Have to get back to moving shite. I know it is for a positive reason but its no fun. It rained yesterday and was cold-so trotting back and forth with boxes was miserable! Just trying to stay positive and set my mind on when we'll be settled in our cosy new flat. expat xxxEx - hope your move is going well. And hope your internet connection is done quickly.

Jackie, your daughter was just as cute then as she is pretty now. Hope she's feeling better.

I asked a couple of days ago where Spuddles is and now I see she's posting on another thread. Does that mean she won't be hanging out with us in the barracks? I miss her...:upset: We all do. Spuds, where are you???

Hellooooooooooo, everybody

No wonder my ears were ringing - you've been talking about me :H

I am tired. No: make utterly ex-fecking-hausted. But happy

Just imagine: I went an entire weekend without swearing! Woohoo!!! Thank feck that load of wanky bollocks is behind me and I can say the feck what I bloody well want to!

It was great fun, though. I didn't end up taking as many pics as I wanted - we were too busy and half the time I didn't want to lug that along as well, but I'll upload a few to PB (prolly only tomorrow - couldn't be arsed right now). Got a few nice ones from our visit to the tidal pools and dunes, though. That outing was more leisurely. I hope the whale pics will show something. Bloody difficult to get the timing right when they breach. Saw a few dolphins, too.

Inland, where we camped next to a vlei (wetland) there was lots of aquatic and other birdlife. We also saw game: Eland, hartbok, baboons (who raided the boys' tents), ostrich (the camp has a tame one too), kwagga (a bit like zebra, but you only find this species in the area we visited) and some other smaller species I can't remember.

The bunch of kids were quite incredible, actually. Apart from a grumpy Belgian tourist who had to get up at 5.00 on Saturday to resume his trek (on a bicycle tour) and complained that the boys were noisy at 8.30 p.m., no one had problems with them (even me - I am noise-averse).

South African kids from small towns like ours are very different from the teenagers who hail from cities and large towns. Much more respectful, and what their teacher or the parents said was listened to. There were no cellphones or other electronic equipment, so it was peacful to boot. No mobile signal in any event.

To make a long story short: a good time was had.

Hi Everyone!

Tips Im glad you had a good time, all that game sounds wonderful I would love to see a baboon in the wild but I guess you tiggers are used to that kind of thing...

A very quiet army today, I hope everyone is having a fantastically chilled out Sunday.
I have been on a 45km cycle and intend to put my feet up, watch some crap tv and eat

Good afternoon Army ...........

I have had a great weekend with my inlaws, its was my Father in Laws 60th birthday friday and his wife organised a suprise party for him, we live 5 hours away so we don't see them very often, it was soooo lovely to see his face when he walked through the door ......... and is was GREAT to stay sober and watch everyone getting stupid, my sister in law used to be my drinking partner at family do's and she couldn't believe that I wasn't drinking, she even bought me a drink and put it down in front of me and after I had refused it 3 times she knocked it back in one!!!! Just watching her get more and more drunk made me cringe!!

It was really sad as we left today though, FIL was diagnosed with early onset dementia last year and as he hugged us when we leaving he cried, and said that he hopes he will remember us when we see him next, that had me and Kerrie in floods of tears, and Mr Boop very sad :upset::upset:

Tips, your weekend sounds amazing, Chill after a 45k bike ride you deserve to put your feet up and eat crap!!!

Glad you're home safe and sound, Tips and had a blast with the kids. And you even saw an ostrich. Was it our very own Deebee

So sorry about your FIL, Betty me darling, blooming awful disease. Way to go on handling your SIL.

I was talking to and old drinking buddy last night and told her I'd given up drinking and rather than ask me a mound of questions she just said 'Good for you'. Unfortunately I'm going to her Mum's funeral on Thursday (hence the chat) but we're going to plan a lot more coffee dates as I've been avoiding her in case she wanted a boozy night out.
