Good evening Little Men !

How are my muppets doing today ? I do hope very well and that you both are safe…..

Apologies for being a little late today but I was not feeling great so went to lie down this afternoon for half an hour and ended up sleeping for almost 4 hours thus I just woke up 🙂

We seem to have had load shedding while I was sleeping as all the electrical stuff is flashing , they said we might have 3 or 4 hours a day now for the next couple of weeks , not so much fun.

I managed to get Justine’s birthday gift this morning when I went out and also got my flights booked for Cape Town next week. Next week looks like it is going to be a busy one but I see Cape Town might get some snow so I guess it will be pretty cold there.

I am going tomorrow for my renewal Yellow fever inoculation as it has been more than 10 years since I had it last and some of the places I am traveling to now requires this again , still find it funny as we have not had Yellow fever in South Africa for a hundred years but it seems embassies do not know the difference between Africa and South Africa , lol , if I recall the inoculation is a little sore and might give you a slight fever or something but I have to have it as it needs to be 10 days in your system before you can travel ,,,what a load of nonsense 🙂

Spoke to the Marx’s this morning also they have moved to a small holding ( a little farm) so I told Jaco I will see if I can get a baby billy goat for Jayden as I had one when we grew up , they are extremely naughty but great fun , mine use to eat any thing from books to clothing , whatever it could find, we would be outside on the terrace on the weekend sitting having lunch and when you look again this silly billy would jump on the table and start eating everything in site. He use to walk around with my donkey thinking she was his mum , don’t think I ever told you two about Pepe , she was lovely , I went to the animal auction with Oupa one day and there she was , but she was tiny and I was not going home without her …well she grew up into a pretty large donkey if I am honest and lived on a diet of fresh sour green apples and white bread , she would be way down in the fields and when she sees or hears me she would come running.

We had to in the end put a safety gate at the kitchen door as she had no issue coming into the house to come look for me , and when I was outside all she wanted to do was walk with her neck tucked under my arm , at first the dogs did not like her but in the end she was big mates with them chasing and playing on the lawn towards the west wing of the house. As far as I know she is still living on the property because when Oupa sold it when we moved back to the city he made sure she got life rights to remain ,makes me smile thinking about her 🙂

Sorry Champs a little bit of a long story but hey , I am not allowed to see you or speak with you to tell you about me and my life so I guess as these silly memories are triggered I feel I have to share them as I am pretty sure I will never get the opportunity to do so in person.

Well tomorrow is Friday again thus I hope you two are ready for the weekend with loads of fun a Little Man adventure plans !

I am just seeing friends which should be nice but I guess that is still depended on how I am feeling.

As always Champs , can’t wait to see you both a little later again tonight under our big old green tree in dreamland , looking forward to some nice farm yard animal bear dream cuddles and smiles..

Night , night Little Men …..happy great adventure weekend dreams ….

Love you both trucks and trucks full and miss you both so very much more …

Love you Champs ….always ….
