Timeless Saturday

Matthew has never been to a Timeless Board Games' Saturday and to get our minds off the stress of the University finances, I decided to take him to Matthew to his first Timeless. Matthew loves board games and was so excited to go that he was ready early. Since we did not hearing any news from 1 of the banks that we were expecting, so off we went early.

The rest of my "Geeks wif boards & card" group that I am loosely associated with only arrive after lunch, by that time Matthew and I had some fun.

Same Old #@#

Every month, my friends hold a boardgame afternoon, and since I missed the last Timeless Board Games Day of the year when I went down to Durban recently, I wasn’t about to give this one hosted by Gary and Anika even if Craig decided to wear the same old kak t-shirt.

Gary made some, stinging chilli, Mexican style as he called it plus some beer bread made on a solar oven. Thankfully Anika in her wisdom made a milder version for the likes of Matthew and I. Then it was down to some serious board games and of course killer dessert.

Does she like it gentle or rough?

Warning explicit content in today’s post!

Craig and Necia hosted a Geeks Board Games Day that their home this afternoon which kicked off with some tasty Thai chicken curry. Thank goodness they cared a little about me and didn’t spike the food with hot chillies as not to take my breath away, literary.

It was a great turnout of friends and family, from left to right is Lynda with granddaughter; Rebekah; Sheena and Jonathan with little Aiden; Craig and Necia; Jessica and Layne; siblings Brendon and Nicole; and finally Robynne with her back to the camera. Not in the photo is Gary who is somewhere, maybe he is on the Iron Throne.

During a break, while sitting in the sun, the conversation strayed into the lands of Westeros as most of us are fans, well most of us except Craig and Necia that is. And then it happened as it tends to do in groups of friends like this. It was during Layne’s man-bun episode that he turned into Euron Greyjoy as he stuck an action figure’s head up the arse of a poor stuffed giraffe. Why Euron the scallywag of Westeros, well it was Euron’s quote "Does she like it gentle, or rough?" in the GoT episode a few weeks back that caused those fateful words to come storming back to memory, “A finger in the bum?”

Anyways we all had a good time at Craig and Necia's, thank you to the hosts and even the cat called Siri enjoyed been pampered by Nicole. Those eyes just say it all!

Facebook Business Manager

Well today was on course day with our Social Media Team learning more about Facebook’s Business Manager tool. Yes it has already been out for over a year now but it was very buggy and it is still been updated as you read this.

So off we went to Blue Magnet for the Facebook Business Manager half day course and now thanks to Jessica our lecturer, we now will be using this tool to manage all our uhmm 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, yes 9 Facebook Business pages.

All Grown Up

Oh what a surprise, there I was on my phone checking social before church, and who pops up in my space? David, yes you heard correctly David, my old friend from over five years ago with his entire family.

I last saw David and Kate in February last year and the two girls Jessica and Julia way back in 2009. Okay I can’t call them girls anymore because they have all grown up now.

Squint

I want to wish a big double happy birthday to the twins Saskia and Pauline. I made it my mission to take a photograph of the twins today but Pauline ducked early so Jessica had to fill in for her, well forget the age difference, Jessica also has red hair like Pauline and that would do for me.

I Choose

All around life seems a struggle and at times hopeless. I tried to put aside my pride and say sorry but I get attacked and hurt. Do I keep trying? The answer is yes. If we don’t trust when times are tough, we don’t trust at all. I know that I have little or no choice about success, circumstances or even happiness; but I choose to be cheerful. Staying on the theme of joy in all circumstances here are some friends from BBC: Kate and David with Kate’s two daughters Julia and Jessica.

Pretty in Pink

The twins Haddasha and Jessica came around to spend some time on the trampoline. See how they watch Maxy carefully not too sure if he is at a safe distance away.
