hugs for that anyway
