Denzil & Nathi

Denzil & Nathi, also at Bulldogs, Rosebank (The Zone), just after I had gotten myself a wee haircut at around 7pm on a Sunday ! Jozi is cool !

Rieyaardt & Nicole

At Bulldogs, The Zone, Rosebank - It was great to finally meet Nicole, the flame of Rieyaardt's life for all these years. She is bubbly, and warm and very friendly - I hope they decide to make that eternal committment, and that we keep in touch...

Magic Nationals 2005 and more

Magic Nationals 05 happened a coupla weekends ago, and it was a chance for the brothas to meet up in Jozi for a bit of card shuffling again.

I managed a mediocre performance (again ?), with kleinboet not getting a sniff in, on account of his not qualifying !

What was great was seeing Dr Zee, who is well pregnant and verry excited about it too ! We joined Steve & Zee and Fiona & hubby at the Flamingo restaurant in a "less-salubrious" part of town, for a lovely informal dinner and catch-up session.

We also met up with Rieyaardt & Nicole, and Denzil & Nathi, who is also preggers (!) Estimations put it at about 10 years since we last saw these folk, and I am keen to not let another 10 go by without keeping in touch - they have grown into fine young men, and it would be awesome to continue our relationships.


Dillo and Shawn have cottoned-on to jujitsu, and are contesting the SA Open soon - seems like fun.....

Last month, I attended the Burnwood Secondary School Reunion - promises to be an annual event, and served to give TC & I a good hook into the networks required to set up our 20-year Matric class reunion next year (can anyone believe it's been TWENTY years ?!)

Young Adam has been walking for about 3 weeks now, and has started experimenting with running already ! He is now quite steady on his feet, having been cautiously testing this walking thing for a while now, and has loads of fun chasing his bigboet....He's still quite restless at night, but the days are quite nice now.
He is very comfy at creche, and has become an eating machine !
