Mike
sorry to hear about your gout, the condition of over indulgant gentleman.  Ha, no seriously I believe it is painful, take care,

[Michael Alexander]

...and to think I sacrificed beer this past weekend, all in vain I guess.... I know I'll have to stop the biltong and droe wors.... not so easy during a world cup year!


;D

[Delia]

Julie/Jackie/Paula - so sorry to hear about your mom.  Please send her my love and you're all in my thoughts.  Your home (among sheena's & natasha's) was like a second home to me in our junior school years.  I have fond memories of your mom and  dad.  Do you guys remember the morning we took your dad breakfast (cereal) in bed and as we gave it to him we noticed weavils in the cereal.  When we wanted to take it back, Bennie's take on it was "so what, more protein" and ate the cereal weavils and all  :D

I also remember very clearly having supper at your house the day my dad died (it was a Sunday) - we were all sitting in one of the bedrooms, plates of braai on our lap - everyone was so quiet not knowing what to say to me.  can't remember exactly how come I landed up at your place that night but with hindsight now my mom probably felt it best to be with my friends while she tried to process the shock of it all.

Hey Mike, don't talk sh*t about having so called "gout" you are lekker bang that Sheena or myself gets hold of you and slaps you silly, now you're hiding out at home but we know were you live!!! BE SCARED!BE VERY VERY SCARED!! (SHEENA GO GET HIM AT HOME!!..TEHE)

Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prays.  We are all still hanging in there even if we look like a bunch of monkeys.  My mom will be having a biopsy on the tumor in her lung tomorrow moring at 9:30am (we are an hour behind you guys that side).

Delia, yes we remember that night too.  Do you also still remember the night we all went to the town swimming pool for a dip and then security came and we all ran away to hide and they followed us by the wet footprint to behind the toilets at the old cafe.  Then you put your pants back on at the pool and there was a bat inside them and you just about sh*t yourself when it started to crawl around inside your pants..hahaha

Yvette thanks for your note, what skinner do you have on Paarl, I hear that schools name has now changed. Flip that school only sucked, was glad to get out of there!

Michele thanks for keeping us updated on Mikes where abouts so we can find him..hahahahaha...if he leaves town let us know!

got to go now, got a early morning tomorrow.

lovies to all

Paula,Julie and Jackie
:D

Hey J/J/P - will be thinking of your mom at 09h30 - Aunty Auriel, what a honey-bun!

I remember the night of our skinny dip very well - felt like such a dork when the security guys found us by simply following our wet footprints, but don't remember the bat in the pants story - s..t, probably scared the memory right outa me. 

julie, have been in contact with ivan - the last of the mohicans still standing!  lotsa reminiscing there when he comes down to ct in jan - has promised to pop in for a visit.  say hello to greg for me. i still have the video your dad made of us all at my 21st spit braai at your place (1985), watch it occassionally - fanie smit still made up the marinade for us and greg did the honours of spiking the sheep all day with this mysterious conconction - "genuine african ganja" he still called it. jackie, vernette's (± 2 yrs old) on the video dragging around a leg of the sheep with the dogs hot on her heels - no ways was she letting go of that braaied leg  :D

, all the best xoxox

Hi Willsons (well Cloete, Vice and Gottsch)

I hope all goes well today.  You are all in our thoughts.

Paula, went to find Mike yesterday, but no sign of him.  I think Michelle is hiding him somewhere.

Be good and speak to you soon.

[Michael Alexander]

Mikes sitting at home with gout again, anyway I'm not that that that that scared of you...!

:'(

[Julie Vice (Willson)]

Hi All

My mom's biopsy went off well this morning and she is doing as well as can be expected.
Jackie and I (sheena note the "I" haha) had a laugh, we got my mom a balloon with "To cheer you" printed on it to tie onto her bed and tomorrow I think i will be getting her one that reads "Congradulations, its a girl" printed on it, that should confuse all the doctors that visits her bedside...hahaha
(we have to laugh or we will be taking prozac by the bottle fulls so we try to intertain ourselves)
Shame, there are a few old ladies in my moms ward and they don't always have visiters so Jackie and I do the rounds when we are there and now know everyones problems.  There is a bat of a cleaning cow there that gives us all trouble and likes to think she is the boss but we soon put her in her place and we have now named her "Happiness Is".

We will be trying out the bus transport to the hospital tomorrow so if you don't hear from us send out the search party.
Julie is having a laugh at my expense as the damn coins here don't have numbers on them so I am just useing the notes at the moment and give Julie the coins cos I don't know what the hell they are.

We have told my dad about how many hits his site has had and he is very impressed and all that know him "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble"..(bless him)(luv ya Dad!)

Say hi to all and Mick you are still on the hit list!! tehe

Lovies
Paula, Jackie and Julie
;D

[Julie Vice (Willson)]

Hey Paula you're becoming quite violent in you're old age.  :-* Now let Jackie say hi to all otherwise she's going to feel left out again ;D Its so great having you both here, love you both lot and lot of jelly tots xx

Hi Dee, remember when you lived with Greg and I and the two of you use to make trifle?
Julie

[Michael Alexander]

Paula, whos feeding the mine whilst you are having a holiday with your old lady in the hospital, hope there's a pub in that hospital.....   ;)

[Julie Vice (Willson)]

Hiya

I think that lot are getting fed or there would be a strike going on in Ormd right now with that lot, a bit like the Spar when there ain't stock on the shelves...hahaha

Hey Mike if you hear anything about the Sodexho contract you must let me know because as I'm out here on "holiday" we are waiting to hear who got the contract so I might not even have a job when I get back to Ormd, hey, do you maybe have a job for me..hehe..then I could slap you everyday. hahaha

Mom will hopefully be getting out of hospital on monday.  Me and Jackie went on the bus to the hospital today but only after missing the first bus and having to wait for the next one but it was only for 20min.

:)

[Michael Alexander]

20 minutes for a bus in the 1st world, gee out here in remote africa, in Oranjemund, in the desert, you only have to wait 15 minutes and then the Shift bus comes pass...... hehehehe!

Eddie should know now about that contract.... I saw him in the store, he looked happpy, but we did'nt talk, I'll find out for you though........

[Julie Vice (Willson)]

I didn't mind going on the bus this side it smelt clean and was!!

Thanks for finding out the info for me. will keep my eyes peeled for it.

:)

[Michael Alexander]

Sterkte vir jou ma! (or did you forget)   ;)

[Julie Vice (Willson)]
