I have to drive all the way to Durbanville in a minute – an hour and a half away – to give a bloody wine tasting. Hot as hell here, and A/C not working. Not looking forward to it at all. Just hope this crowd don’t have deep pockets and make it worth it by buying loads of wine!

Just For Kicks on 19 November 2011 at 4:47 pm

Wouldn’t be surprised to see YT in the crowd there – just don’t know what to look for
