Went to the BEach!

[Michael Alexander]

Hehehehe! Don't worry Rhona, you and your family are right on the top of that list.....  Better phone the Guiness Brewery in Dublin, let them know that I'm on my way....

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Is the Scottish blood that run in my veins the reason for my affinity for beer?

A pint fer the wee lass in the yonder Kalahari, please:  -  that's my humble order for a gift from the land of William Wallace should you go and visit there, Mike.

[Rhona]

Hahaha will do Mike; so that's guiness in Dublin; cider in Tipperary and the whiskey distillary in Cork........a couple of lock ins, at least one good sing song and a leprechaun search...........if you fancy doing any other things while in the emerald isle, just shout and I'll see about arranging it..........last weekend my husband and a group of the lads went quad biking, he said it was the best craic ever, but had to be power hosed afterwards as he was covered in ****, whatcha reckon, you think you'd be up for quading through the muck???

[Michael Alexander]

Quad Biking has taken off big time out here, we even sell the blerrie things at Spar. Needless to say we have the environment for the stuff....

Almost every single Afrikaaner has a bike, kinda like an inbred connection to their forefathers having an Ox wagon in the great trek I guess......

But I'll stick to the pubs and a good singsong!

[Rhona]

Quading in the sun over the sand dunes............go away will you, and you call yourself a man...........try quading in the mucky forests with the rain belting down so heavy that you cant see where you're going and the lads hell bent on driving into you trying to knock you over, so cold your hands have turned a peculiar shade of blue and then power hosed down with water pumped directly from the south pole............now that's quading!!!
Course a sing-song and a game of pool/darts is good fun too...........

[Michael Alexander]

mmmh! me thinks it is easier to clean a Quad after desert riding as against Emerald Isle bashing!

[Rhona]

Ah! But I bet the Emerald Isle bashing is way more fun.............

[Michael Alexander]

Emeralds can be fragile at times..... And the Namib, like sands through the hour glass.......these are the quads of our lives....


I'm back from my dip in the pond, the stars are awesome and there be not a cloud anywhere I tell you....

Enough now Michael. You've got a cheak hey. Or I'll be sending you tons of pics of the frost
