The cow watched the Bokke.......

Me and the bull left Saturday morning early to join up with the rest of the people in Parktown.We got on to the bus at about 11h00 and went to Chaf Pozi in Orlando Soweto for lunch and entertainment.The invite should rather have read lunch and lots of booze.

Chaf Pozi is where we went.
 "Chaf Pozi (which means “our secret place”), is an upmarket Shebeen-style restaurant nestled at the foot of the iconic Orlando Towers in Soweto. Diners can select their own meat and spices from the restaurant’s “butchery” and watch it sizzle on an open braai while enjoying a drink on the veranda. Dishes include all the traditional favourites such as boerewors, braai chicken and lamp chops, served with chakalaka, pap and sauce."

Here is a pick of one of the towers that I took:

We had great food and great fun.We left for the FNB Stadium to go watch the mach at about 15h00.The bus dropped us of right infront of the stadium.What a place.It was my first time visiting the stadium and it was awesome.

The atmosphere was just as awesome.90 000 people.The most people at a Boks game in South Africa ever.We had our flags and we sang our national anthem with pride.AND THEN WE LOST THE GAME IN THE LAST 4MINUTES.

But still it was a stunning day.We ate, we drank and me and the Bull got to spend the day on our own.Thanks to my dear friends that babysat for us.I love you guys.

A calf his brother and a bookcase

Tuesday afternoon I got a phone call from the school that a bookcase fell on Johan's leg.There is some swelling but he seems fine.So I rush to the school as soon as I can.His ankle was blue and badly swollen.

After phoning the doctors office and being told there is no appointments available but I can come in and wait I go there.Waiting an hour the Bull arrived and we decided to rush to casualties.Good thing we did.
An x-ray revealed that Johan had broken his -tibula and fibula just above the ankle as well as his fibula just below the knee.Course of action: He will be admitted and they have to wait for the swelling before taking him to theater to manipulate the leg and fit a cast.

We slept in hospital and the doctor send us home Wednesday morning.We had to be back on Friday to go to theater.I laughed so much at Johan.The premeds they gave him before going to theater worked really well.As the nurse wheeled him out to go to theater he let out a big Yea ha...

At least all went well.He has a blue cast on his leg and at home.There is a little bit of pain but he loves all the attention.

How this happened is another story.His brother and a friend was arguing over a toy that was on the bookcase.This caused some pulling and shoving causing the bookcase to topple and fall on the innocent party.His brothers reply: I screamed at him watch out but he did not hear me.

The joy of being a cow with calves.....

12 Years in the barn

So last weekend we had our wedding anniversary.Twelve years can you beleive it.Has it really been this long?

It's strange but I try to remember what it was like back then and remember being able to :
1. Sleep in
2. Not get up at all and spend the day in bed
3. Just pack up and go somewhere without having to arrange a babysitter.
4. Fitting into a size 12 pants (He he)
5. Having perky boobs( Boy do I miss those)

But in the end I have to say I do love the Bull even more now then I did then.
He is my everything.My buddy,my lover,my phycologist and my soulmate.......
