Not Dead yet

So yes it’s been a while since i last wrote and with good reason of course. I was lazy.

Many moons have passed since mother dearest went across the yellow border to stay with father dearest and after the initial bombardment of emails and Skyping to check up on us and the dogs, it would seem that we are but a distant memory.

Mom has settled in quit nicely so far and even got a job, which lasted a week. She decided that she would decide to decide on her return home (because she is coming back home for a short while over September), whether or not to try find a stable job in Hong Kong. She has met many nice people there, some who even randomly came and gave her food while she was reading a book in the mall. The culture is very different there, there is no such thing as personal space.

Dad is still trudging along like a trooper! None of the plans that hear of falling out of the sky are ever his. He can’t wait to come home and finish the house in Bredell so that him and my mom can park off and do whatever it is that old people do.

As for me, I am still alive and kicking. It would seem that many of my ideas that initially seemed fool-proof did not work. How does the saying go?” Make something fool-proof and they’ll find a bigger fool”. Washing my clothes in the pool did not clean the clothes though I did get a good work out, and later a cold when winter hit us. Scavenging from the neighbours bins also became problematic as some neighbourhoods have cat gangs that beat you up if you invade their turf, also the dog bite got old very quickly.

It would seem that a new era has dawned. An era of prosperity and happiness. An era where a man buttocks need not get bitten and his clothes needn’t be thrown away or burnt. Yes dear friends that era has arrived. That era began when my boet started cooking. Sweeeeet! And Florence comes nearly twice a week so clothes are sorted. BOOM!

We going down to Hong Kong and Thailand over September so you guys better miss us, but don’t expect any gifts or other nonsense, you’ll photo’s and be happy with that!

So ya life is pretty good. Il let you know if anything else cool happens.

The Wolf Pack of One

Ab initio

So ya, My Dad works in Hong Kong and my mom decided to resign from her job to go and stay with him.

I decided to tell my work colleges about in a passing conversation. They could not understand how I could be so calm and why I was not panicking. I’m still not sure why but it seems that people have little faith in me.

True, I don’t fully understand where the process of how clothes get washed and ironed. True, I don’t know how the food gets out of the fridge cold and ends up cooked on the table and hot (et cetera). But these, I believe, are simple formalities.

I’ll have you know that I can make 2 minute noodles in 24 different ways and I have devised an ingenious way to wear one set of undies for 4 days in a row. "De die in diem"

In terrorem, Now I ask you, do I seem like a person to stress about trivial little things like nutrition and hygiene or I do I sound like a man who take the bull by the horns, chops him up and braai’s him? NOLO CONTENDERE!!!

Here is a blog just to prove that i can do it on my own (Sub modo), I just need to be given the right opportunity.

quid pro quo... verbatim... bona vacantia...

(I think I've made my point)
