Good Middle of the night Little Men πŸ™‚

Well Champs I think I am just flying over Kenya as I write , not sure what time this update will post as the 777-300 does not seem to have a working wifi connection thus you might only get this when I change flights later ….

Been a pretty un-event full day , spend a couple of hours in the lounge in Johannesburg just trying to catch up on email and phone calls , did not really get time to see people with having had to travel today …so ended up just texting people to say I will see them when I see them again …lol …that makes no sense in writing but I am sure you muppets know what I mean as it makes total sense in my head ….. As most things do … Lol ….

I see it is 46 degrees in Dubai today , not sure if I can handle that kind of heat anymore ….. Johannesburg has been just right the last couple of days nice and cool very early morning but warm by 10 am.

I think I am going to be grumpy tomorrow night as I don’t think I will get to my hotel before 8 am local time tomorrow , then shower and head to the factory for a nice full day of physical stock take in the heat …..

It did not feel like bank holiday today for me , maybe because I was up early and spend most of the early morning hours working before heading to the airport …Ouma and Oupa dropped me as it did not make sense to leave the car that long ……. Q kindly offered to pick me up once I get back as it is not far from his new office.

O before I forget , left your big Harrods puppy dogs with Ouma and I have your Paddington Bears with me this time . I just hope they are not eating marmalade sandwiches in my work bag ! … πŸ™‚ , all I need now is a sticky jam computer ….lol , I wonder if you still have my little Paddington Bear in the metal tin I use to travel with always …you both seemed to have so much fun taking him out and putting him back in the tin and refused to give him back to me…. Makes me smile thinking about you both telling me that he was yours …. I think it was more playing with the little tin box then the tiny bear….

I hope you monkeys had a fantastic day , whatever you did……sure you learned lots and I hope you had some time for giggles also …….

Well Little men as I am not going to get any sleep tonight I just want you both to know that I am thinking of you lots and if you look up to the stars in your dreams tonight I will be saying hello from 38 000 feet …….play safe under our big old green tree and if I do manage to nod-off I will see you both in dreamland ……… With big travel bear cuddles …..

Night , night Champs …..dream big of wide open skies …….

Love you Little Men …..always ….

Good Evening Little Men!

Hope my Champs are doing great today !

Apologies for being so late today but had loads to sort as I was only due to travel the weekend but am now leaving tomorrow morning so it’s a mad house here to pack , book flights , hotels and sort the house …..

I think I have just sat down for the first time sine around 7 am ! , the fact that my work email has not stopped today is not helping either …..seems the lazy calm days are now truly over without any notice ……. I guess it’s like riding a bike you never forget how to do something even if you have not done it for a while ……

I am sure I have packed way to much stuff but as I am away from home for so long on this round I had to make sure I cover all basis on the weather side …..

Ouma and Oupa is going to drop me at the airport as I think it will be one billion pounds to leave the car in the long stay for this one ….lol πŸ™‚

Boys I am not sure if I will have wifi on the flights tomorrow but will write once I can …so don’t think I have forgotten about you!

It’s bank holiday here tomorrow so at least the road to the airport should not be that busy !

I have had to pack the stuff I have been working on for your big day also , thus the big day might have to come with a ‘twist’ due to practical reasons but I am sure you two will understand …….

I wonder if your week is going well …the weekend is almost here again for you muppets so I hope you have made your list of fun things to go do , please don’t forget to work in some fetch with B&B in the park also as I am sure they need some R&R also ….lol

Well Little Men I need to run again I am afraid as I have a couple of things to still sort and try to find …..like my travel plug ! It’s like a needle in a haystack that thing always ….

But as always I will see you both a little later under our big old green tree in dreamland …..big travel bear dream cuddles and smiles tonight on the menu …..

Night , night Champs …..happy dreams of big adventures …….

Love you both truck loads full and miss you to the moon and back ….

Love you Little Men…..always …

Good evening Little Men !

