Scary Party...makeup is done. Thanks Karla!

So, here are some snaps. This post is in "Australian" for a mate of mine who doesn't quite understand the Afrikaner lingo ;-)

All dressed-up with somewhere to go.
Karla did all the makeup, but is going to another, seperate party tonight, thus only the three of us.

Karin is still smokin' hot, even as a vampire ;-)
(...I don't have make-up on; just went for a beer in a pub in Brakpan last night...)

Us with our makeup artists...

First 2016 summer braai and starting the usual pre-summer lawn work.

Even though it does not looks so here, the lawns have been aerated, fertilised and
some soil improver spread (dark brown bits on lawn). Looks great now (a week later).

For those that know us, yep, the usual....
One of Lily's bones are in the foreground (sheep neck).


Lily, getting ever rounder. Like they say, "Die baas lyk soos die hond...."

Lazy (first) summers day

At last we are getting some warmer weather! Decided to shoot up to the Swan Valley yesterday for coffee and a bite at Yahava Coffee and the Tea House near Elmar's. Elmar's was choka-block, with ticket-only entry for the Oktober Fest, which sounded festive indeed.

Got home just in-time for the All Black's vs Wallabies, and we (unfortunately, but not unexpectedly) got smashed. Bummer. I decided to have a "branna" to calm me down ;-)

Just before 5, and when all the shops close, we made a snap decision to braai and it turned out to be an awesome night. Aside from the braai, I fixed the fairy-lights and we also spent 3+ hours listening to music. Apple Music and the wireless Bose are a great match.

It was amazing to see just how much Afrikaans music there is on Apple Music now; huge!

Gene at Yahava explaining some dubious Star Wars spaceship principle.

...and Karla with her nose in a book as usual...

Mmmm, waffles!


A final snap before heading home for the Rugby.

The joys of Apple Music. Karin loved searching for all the oldies from back-in-the-day. Good fun and good memories.

Just playing; a double-exposure with the Ricoh GR, something one only used to be able to do with film.


A bit ad-hoc, with braai's and chairs shelter-skelter, but it was a relaxing evening. Look at the star trails too ;-)

By about 8pm Eugene had gone off to Lalaland...
