Jessica Turns 1

I've never seen a 1 year old eat so many chips and sweets in one day, it was incredible. Howie had a close shave though when Jessica promptly up-chucked and managed to miss his head by a ball hair.

Here are some snaps of the party that went down on Sunday. If it wasn't for me saving the day at the last minute, that birthday cake wouldn't have had a candle on it. That's what uncles are for....

Super 14 Final - Sharks vs Bulls

There's no point harping on about it, they won, we lost - here's some pictures from the day.....

My New Pride and Joy

I did something a little crazy last week. What we have here is one times Ford Phantom and my newly purchased Yamaha YZ125. The girls will appreciate that all the colours match here, but it's pure coincidence I can assure you. I took my new toy for a test ride last week and rode it over the road from the ballie's place into the cane fields. I think the sign at the dirt road entrance marked "Private Property" and the picture of a motor bike with a big black line through it was more of a guideline than an instruction. Although the 3 girls on horseback I passed on 2 occasions didn't look overly excited about the fact that the tranquility of their Sunday stroll was being poisoned by the wine of a very loud 2-stroke motocross bike. I'm sure they'll get over it.

Anyway, this puppy is awesome. It's got a helluva lot of power to give and at the moment I'm only pulling a fraction of what it has to offer. Either I'll successfully learn how to ride this thing or my over confidence will land me in hospital. Thankfully medical aid is coming through this week.

Sharks Make South African Rugby History

Ok, so not much of a story needed here. We all know what went down on Saturday, the Sharks convincingly booted the Blues out of the Super 14 and the Bulls helped secure an all SA Final by successfully getting rid of the Crusaders. I was there at Kings Park to witness it all and the atmosphere inside the stadium was out of this world. The only time I've been happier on a rugby day was back in '95 when we took the World Cup. I've tried to upload 2 videos from Saturday but You Tube is giving me attitude. I will keep trying and hopefully you'll be able to have some idea of what it was like being there.

Andy was there at the stadium this morning at 6am to get our 29 tickets, but they sold out when he was 30m from the ticket office. Needless to say there will be a massive braai going down this weekend, probably at Tont's house. Looking forward to every minute of it. GO SHARKS !!!!!!
Billy on anti-biotics...very responsible

Umdloti

I've been a little quiet on the blog front, so to keep you a little interested here's a few snaps from the recent days in Umdloti. For those of you overseas I'll try my best to post a few more pics of Durban in the near future.
