    Army Thread Saturday 3rd November

    Goooooooooooooood morning, Army

    It turned into quite a lekker Friday evening. Because the weather was nice and warm and the pool has heated up nicely, Mrs. T and the eldest cub volunteered to do pool duty (lots of leaves and dust after all the wind we had) and ended up having a swim. Next thing we knew, Mum appeared in a t-shirt she borrowed from youngest cub and a sedate black panty, and in she went. It was her 1st swim in longer than she can remember. She had another computer / email lesson later. This time she progressed to at least three paragraphs in each of the two emails she wrote :H:H:H. Ordered pizza to be delivered and fast asleep by 9.30

    The garden is taking shape nicely. I need to go and buy a few things for the gardener to make it a bit easier for him. His name is Brighton and he's from Zimbabwe. Quite a sad story, really. He came to South Africa when their economy collapsed a few years back, only to find that unemployment in our country is rife too. He has a wife and 2 kids that he needs to look after. It's a similar situation for our housekeeper - she's also from Zim with two kids, but sans husband. She has full-time work between us and another family, though. I know it sounds very colonial, but keep in mind it's a common setup in Saffaland.

    Mrs. T and the other wimminfolk are off to a local mall this morning. It'll leave the eldest cub and I with the run of the house. Yay! We can fart and burp without getting dirty looks

    Off to water the garden before things start heating up. It's true what they say: spring is always two months late in Cape Town.
    I'll do whatever it takes

          The 2nd coffee has turned into a 3rd by now... I did do some watering in between, though. I just wish the mist would lift so that it can warm up. The weather forecasters had it all wrong, it seems.

            I will check out the link in a while as the dogs are doing piddle dance here (think Michael Flatley with 4 paws) No idea what the weather holds as it is still dark but with an almost full moon. I have bought some roses so hope to get those in today.

              Morning Tipps and all to come. What a lovely friday evening you had. Well its winter here and cold. Yesterday i didn't do much apart from a trip to friggin Tesco ran out of milk and needed cat litter oh and got a bag of mint humbugs which i eat too much of lately. Something had to take place of the wine so winegums are another lil treat. Good to hear your garden is taking shape and its employment for people who need it. It cud be a help to them to settle and move on when better things come up and to educate their children. You and mrs T are great employers i'm sure and fair. 2nd coffee already as i'm awake since 5am. Let the cats out and they will be back for brekkie soon. Have a super sober saturday folks whatever your plans and enjoy your saturday morning slobbing and farting tipps.:H.:cat::cupajoe:

                  Morning Tibs and Tabbs and a'body else who wakes up with the sun. The only saving grace about early mornings with no sunlight is that the birds get up at this time also.

                  Coffee.

                  Ahhhhh..... that's better. Plans for the weekend folks? Gotta work today (teaching drama to sprogs, not that sprogs need to be taught drama, they're quite good at making mountains out of molehills).

                          I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.
