Welcome back! Yes it has been a while. The run-up to Henriëttes’ departure to the UK consumed a lot of time and the aftermath was spent getting back on track with all the “little things” that had been left undone. We are now the proud owners of two Sphynx cats (we adopted Henriëttes’ babies). They.

Sunday evening we had a final braai with Rob, Henriëtte and Henriëtte’s parents before Rob left for London on Wednesday. The mood was rather dark, but everyone tried to keep a brave face. I kept thinking: this is the last braai in the back yard, the last few drinks together, the last time we’ll all.

I’m trying to catch up on blogging all the items that have flown by in the last month or so… We got our wedding pictures from Zani sometime in January. They are absolutely stunning, everyone who has seen them has been impressed. The small holding provided such a nice backdrop and Zani really made good.

We went to Maynardville Open-Air Theatre on Tuesday to see the production of Romeo and Juliet. We met up with Leon, Sylvia, Wicus, Margie and Stephan before the show for a picknick. Leon talked me into trying some sushi, which was actually pretty good 😯. I let them all taste some 99% Lindt, with mixed.

So its been a wild two days back at home. Saturday we picked up Rob and Henriette from the airport and dropped them at home where I had left my one car. It sounded a bit funny when I started it, after being left standing for a month, but I took it for a bit.

We got married on Saturday. Everything went well and my bride looked absolutely stunning! I can’t wait to see the pictures taken by Zani. The two days before the wedding were hectic. There was still a lot of things that had to be finalised as well as some last minute things that had to be.

It’s official, we are getting married on 9 December 2006! It all started with a humours discussion about eloping while in Europe. My suggestion of hiring some hot Swedish blondes as brides maids and having the wedding in their native country was vetoed, but then we got serious and decided that it would be really.

Its been a busy few weeks. InCite redeemed themselves and then managed to annoy me again. I don’t have the time for that fight just yet, but it’s coming, be sure of that. They admitted an error in my July account, but have not commented on numerous queries with regards to my June account. I.

Thursday was Comedy Festival. We managed to get centre front row seats for the danger zone (oh dear). Fortunately we did not get picked on too much; there were other more unfortunate souls who got that job 🙂 What we did have to endure before the show started was this terrible (c)rap set by DJ.

My Gran passed away suddenly on Sunday evening. You will be missed dearly!
