Been back at the office for 2 days now, not that I was on leave or anything, I just worked from home during the silly season. But what a drag it's been. Although there is not traffic and so it's quite quick to get to the office, there is almost no one there, and work is, well slow....
I started in my new position as of the 1st, and have been reading up on some of the stuff the boss recommended I read - like he knows...LOL! Mostly just rehashing what I already know, and have done for 10 of my 12 years here.
Had the Princess's boss, his wife, daughter, mother, and daughters friend around last night for a visit, and for GMan to load music onto his Ipod for him. Had a long chat, sitting outside on the deck. Nice guy he is, and has an interesting background, especially where his military service is concerned.
Rained like mad from early this am, and by 7 am when I was getting ready to leave for the office we had over 30mm in the rain meter. It's still raining now. But, after the dry spell we have had (a few weeks) and the high temperatures, I don't really mind. If nothing else, good clean pure rainwater is just what the garden, and my new trees, needs.
had to take the car back to have the alternator repaired again yesterday. In all my years of owning cars, I have never had such problems with alternators like I have with this one. it was overhauled not 2 months ago....! But, the guy did it for free, so no sweat there. I think since we re welded the body, it's a bit out of alignment, and this causes the outer bearing to collapse rather quickly.
Saw yesterday on the way home that the sports club is open again. Good, another place to visit every now and then. really enjoy the guys there - no hang ups, no big egos..... And there is the Cherry Master that has been so good to me! LOL - that's probably the prime reason for going there, although I must admit I don't always play. Sometimes it's more fun watching someone else.
This on line poker, even the "free"play is quite fun. However, I think because it's "free" the guys don't really play as they would if there was real money on the table. And that's a bit crappy. Nothing like having some dunce go all in, with a 3 / 7, and you fold a 10 / Q, just cause it's pre flop. But they are out there, and you play around them. Wish i could afford a seat at the Piggs Peak ZAR 1 million poker tournament though. Would love to be there and playing. However, at ZAR 10 k per entry it's not likely to happen any time soon.
Enough for now - keep visiting....
Salagatle!
