Love from

Long Weekend!

Saturday was the 12th in the series of 5-Past Club Lunches and it was the first where guests were invited. Ray and Rosie cracked the nod, joining Brian, Louise,William, Gary, Stuart and Liz Liz and I at home. The menu will be put up here soon and needless to say, all the food was excellent although I lost a star for not have the right vegetables served with our spiced pork!

Sunday we went to Mozambique - the restaurant, not the Country - we will return. Recommended to to anyone who has eaten on Mozambique and hankers after authentic flavours. Calamari Chorizo and green olives in a buttery sauce! Fish between the sheets! (the sheets being cheese)

Pleasant weekend :-) Cleaning up 2 litres of oil spilt on the garage floor! Finally used sand to absorb it and then swept it up. Sunday at Margrit and David - lovely day and good food, nice people. Busy week ahead as we prepare for the overseas trip on the 12th June and then the Kruger Park as soon as we get back from Europe.....

These are pictures I was looking for - and refered to in yesterdays Blog.

First vist to Spice on Forida - excellent food shared with two of my oldest friends. Andrew and Aidan are amazing and so vibrant and alive. One of the best meals I have ever had in a restaurant in Durban - or even KZN. Liz loved it too - we will return. Of course everyone knows that the two Bills (Microsoft and POTUS) dined there on their recent visit to Durban. The food and service were faultless and the ambiance just right. Saw Alexis, who I have known since mid 1960s. He has not changed........ delightful.

The pictures above are not the ones I had in mind to upload but I will need to search a bit more for them. Thanks for your company A&A - Love and Light........

Just In case you don't know who we are!!l

Wow! Breakthrough on the web site design. Stunning day with friends - story of Raymond's life........... Home team lost............

Spent most the day getting to grips with Nvu ( Web design tool) and worked on the Yoga Asana select tool ( going to be great) .... making good progress, and I may deliver final assignment electronically!

Went to Ray for the Super 14 final in Durban. Sharks vs Bulls. Bulls stole the game and Championship in the last minute. - which was 2 minutes after the time the final whistle should have been blown! However............ IF the Sharks could have just kicked the ball out, and they made at least 3 attempts , then we would have won!

Wonderful snacks and seafood pasta dinner by Rosie. Lucky attendees were; Gary and Stuart, P&L, Earnie, John and Sharlene and StJohn and Camilla.

Left before midnight and G&S staying over...........

Went to Pizza Pasta with ray and Rosie and David and Margrit Wednesday evening after doing some PC clean up work on Ray's and Margrit's PCs.

I had a great swordfish and Calamari combo and Liz had a pizza - for a change.... Great evening fisished off with an expresso and an Amereto....

Taking Mother to the mall Thursday AM.......... nuf said........

Sunday

A quiet Sunday - for a change! messed with the PC. Dis some shopping for vegetables, as I had the urge to make a huge veg curry! I made up 20 portions of good veg curry with at least 8 veg, lentils black eyed and other beans. Not sure what we will do with it all but I guess pat will be getting some when we go to Europe in June.

Watched "Lord of war" with Nicholas Cage last night. Violent but thought provoking. In the same vein as "Blood Diamonds" with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Busy schedule for Monday - Yoga Club, Negotiation with manor, Review Club Kitchens plan, Committee meeting. Thank goodness I don't work any more!

Another tough evening in Africa! Gary, Stuart Liz and I had to endure 2 rugby matches which the home teams won.... followed by a really outstanding meal prepared by Rosie - after all the snacks prepared by Ray.

Wonderful weather, warm, still, dogs in good humour - Ian Turton, Sally and Chris turned up after the rugby - said they had walked home - probably walked from the taxi! Great to see them again.

G & S stayed over - gone when I got up at 7.30. They enjoy an early start.

Liz and Peter - Welcome to my first BLOG. It is probably not too interesting to anyone other than us. We just want to get to understand how the Google logger works!

This is getting trickey - or am I just slow - too slow......................

So whereare we now?

Update - 11PM Friday

Blog created - seems to work - can't yet work out how to get back to it!

Day 1 May 11, 2007

Well, this will be my first attempt to create a Blog! Thaks to David Bullard, I am determined to find out more about this medium. Sitting at the mighty keyboard while Liz sleeps on the 'new' sofa, a glass of red Chateau Plonk by my side, what a great way to discover technology......... not that it s all new to me, being 40 years in the DP ( or now fashionably called ICT) industry.
