Feeling a tad down today

By
Well, once again I am left writing something that I would really rather not publish at this point, you see, we are still not telling people that we might be moving to Sydney Oz permanently in February 2012.
Gerhard and I skipped date night last week and went on date afternoon yesterday, we went to see Prime Circle in the Menlyn Barnyard Theatre.  Once again I am dumbstruck by the bands we have in South Africa.  Proudly South African!  Man oh man, these guys really know how to rock, it was amazing.  Prime Circle must be one of the best rock bands out there.
Why am I sad, well again, it is as if we are already saying our goodbyes, Prime Circle, Offbeat Broadway 4, Stuur Groete, the Parlotones, I am drenching in as much South African arts and entertainment as date nights will allow.  I am already contemplating Thursday’s date, we usually alternate between dinner out, movies and theatre and shows.  Well, I really only feel like the latter two at present.
The thing is again, in SA I know that the guys from Prime Circle and Parlotones rock, literally.  When we arrive in Oz we will have no frame of reference, I have no idea who the Ozzie version of my favourite SA bands / entertainers / plays are.
Anyhow, just thought I would share my mood today without actually sharing it if you know what I mean.  Julius, Jacob... go to hell, I hate you all for making me leave this place.   Although, the lyrics of a Prime Circle song comes to mind when I read all about our women and gay hating future judge president “Get me out of this place”...

I had a stunning Louis Vuiton Bag

By
I love handbags, I am crazy about them, I would forgo food for a good handbag.  Everybody has a 'thing' and mine simply happens to be handbags.  Big ones, small ones, madly expensive ones and el cheapos that you get at the flea market, grey ones hand crafted by old ladies at the old age home, shiny metally ones.  I love handbags. Well guess what?  No, not that Guess, not as in the handbag...I now have a diaper bag.  A red one, and it needs to double as my handbag.  There is just no way in hell that I can manage a two (almost three!) year old, a two week old, a diaper bag and a handbag, something had to give and in this case, it was my poor almost new chunky Louis Vuiton bag.  I miss it already... The thing is, when you have a baby, some things are just not meant to be. At least this time around, I have managed to paint my nails (all of them, fingers and toes) twice, and I have worn make up on at least four separate occasions.  With Liam a...

Liam and growing up

By
It struck me about five minutes ago how fast Liam has grown up since I fell pregnant with Luka.  Let me use an example, Gerhard had to leave the house really early this morning to go and play golf.  Liam is still a bit phlegmy, so he is still nebulised morning and evening - Gerhard's job.  Refer to previous posts about pregnancy paranoia and you will clearly understand that there is just no way in hell that I can nebulise Liam. So this morning the two of us eat our breakfast and then its time to nebulize, and I tell Liam he will just have to do this on his own, poor thing.  So there is my two year old boy sitting on the couch nebulising himself, my heart actually broke into pieces. He also got his very first set of golf clubs yesterday, not the plastic variety but mini golf clubs in a proper bag.  He is just so chuffed with himself!  He actually called his Oupa Hansie yesterday to show him his golf clubs (over the phone yes).  He could not con...

On the eve of my first protest

By
It is the eve of my first ever protest about anything really.  I am a little scared, a little excited, a little apprehensive but extremely motivated.  For those not following South African politics, our President last week fired our honest Minister of Finance and the South African economy took a tumble and we were downgraded to junk status by ratings agencies. Economic and political uncertainty ensued all because of one man’s greed and corruption.  Junk status has dire implications for our country and as always the people who will be most affected are the poorest of the poor.  Interest rates will rise, so will inflation and food prices, jobs will be lost, the list of horrible things goes on. Ordinary South Africans have now had enough and for the first time ever people from all walks of life are united behind a common cause, to save South Africa.  I have never in my 40 years on this earth been moved by any cause, not enough to actually take...
