Arf!

This is Roxy.
She is excellent.

Short break in holiday news to say:

Tomorrow morning I become The Man Would Be Thog. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0051.html.
To do: make a dog blog.

Joburg Trip

Parfles and I went to Jozi / Jo’burg / JHB / Joey’s / John H Burgers last week for a two day wedding of our lovely neighbours.
Sort of conveniently, Jo had a meeting on Friday morning and another on Monday morning, so we decided to make a weekend of it.
Unfortunately, this did mean getting up [...]

Back, but not from Outer Space

Just arrived back from a weekend in and around Jo’burg.
Details and pics and things to follow; just a quick observation for now.
I think this flight was the first time I’ve ever flown somewhere on my own.
(Parfles is in JHB for the rest of the day for a beeg meeting.
As she was dropping me off, she [...]

Manic Meneer

(have been talking about videogames a lot the past few days, especially those of retro styling. This made me think of Jet Set Willy. I wonder what other 80s games make for NSFW search terms…?)
Last Friday I finished the biggest chunk of my biggest project on the go at the moment. I’m now waiting for [...]

Pig on a spit

A quick few shots from the epic pig fest… NSFV.
Jeremy, pig-wrangler and all round awesome guy.

Gratuitous Hobbit shot:

Eckhard out of his tree (ahem):

Huddling around the piggy:

The hordes descend…

Unexpected coolness – again!

I have to say that African Agenda certainly know how to throw a party.
The Sunday picnic thing was great, but last night’s Gala dinner (at which I reprised my role as “Accompanying Person”1 to Jo’s Official Delegate) at the Castle of Good Hope was awesome. Epic, even.
Being a bit of a photo geek I took [...]

It’s all a blur

Saturday saw Casa Us hosting Jo’s birthday party.
It was awesome.
There were many, many, people (50ish, including 10 younglings), and lots of them spent lots of time in the pool.
It was awesome.
Presented below are a few blurry, incoherent, but happy-inducing photos.

No Bunny, honey.

Hello.
Yesterday evening, me, Jo, Jim and Julie had a plan to go to The Quarter, touted as a gourmet Bunny Chow joint.
Excited, we were. (Interesting, but now essentially useless restaurant info at Rossouw’s, 24, Relax with Dax)
Alas, upon parking on Long Street (thanks, Jimbob for driving!), we saw that the place was closed.
As in not [...]
