Georg:   Ok, so Happy Father's day Georg. In France father's day is mid- June.
Not sure if you've recovered from your bicycle incident, but your looking creepier by the day.

Patricia

Today I was on facebook and for the first time I realised that Katia (spelling) is your sister...  If my memory serves me correctly, she was quite a tomboy ?
Title: Re: Am I ALONE????
Post by: georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) on May 01, 2008, 02:33:44 PM
I like to answer that before Patricia comes in

Yes Katia is the sister, i know both very well. Katia was rather the more lively one, but both lovable kids of Chris and Jenny our neighbours and i am still in contact including several visits in France

In fact i envy that family for its closeness up to now.......

Hi Patricia. As everybody knows now ...Mayday!
The weather was fine, so we were out with the dog all day walking, meeting people, lunch at a nearby farm, bike tour and in the end a little fair downtown. So we were    :emot112: in the end. Won't have much time this weekend either.

Monday is another public holiday in Namibia...actually it falls on a SUnday...so the people in charge move it to a Monday..... So the town should be quiet this weekend.....unless Paula hangs around still....

Saturday morning and no one online again ... I went to the SA Freedom Day celebration yesterday (yes, they celebrate that here ...). Had a lekker boerewors roll, some pap, oxtail and koeksisters ... yummy, that was good. The whole thing downed with ice-cold Savannah ... made me miss the lekker  braai we had in Oranjemund.

Yes Dunja, your right. She was, and still is, a tomboy. I keep telling her to get onto this site but she's always coming up with excuses ... no time bla bla bla. I'm going to France end of June so will make sure she gets hooked like the rest of us poor mortal soles  iknow

Yes, we did spend quite a lot of time together. There weren't many French people in Oranjemund so we kind of stuck together, mainly with the Gonzales familly, Jean-Marie Luykx and then the Soums.

Patricia, I have managed to pick up contact with Virginie Soum after quite a few years.  Her and I actually returned to O/Mund in 1987 for a visit.  We then kept contact for another three years and then never spoke again till about a month ago when I found her on facebook.  Yes, the power of the net is amazing...

maybe just my imagination.

You're right Mike. My weekends fall on Fridays and Saturday, so I'm generally out and about and not online. But that's gonna change with the hot weather coming. We hit 49 degrees yesterday so I'll soon be spending my weekends at home with the AC on ...

Hi Patricia, Have you ever been inside that 7 star hotel? I found out recently that the shape of the hotel was based on a sailing boat. Untill then, I just thought the architect was a clever dude...lol
Title: Re: Am I ALONE????
Post by: Patricia Lotte on May 12, 2008, 06:54:26 AM
Yes, I've been there a few times ... not to sleep though (a little pricey) ... just for dinner or drinks. It is pretty amazing and worth seeing. But for me, it wasn't inside the hotel that appealed to me most, but what's around it, i.e. the sea. I've swam around it twice to raise funds for Medecins sans Frontieres and THAT was an amazing experience (1.2km), especially that you can't swim there under any other circumstances.

I believe that it was designed by South Africans? Is it true?

Title: Re: Am I ALONE????
Post by: Patricia Lotte on May 13, 2008, 02:42:52 AM
Designed ... not sure ... but South Africans were definately part of the whole project. And they've participated in many other major constructions here. Murray & Roberts are everywhere in this place.
