Good morning, Army

Unbelievable, I'm the 1st one up today. Having a cup of coffee in the lounge whilst looking out over the estuary.

I must say, as beautiful as it is here, I can't wait to go home today. My brother and I have very little in common other than our genes. While we were outside having a braai last night, he again asked me "how is it going with your drinking?" I simply told him that I don't drink. When the fuck will he get over it and stop trying to put people into his neat little categorisations.

The poxfecker has just woken up as well and is sitting close by while I'm gossiping about him :H:H:H

Anyhoo... moving along swiftly! We were invited to have lunch with good friends of ours who happen to be renting a house in the same little town. This is the view from their lounge:

They have a bulldog called Shakespeare, who stole Mrs. T's heart:

After we had finally eaten (our host had allowed the the fire to burn out twice, because we were nattering away so much) we returned home and I relaxed a bit on the back patio for a while. There was a little fire going so that we could cook the fish as a snack before our dinner later.

The sunset from our bedroom window was stunning. This picture doesn't quite do it justice.

There are some really nice houses here, but they cost a small fortune. This is the view as you approach and enter the harbour:

Zennie! I just remembered you wanted to see pictures of the interior of the house we're staying in. I quickly took these before my SIL gets up. She looked at me in a very odd way when I wanted to take pictures before :H

He weighs 50kg Starts, but is one huge bundle of love.

His owners are really great. They were originally friends of Mrs. T's - from way back before she met me. They brought their African Gray parrot and dachshund on holiday with them as well. They've been coming to this area for over 16 years. We had such good laughs yesterday - many of them at the expense of my brother and SIL :H:H:H

At least you have decent people to have a good time with
Wonder if your bro realises that he is not terribly popular?

He isn't very self-aware, I'm afraid. But I suspect he has an inkling :H

We had a cat with a sado-masochistic streak. He used to love being patted vigorously on his back - tail standing on end and almost salivating...
