Bittersweet...

Well last night was a night of many things, many emotions and many things….! It was the Fyvies farewell as they do their final movements in EL before heading to PE for a couple of weeks and then destination UK for an period as yet unknown…Jeremiah 10:23. So it was bitter as we lose friends in the sense of being able to see them, spend time with them and do life together. It was sweet in that it is an exciting period for them as go forward into a new season of travel, new cultures and a sense of a spreading of wings.

The evening itself was all sweet….ok…the bitter part was the cricket…bygones! It is said that a nation can be born in a day well I think a nation of Sri Lankan supporters was born in an evening… Anyway back to the sweet evening. The ladies went out for dinner together at Café Avanti. The boys, here’s the sweet part, had a number of sweet things happening simultaneously. Due to the proximity of the Rautenbach’s and the George’s TV sets the following was possible at the same time…

1. A braai.
2. The cricket…Aus vs SA
3. UEFA Champions League…Chelsea vs Liverpool
4. Sony Playstation…Need for speed and Tekken
   

Got home really late, packed for our trip to Cape Town….got to bed really really late….around 1am. Up at 6am to just make it to work and am now counting down the hours till we FLY….

Three praiseworthy things…I finished my assignment, I finished recording a couple of songs and Tess finished her really BIG puzzle!! Yes Lord!!!
