Summer news...
Whoever still calls England "mud island" should visit Anglia (or possibly other areas of England!). It is hot hot hot! And there has been little to NO proper rain for weeks. My poor lawn is cracking, as are my flower beds and my poor plants are looking all shrivelled and dry (despite my giving them water!).
But despite the heat and lack of rain, I have managed to enjoy some of the summer so far. Last weekend I was kindly invited to a braai at the Darwin Rowing club... I can call it a braai as there was WORS!. Joy of joys, wors.... oh how I have missed seeing you. And the chap who had bought the wors along was kind enough to let me have some. Oh more joy of joys!!! He was also kind enough to tell me where he got it from, and I now know of a local SA shop! Elusive little place but oh so welcome to be on my list of shops. After the braai, my friends and I spent the evening watching movies - Valiant and Broke-Back Mountain. I enjoyed both, but much preferred Valiant. Found BBM a bit slow, despite the good acting. Oh well. Last Sunday was a day spent with friends shopping and visiting a farm yard place. All very nice and a lot of fun. Thanks guys for a brilliant weekend.
This past week has been filled with ups and downs. Downs include being not so well so haven't been eating too well. Friend left work too, so was sad to say cheerio to him. My sliding door lock packed in on me and wouldn't lock, so had to spend money on getting a locksmith out because I couldn't solve the problem. Argh. My camera isn't working for some obscure reason. Oh and believe it or not my wisdom tooth has been acting up again and I have been in mild pain for the weekend. Stupidly last night I decided to BASH my jaw (tender area) while cleaning my teeth and then I was in AGONY! Why can't I be normal for once with regards wisdom teeth etc... come on I am in my 30s I should have had my wisdom teeth erupted and out by now!!! Anyway, the UPs include: my feeling better (healthwise); my sliding door lock is working again; my friend is coming back soon for a short time so hopefully I will see him again, so it wasn't a GOODBYE but rather a SEE YOU LATER. My tooth isn't too sore today (so far) so hopefully it will stop erupting and hopefully my dentist will be able to see me and organise for this tooth to be removed (yikes... never had problem with my teeth before so this is going to be scary!). Last week ended on a high with our annual BBQ (no wors) at work which was a great evening out (despite not feeling well). I found the SA shop so managed to buy and cook wors and some Zoo biscuits for my work friends to try. Considering I haven't eaten these things for years I am dubious as to how they taste these days. Oh well. And the last of my ups include the fact that my sweetpeas have started to flower... yay!
And on that happy note I best get on with work....
PS: I haven't forgotten about the rest of my Gran Canaria holiday, I just haven't had the will power or a decent computer to work on, but hopefully soon I will finish with this 'interlude' and I will continue with my holiday stories. Until next time!
