James Bond - has to be Sean Connery.......Now listen to my story - you are saying about the 1st day of Spring, bare in mind that we are in Autumn; weather is getting chilly and the nights are closing in.....anyway yesterday as it was a lovely sunny day, now when I say lovely I mean it wasn't raining and when I say sunny I mean it was still bright out - anyway I decided to go to the beach for a walk, there wasn't too many people around and everything was looking peacefull.

So I'm strolling along, minding my own business rooster - there's a light breeze blowing and I stop every now and again to explore little caves and the nooks and crannies along the way.............next thing I round a bunch of sticky out rocks and what do I see only 2 naked

.......

I kid you not guys & dolls - there were 2 people butt naked topping up their tan on a cold windy beach in Ireland - Has the world gone completely demented

Only one James Bond!!!.........'SEAN CONNERY'!..

...... Watched a movie while in Brisbane the other day 'SALT' with ANGELINA JOLIEN..

..... did not take any notice of the other actors.... Its an action pact movie.......its 'OK'......... but like all the action pact movies predictable. The film SALT is a 'JAMES BOND' take off "She (ANGELINA) was asked if she wanted to play a Bond girl. she said, 'No, I'm not comfortable with that, but I would like to play Bond.'" hence the film SALT..............................................................................

Sitting here at work , staring at the 40 odd Oranjemund Newsletters from 1969 and 1970 that Dawn dropped off for me to scan.... then in another plastic bag , at least another 50 Newsletters from 1989, from Nada...to scan..... Oh! Joy ... I will try and limit myself to scanning one a day and at least then in 3 months I might be finished..... Thanks Ladies....

Got myself a piece of Software that is actually used to catalogue book collections, going to see how I can adapt it to use for the Newsletters....starting to lose track over in the desert....

Thinking back to the birthday party I got invited to on Saturday. Got invited by the birthday guy himself - he's got this develish smile, blue eyes, wild blond hair .....

Anyways, we had a great time indeed. I got a Porche 911 as thanks for attending the party and and and ... I got hugged and kissed by the birthday bloke !!!!

You see, the birthday hunk turned 4 on Saturday, but by my golly - is he going to be a stud amongst the girls some day!! Best of all is, he thought I was way to much of a fun aunt not to be invited to his party (his sister invited me to her 6th some time ago). I had to sing to him - the birthday song and no one else was allowed to join in while I was singing - very strict he was about that!!

His mom had him a cake baked that looked like a rusted old 1947 Chev picup - stunning indeed.

Well, I never got round to having much conversation with the 'elders', because I was so involved in the games of the kids. Hidden inside edable clay was a small gift for everyone who attended the party. (I was very happy to settle for a fresh scon with plum jam and cheese, but my happines was not in count here, so forced by the little lordship himself I had to unwrap a gift and chew screech blue clay that had already been handled by about 10 little hands, thus the Porche 911).

I left after the party, but for some reason I think back to Saturday and the joys of being 4yrs old and the wonders of what you discover around you and the way kids perceive you as an adult (oh, and I wish I had one of those scones again) and I think it must mean something so very special to them that you as adult can truly mingle with them on their level at times, specially on an occasion such as a birthday, for just after 8 on Saturday evening I received a message on my phone (obviously written by the mum) from the little lord, thanking me for his prezzie and thanking me for being at his party.

Makes me wonder when I am going to turn 4 and see the world through the eyes of a child once more - to not just always seek and see the bad in things or people, but to dig for what's good and beautifull.

Well, that's me .... and I still have to test drive that Porche 911 on a hand scraped road in my own garden!

Seen this article in our local TygerBurger to-day....can't get my mind around it. My scanner not working so here in short.
A person driving along on 18th Sept came across two vagrants sitting on the side of the road with a little puppy. After inquiring about the puppy was told that a woman had dumped the puppy with them. There was bedding,two feeding bowls, an open packet of Vets Choice puppy food,a chewing hoof, a dog toy and on top of it she gave them the vet card. Puppy was born on July24 She had her first vaccination and deworming on 13Sept and gets dumped five days later. The vagrants were going to sell her at the station for R50.00. The person took the puppy to the Tygerberg Animal Hosiptal and puppy is now up for adoption.
NOW I ask myself why did the owner not do that in the first place......for whatever reason she could not keep puppy.

Michael Alexander · September 22, 2010, 10:53:39 AM

er..... are you saying vagrants can't own pets then?

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · September 22, 2010, 12:03:10 PM

NOPE NOT AT ALL......just that the vagrants didn't want the puppy and she was just dumped on them. I have vagrants down my street with a very well cared for dog. I just would not dump my 2mnth old puppy off on them. The puppy should have been taken to some Animal Shelter and given the chance to be adopted by somebody that WANTED to adopt her be they a vagrant or not.

Bob Molloy · September 22, 2010, 09:47:41 PM

Um, what's a vagrant?

Michael Alexander · September 23, 2010, 05:16:55 AM
