JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

2011.............SIXTY FIVE WEEKS & COUNTING

So how was your Crimble & New Year hmmm? I hope y'all had a good time - including those who ate too much & drank to excess to the extent that you woke up in strange places & possibly incriminating circumstances - huzzah!
My own Crimble was very quiet, altho' I confess, I drank more alcohol this 'festive' period than I have done over the last 10yrs. On Crimble Day, I thought I'd live dangerously & ordered a pina colada from the hotel bar............only to be told "eish meddem, sorry but we don't have any pineapple juice". Instead I had a shot of Malibu in a glass of milk & it was fuckin' 'orrible, but I drank it. I dunno if it was the heat & humidity, but my poor ol' kidney pipes were taking strain, so every night, I was downing 2 cans of beer - made into a long shandy I might add - but I'm telling you, anymore than 2 beers & I would've been anybodys.............................needless to say, after 4 days, my pipes were clear :-)

Here follows a few of my favourite photos taken during our rides out & the latter part of the hols spent in the Kruger National Park.


T2 - taken on the way up Long Tom Pass, not far from Sabie.


Gods Window near Graskop - the clouds just didn't want to clear *sigh*


The Pinnacle - just past Gods Window

T2 at the top of the road out of Barberton, heading to Piggs Peak, Swaziland.

One Man & Our Bike...................hell yeah!!

Day spa for ellies, near Letaba, KNP

Naughty minkeys, Skukuza, KNP

Balancing rocks..............somewhere between Olifants & Letaba (I think)

Potential handbag/pair of boots/Harley seat - dirt road just out of Olifants camp.

Elephant grabbing a quick shower.


I haven't made any resolutions for this year, mainly 'cos I can't be arsed & I rarely stick to 'em anyway. I think the main thing is I'll continue this year much the same as I did the last year & that's counting the weeks until we get the hell out of this miserable friggin' town. We have A PLAN *ahem*, which in itself is taking quite a bit of planning. There are some 65 weeks & 4 days to go before The Plan comes into effect - but who's counting? The only delay to The Plan coming into effect will be ill health or Hubs being offered a job that's too good to refuse (we can only hope!).
Right, I'm off to lissen to the Jamey Johnson CD that the kids organised me for Crimble.................my kinda music :-)
