well the weekend flew by in a haze, landing me back at monday where it all begins again.

friday night, we hooked up with the neighbours and cracked open a bottle of champagne to celebrate jonno’s newly acquired british citizenship! his application has been approved, and his ceremony is on the 20th July. All together, it took ten working days for his approval (as part of a pilot scheme) as opposed to the 6 months it takes most other people. Hooray! So we popped some good bubbly, then took the party up the road to our local bar.

Amazingly, we were actually clearheaded enough to go rock-climbing the next day. Kerryn, tracey, chris, a heavily pregnant tonia, j and i headed out to harrison’s rocks in groombridge, kent, where we’d gone last year, so if some of the pics look a little familiar, that’s why. and though there are no pictures to prove it, i actually did do some climbing. we hadn’t been since about november last year, so there was more than a little rust on the muscles, but overall it felt good, and it was nice to spend the day outdoors. pics are here for your viewing pleasure.

sunday was the lord’s day of rest at our house. we chilled out, i did some cooking (traditional southafrican meal of bobotie,yellow rice, and tomato onion salad) and watched “assault on precinct 13″ (need i point out this was j’s choice of dvd?) in which the only redeeming feature was ethan hawke. followed by (you guessed it) “world’s wildest police videos”.

last week’s dialogue gem:

(police officer is testing a driver who is obviously dui, and upon closing his eyes to touch his finger to his nose, starts to fall. officer catches him before he goes down like a sack of potatos.)

DUI suspect (in a thick southern slur): “thanks man. that’s more than what catfish would do.”

this has become our catchphrase for the past fortnight, for obvious reasons…
