Monday, Cars Cost Money.

Hi All

Just got back from a trip to Volksrust, went to pick up a part for the X-trail. Its amazing how expensive parts for cars have gotten lately. Give your a idea, 2 small parts , all plastic, 1 for Davida's car and 1 for mine, R7000,00. Makes me sick, but what can we do, we need wheels.

Eric Wright, a good Mate of mine was inducted into Round Table last Tuesday and I had a real nice chirp from him, he said that he read my blog only on Monday's and that it gave him a good start to his week. For that I Thank You Mr. Wright and may you enjoy your many years in Round Table.

The start of this week is looking good, Malcolm is busy installing air-cons in my office. It means that hopefully mine and Nadia's brain will last a little longer during the day.

I am off to Pretoria on Wednesday, will stay overnight with my sister-in-law, Nicky and will attend a day course on Thursday for a new software programme for the computer.

As you know I am not the greatest computer geek, but I manage.

Rhys' concert photo's came out pretty cool so will add a few for you to have a look at. Rhys and I spent most of the weekend in the pool, tanning and getting out occasionally to get some food and drink.

Summer is great for those light lunches so I am going to leave you with a lovely Chicken Salad Recipe.

Have A Good One.

Hi All

Sorry that I have been away so long but have been busy with my course and the exam in Bloem.

It was an interesting course thanks to the lecturers. I do not think all who attended will pass but I should have got at least 110% because I corrected the spelling mistakes and such for the lecturers on the paper. 13 mistakes in all.

I hope they appreciate what I did for them and give me a bit more credit.

Anyway just a short note, will let you have a some more juicy stories and recipes during the week.

I also had a nice phone call from my ex brother-in-law, Willem Prinsloo, today. Good to hear from him again. Maybe the start of a lost friendship again, who knows?

Well till we blog again.

Have A Good One.
