@ grootblousmile:
Hello BonzaiMaximus, hoessit?
Ek was vanoggend by n kameelveiling hier buite die dorp, gou die vrou gaan wys. n Swart kameelhings het gegaan vir R18 mil! Nog nooit so baie Rolls Royces op een plek bymekaar gesien nie, en dit innie middel van nokkel, net stof en klippe en bale lusern en Bedoeine-tente tot op die horison.
Veiling was oppie plaas van die eienaar van vanjaar se Durban July-wenner.
As ek so na hierdie twee kuk spanne kyk, kan ek nie glo ons Bokke is nie meer daar nie….
My hot cross bun has buggered off to town in a very bad mood – I am positive I told her there was rugby on this morning, so it’s a badly made cup of coffee and a cold shoulder for me
2nd Half on!
