Tuesday, May 24, 2011KRUGER PARK PHOTO QUICKIE Sunset Footprints in the sand Croc (miming "come to me!") Extremely dark giraffe (L) Ma & Bub Indecisive Waterbuck Waterbuck actually in the water - first time I've seen that! Buffalo More buffalo - the HDD* in the car ploughed into the herd. Vulture - waiting for breakfast methinks.As always, it was wonderful to get away to the Park again. The last time we went - in April - we saw a total of 17 rhino, but this time we didn't see one, so it really is the luck of the draw. A couple of interesting things; we saw a few zebra actually climbing up a huge termite mound to nibble fresh sprigs of grass & the waterbuck in the photos actually went in the water, which we've never seen before. Anyone would think they were allergic to it though, as their hooves barely touched the surface & it was so comical to watch. For whatever reason, a small herd of elephant that were hovering around a particular area were extremely aggressive. The matriach wasn't a problem, but several young bulls had a right strop & mock charged anything (including us) within a 15m radius. Something had spooked them - no idea what - and they stayed spooked for several hours. We made it back to camp with about 3mins to spare! I know it takes all sorts to make the world turn, but I just wish the idiots would stay out of places like the Kruger National Park. One particular bunch of morons took it upon themselves to sit on the grass at dusk, underneath a bat box in the camp & yell "Ja, kom, kom!" up into the soon-to-be night sky. To the best of my knowledge, a bat isn't a domesticated animal, so it's hardly going to respond to someone calling to it like an owner to his/her pet dog. The same bunch of morons took it upon themselves to crush the tranquility of the camp, by shouting out the score - at regular intervals - of a rugby match being played elsewhere in the country. Just picture it............thatched roof rondavels set out in a semi-circle........couples & families cooking the evening meal on the braai........the sound of night insects & occasional 'barking' of hippos in the river nearby............all of that peace & tranquility absolutely shattered into a million fragments by a fucking idiot, who just had to yell out rugby scores. Blue Bull** supporters shouldn't be allowed to leave the greater Pretoria region for any reason! On that happy note, I'll get myself off, to start on the 2nd instalment (bitchfest) of Africa Bike Week. (The first part is on the other blog) *HDD - Historically Disadvantaged Dipshit **Blue Bulls - A local rugby team comprising mainly of boneheads.

Tuesday, May 17, 2011JUST A QUICKIE............... I know I've got an awful lot of catching up to do, but it'll have to wait until next week! Hubs & I are off to the Kruger National Park (I know, again!) for a few days of doing sod all except watching heaps of aminals :-) Photos will no doubt follow. Be good & do it quietly while I'm away y'hear!
Thursday, May 12, 2011SO WHERE WAS I? OH YEAH..................SHIT TO A BLANKETHello possums, didja miss me? Well, things here in Schleppalale are pretty much the same, although I have managed to pull myself towards myself & snap out of the terrid black mood I was in. I'd been trying for almost 2wks to put another post up here, but fucking Blogger kept informing me I was performing an illegal action. I just thought "oh bollocks, I can't be arsed with this" & opened Another Blog. I've only put 2 posts up so far & am not sure whether to continue with it, import it into this blog or sommer delete it. I've also started writing posts for a biker website so my sludge is being kept active, just for a change! Hubs & I went down to Margate for Africa Bike Week - I'm in the process of bitching all about it on The Other Blog so drop by & check it out. At the moment Hubs has been grounded at home, thanks to our historically disadvantaged masses causing a heap of shit on site. This gives a brief explanation of what went on. I'm sick to fucking death of all the crap that's flying around at the moment. We're having municipal elections next week & from the way the political parties are slinging mud at each other, you'd think this country was 6ft under already. (I'd hazard a guess & say we're only about 4ft down, but I'm of the opinion that the ANC will only be happy when they've completely ruined the country.) Other news is that Spadge, Mummy Shans & The One & Only Chikkin are coming over for a holiday in July & I'm soooo excited! I haven't seen my baby boy & his family for almost 18mths - way too long :-(  Whilst I may not have been posting, I have been reading other blogs. Apart from taking the piss out of me about the Harleys, Wreckless has done a couple of posts just recently regarding retailers trying to rip him off. The man deserves a medal for sticking to his guns! Finally, for my wimmin reader(s?) - something that I don't know whether to complain or compliment about! I look like a bag of snakes (even in the worst lighting) but most days, I wear 2 articles of make-up; mascara & lipstick. I can't be arsed with things like foundation or blusher or eye shadow, but I do like a bit of lippy. A couple of years ago, I changed to Revlons Colorstay lipsticks, the ones you brush on - as opposed to drawing on, if ya know what I mean........  This lipstick sticks like shit to a blanket honestly! Up until just over a year ago, I sikkled like hell to get the bloody stuff off at the end of the day. I bought different brands of make-up removing wipes but none of them worked properly - they took the mascara off properly - but not the lipstick. I'd rub & rub until my lips were sore! Then an acquaintance told me to use baby oil & bugger me, it works like a charm! So, whilst it may be a good thing that this lipstick stays on all through eating, drinking, snogging etc *ahem* etc, it's in no bloody hurry to come off, unless you know how! Right, that's it, I'm outta here, cos the ol' man is taking me out for dinner, so I need an hour to get tarted up innit.................
