This weekend was one filled with fun and laughter, for me it was a taste of how my life will beTo Change one's life, start immediately, do it flamboyantly, No exceptions and No excuses ..................
in the not too distant future, when I can finally put the past behind me and move on to the kind of life we had this weekend..........
It started on Friday when after going out for supper we ended up at a friends house to watch the soccer.......... everyone is soccer mad here at the moment , and although I am still unable to see the fascination of watching 22 men, no matter how good looking chasing a tiny little ball around a pitch and getting paid for it... is still beyond my comprehension.............. But I watched an entire game, Ghana verses Uraguay..... and if 90 minutes was not enough punishment the game went into over time and then into penalties......... and then I was enough and never want to subject myself to such cruelty ever again................ I mean all they do is hug one another every time something good happens, they swear when things don't go their way, and my personal favorite......... the spitting???
On Saturday I was up bright and early, and was brave enough to change my hair colour.... someone once said a change is as good as a holiday......... and as holidays are still some months away it was the change I decided on.................. and then it was SHOPPING, now I am not a shopper by nature, but put 8 of us together, and let us loose in the Oriental Bazaar........ where you can trade for anything, and three hours flew past like minutes............ although I think my bank balance would disagree somewhat .............
We had lunch in an Indian restaurant called The Purple Peacock Curry Den, the place was amazing it was almost in an alley way, with wrought iron along the walkway, the people were certainly not the friendliest I have ever been served by........ and we were "told" off because we had forgot to order one cold drink and they had to go back for it?? I am afraid that the place did not instill me with confidence about its hygiene and so I went with a really Indian dish "Toasted cheese and tomato" Although I did buy some cheese and onion samoosas on the way out which were very good.
Then off to the movies, and we agreed we would watch the next movie that we could get in to, it was a South African movie called Shucks Shabalala.......... which was a pity because Eclipse was showing and I am just dying to see that....... It was good very slap stick, full of pranks on people... and long enough for me to eat the required amount of popcorn, which if the truth be told is the only reason I go to the movies there is nothing like movie house popcorn....... I love to spice it with sour cream which makes me cough....... so i normally spend most of the movie coughing....... but wouldn't change my spice for the world.
Then on Sunday we went to the most amazing tea garden for lunch. "Her Majesties Salon" the place is completely decorated in Victorian style, the toilet door handles were spoons, the chandeliers had tea cups hanging from them, the wall done out in maroon wall paper, a fire burning to keep us warm, the food was amazing the best Rooibos iced tea I have ever tasted......... company was great, what more could you ask for????