How are my Champs doing today? I really hope you muppets are well….

It’s been a really long day ……lots to think about and digest ….. I guess time will tell …..

O before I forget I got an email from the SOP in London today , it looks like your hearing on 28 May will have to be delayed for 4 months as the MFA needs 3 months to respond ….positive thing here I think it that you will keep your birth names a little longer ….pretty sure some people are not going to like that but people can not always get their way at some point fair legal process has to kick in and that seems to be happening now , the aid organisation in London also phoned today but I was a little tied up so they have agreed to ring back tomorrow …I am keen to hear what their stance is on your continued hostage keeping by the UK Courts and government now that you hold duel nationality πŸ™‚

Talking about duel nationality , now that you are Saffers also I think I am going to get you Afrikaans birthday cards as you need to start learning your main langue sooner rather later …… πŸ™‚

Well Little Men I need to shoot , I need to have some food as I have had nothing but a coffee since this morning ….and I think I need a good nights sleep as I am doing Embassy hopping tomorrow if all goes to plan….

I hope you both are having a fun week , with lots of learning and giggles … Have you started to pack your trunkies for the big birthday holiday yet ? Are you going to pack some of the wild animals I bought you last time I saw you in November last year ?……I do hope so ….sure they will love the beech …..

Night , night Champs …happy dreams of the big blue ocean …….

Can’t wait to see you both later as always under our big old green tree in dream land …..double O dream bear cuddles and smiles please , think I need it today very much ….. πŸ™‚

Love you monkeys around the world and back and miss you to the moon and back a billion billion times ……

Love you Little Men…..always …..

Hello Little Men!

Hope you muppets are doing well and had a fantastic Monday !

As expected today felt like Sunday …lol …. Big day tomorrow …..might be good news or not such good news ….either way it’s been 6 months now and I need to start getting on with things regardless of time …..

Time is a funny thing , we all always think we have lots of it until that is not the case anymore BUT you can’t live your life with that mindset …no matter what ….

A friend in Dubai told me years ago ; if you don not live life on the edge you take up too much space that other people might need …. Never really got the meaning of that until the last couple of months ……

I read a couple of great posts on wordpress and Facebook today ….people ask others , why they are angry ? why do they speak up ? Why do they fight ? Well I don’t know the answer to these questions for others but for me ‘time’ is the answer to all three these questions time and time again…….

Sorry Champs you must be thinking I have lost the plot today ….well I can assure you both I have not …..it’s just a big day tomorrow in which the word ‘time’ will be the basis of the day in a massive way …….

Well enough about ‘time’ I sound like Dr Who or something … πŸ™‚

I hope you both have had a great start to this week …..sure you have plenty of little super-hero plans that you are plotting …..makes me smile just thinking about it …. πŸ™‚

Can’t wait too see you monkeys tonight under our big old green tree in dreamland ……looking forward to my daily dose of double O dream cuddles and smiles ….

Night , night Champs …..long dreams of time and lots of it ……

Love you both lots and lots and miss you pretty much the biggest possible lots more ……

Love you Little Men….always ….

Why Do I Punish Myself?

πŸ™‚

Ms. Donna's avatarFrom Torn 2 Pieces 2 Peace

I’ve ignored opportunities for fun, joy, love…
I’ve neglected my health, even my comfort.

Why?

silent treatment

Especially since some people in my life have caused me so much pain. One person PURPOSELY creates pain for me no matter what I do. He wants to control my happiness. He wants to be the creator of my pain and joy, my laughter and my tears. He makes promises then turns around & blames someone, sometimes me, for not coming through.

You’d think I’d be extra good to myself because of that. A trip to the beach, a bike ride, listen to some great music…

But no, I often make choices that make life harder on myself.

Yesterday, I spent mostly alone in silence. No texting, nothing.

Silence is a teacher to me sometimes.

deepak wisdom

Silence told me I punish myself because I’m angry. I’m angry at the stolen innocence.Β I’m angry and I can’t…
