Be awesome. Do epic shit – before you die…
- Monday, gym with Werner, Mia and I went to get the 2nd half of the Ferrari LEGO cars collection, Mia and I went to Marianne Wine Estate to fetch my tripod (misplaced at Aiden’s wedding), quick wine tasting to miss the flash rain storm, got a bottle of the Cab 2008, watched Raiders of the Lost Ark with Mia after we established that this was my favourite Indiana Jones movie – Marion is probably also the hottest leading lady in the series.
- Tuesday, we watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – good idea to watch this right after Raiders of the Lost Ark, gym, swimming, Mia watched Temple of Doom, sunset walk around Stellenbosch and some tempura calamari at Genki – Mia liked the Edamame beans.
- Wednesday, gym with Werner, Mia went to gym holiday camp and won a cap for best colouring in work, swimming with Mia, sauna, we started building the 2nd half of the Death Star (finally), last Gust meeting of the year at Brampton, the first Street Soiree of the season (Church st) – the usual chalk art on the street – we drew a few rockets, a Death Star and a Star Destroyer.
- Thursday, tag team LEGO building, gym, swimming – Mia did the 25m freestyle in 25sec, lunch at Greengate, listened to a lot of Fleetwood Mac with more tag team Death Star building – built about a 1/4, sunset walk, a game of chess and pizza.
- Friday, swimming with Mia – her freestyle technique is coming along nicely, lunch at Greengate, Choc99 ice cream, dropped Mia at her mom’s house, Brampton with Jan and Adele, Balboa with Paul and Dennis.
- A nice swimming technique video I found. If this tech startup thing does not work out I can always become a swimming coach.
- Four days of not using my car.
- Seems I really did not have much luck with finding a wedding date. Fairly common among the League of Emotionally Unavailable Gentlemen I guess.
- Saturday, watched Looper – epic movie, Werner and Janette’s wedding at Knorhoek.
-
“To life.” — a toast to the wedding couple.
- Croquet rules.
- While building Lego Mia asked me.. “do people know when they are going to die?” – which kinda became a theme for the week. Look at the next two points! I event updated my blog tagline.
-
“Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustable well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. — We Are Only Human.”
- Be awesome. Do epic shit.

“Hashtag middle class problems.” — Paul
- Tune of the week: Next Girl, The Black Keys
- Sunday, woke up at Knorhoek Guest House, an hour of photo processing, backups, shuttle to the airport, flight to Durban.
Have a fun week, crazy kids. I’m kinda on holiday now.
