Michelle is working at The Wedding Expo at Sandton City today and this weekend. She is helping out Margaret Tilling who employed Michelle as a wedding consultant to work with her. Margaret will do the photograhy side of things, and Michelle will take care of the rest. Awesome if you ask me!!! And it's exactly what Michelle studied for a few years ago! God is amazing!
Well, I'm very chuffed with the new car. It's awesome to drive and SO quiet! And the leather smell from the seats is fantastic! I hope that smell stays in the car for a long long time! The only thing that hacks me off is that the car was delivered with a tow bar, but they didn't put those rubberised/plastic protective covers on it. And as far as I am concerned, that should be standard when you have a tow bar fitted. No train smash as they brought me some today and I put them on. BUT... and it's a big annoyance for me... the person who drove my car to me must have smoked in the car. I checked the cigarette lighter and it had been used. 22 kilometres on the clock and someone already smoked in MY car!!!! I phoned Barloworld and chewed them out from a dizzy height. It's common courtesy not to smoke in a BRAND NEW car that you are delivering to someone who may or may not smoke. You can't smell smoke in the car, but it's the principle of the matter. Humph!

My car arrived today. It's the same as in the picture, except mine is a deep metallic blue. I'm WAYYY chuffed! ;o)

The trip to Sabie was incredible. We took our time getting there and has a nice leisurely ride through Barbeton, Nelspruit, White River and then onto Hazyview and then finally Sabie. The road between Hazyview and Sabie is reknowned to be a great biking road!!! Corner after corner of twisty mountain passes... Awesome stuff. I took it fairly easy, but Michelle on the back still got scared. I really have to remember that she's not so used to biking as I am.

We spent the weekend exploring the area and eating pancakes! What more can I guy ask for! We stayed at Jock's in the centre of town and it was really nice.

We did go find a waterfall nearby and ended up riding on a dirt road for a while... with my superbike!! Ouch! So I was not too impressed. My bike is definitely designed STRICTLY for tar. Heh heh
The trip to Sabie was great.. more about that later...

I watched Black Hawk Down on the weekend, and it was a great movie! A little gory, but I guess that made it all the more true to real life. I found this interesting article on the net too. At first I thought it was an April Fool's day joke, but I guess it wasn't!

Well, this past weekend was a blur. I bought and fitted a new chain on my motorbike. Flippen R1600 later! Grief! Anyways, it was long overdue and now the bike is ready for the trip to Sabie in Eastern Transvaal this weekend coming. It's a long weekend and we're leaving Friday morning. We'll spend the weekend just riding around, enjoying some of God's greatest sceneries, and then come back on Sunday. There are 2 bikes going so far, and it should be great!

Pick and Pay is also having a special on music and DVD's... BAD IDEA!!! We were hooked and ended up blowing almost a grand an DVDs. DOH! Oh well, such is life. The credit card can handle it for now.

Back at work again... *sigh* What a drag. It's really tough having a 2 week break at the sea, and then coming back to work and going straight onto a course and only THEN having to come to work... My brain was taking strain today! And no comments from the peanut gallery okay?

And another thing that sucks.... South Africa are out of the Cricket World Cup because we tied with Sri-Lanka in our last game... We needed ONE MORE RUN, and Boucher thought that we already had won, so he just blocked the last ball instead of hitting it anywhere and getting the single... So we're out. Game over. Check please. That's all she wrote. The fat lady has sung. I could go on, but I'm getting more bored with this than you guys are!!! ;o)
