Fishing

So, eventually I cop an invite to the annual fishing trip to the coast, as arranged by Fishman. Every time he posted details of this in the past, I bemoaned the fact that he didn't invite me.
So this year he has. Not sure if he's running short of friends, or maybe it's a financial decision (more people come, less it costs each person), but anyway, there you go.
Amongst others, DMDad is also invited, but it's not his first year.

Anyway, I discussed this with the Princess, and she said it's OK for me to go. Only to find out now, I actually can't attend this prestigious occasion. Dammit!!!We going to my brother for a weekend for his 40th, followed by a trip to the Kruger National Park for a cricket tournament the very next weekend. We then have one weekend at home, with another trip to Cape Town the following weekend for a wedding. SO, the fishing trip follows on this, and there just are no more opportunities to a) get away, b) ravage the bank account.

I'm disappointed,, but then, considering some of the emails that have been going backwards and forwards from those who do / will attend the fishing trip, I'm maybe better off not going! Have already pissed off a lady vet, and have been told that I am being taken along as a "trouble sorter outer" which means no one cares about my looks, or personality. They only want me there for my ferocious temper, and ability to shoot to kill when prompted. Sad.... Very sad!
Maybe next time......

Salagatle!
