It's amazing how you take things for granted until they are taken away from you ... like the simple flick of a switch and you have ELECTRICITY !!!
Yup! you've guessed it ... it's Power Failing Season again !!!
Started last Wednesday but I didn't mention it cos we thought it was a one off !!! Then it hit (or didn't) again over the weekend (heavy winds can do that) and then again last night the power went out around 7pm, started up again for 10mins around 10pm and then didn't re-appear until 8.30am this morning ... hung around till 9.30am and it was off again till 2pm ... Now how the hell am I supposed to write a blog, download photos etc... with all this switching on and switching off??? And it's been bloody cold too...
But if you're on Facebook you can pop over there and see the batch of photos I did manage to download of Kelsey's Hockey Tournament yesterday ... it was soooo spooky, the mist kept rolling in around the players ... good job some of them had day-glo vests on otherwise we would'nt have been able to spot them (PMSL). They played really well and the final ended with Hillcrest 1 vs Hillcrest 2 ... with HPS 2 winning ... I have to say though the girls play a meaner game of hockey than the boys ... seems the boys are a little scared of those sticks (lol) ... ;-}
Tonight I am childless again - my boy has been invited to a girls party !!! including a sleepover !!! (MMmmMM was a bit suspicious of that one but apparently it's all above board - spoke to the parents ... they have a smallholding up in the hills ... a couple of huge tents - one for boys and one for girls, they have a huge fire, tell ghost stories and generally have a good time... I made sure he had long jogging pants!!! and a sleeping bag !!! cos it's bloody freezing tonight (I mean for us 12c is cold!!! Glad I'm not in no tent!!!) Will tell more later if there is more to tell...
Right gonna be sulking a bit tomorrow - Guys remember to join Sharon at Bolsover for the Saturday Craft Club if you have some spare time ... the usual gang should all be there from 10am (well I hope you are, I don't want to be feeling jealous for nothing!)... for the rest of the dates for the meetings check previous posts or drop me an e-mail and I'll forward the dates to you... (or I'll dig out Sharon's e-mail and post them again) Paul says he'll pop in for the usual cuppa and chockie biscuits !!! (Funny they did'nt have those when I was there ... or was I just too excited crafting to notice?ha! ha!)
Now, my whacky sister-in-law, Penny has persuaded me (for my sins) to join her at Shongweni Farmers Market tomorrow morning !!!! We have to be set up by 6am - are you stark raving mad woman???? I really hope I have some more exciting news about that tomorrow, lmao!!! I know I'm gonna freeze my ass off ... supposed to be another cloudy mild one tomorrow...)
Good luck the Boks for the game tomorrow morning against The All Blacks ... we gotta win this one boys (pleeeease) That'll give us the Tri-Nations Cup to bring home !!!! Something else for me to rave about !!!
So I'm off to ma bed ... hot water bottle an all!!! Alarm set for 4.30am (I really need my head read!!! Last time I was up that early was for a Rugby Match.... has to be something foreign in the air here or something !!!! :-D)
