Wow work has certainly become hectic. Today I saw possibly the worst welding ever and the owner was surprised that it had been rejected. But that is another tale is best ended early with a shake of the head.
Ants decided to make my life more interesting and invaded one of machines. Following a franctic call from a customer I arrived at 06h20 the following morning and found NOTHING! They seemed to have come, got bored and hid away or took to the hills. So fumigated and restocked I left. Strange days indeed.
And then oh my Germany, so brave till the bitter einde, but outplayed in midfield and now we shall not face the Netherlands in the World Cup Final.
Have my girls tonight as my ex had a function, who has a function on the evening of a FIFA World Cup Semi Final? Mmmmm
Cooked a massive bowl of spagetti bolonaise for supper and enjoyed by all 9 of us, apparently the French mini loaf was also great!
Got into bed, read a brochure of things I cannot afford and then fell asleep.
Zzzzzzzz

Cold Night
Yes I realise I am late and so I am typing this while my girls are still fast asleep and I am propped up in bed.
It is cold enough to freeze 2 french kissing Eskimos together, this would be sort of photogenic opportunity that would require the use of an tripod. Why you ask? Well when you are laughing that hard, all your wobbly bits are shaking and tears don't help with the focus ability required.
We braaied last night and had soft marinaded steak, chicken sausage and baked potatoes for supper followed by Simon's Scrumptious Crumpets.
Then I watched England continue their plan to exit the World Cup really early, no continuity, pick it up or pack up and go!
It was a long hard day and I was glad to get home. Felt very tired and slightly irritable when I got home, but I was met at the car with smile and hugs from 2 beautiful angels. My girls rock!
Next week holds so much for me work-wise and will really have to try to stay completely focused. Much is expected there are many challenges that need urgent attention. The positive side is the career potential so it will trying and need to be operating at least 80% output. No pressure Amigo!
Well enough for now.
Till later

03 June Thursday
Counselling with R and it was ok, all this honesty with emotions is extremely tiring, I seem to remember the days of boxing it all up as being a lot easier to deal with short term. It seems that the long term damage creeps out of the boardwalk like forgotten relatives after a lottery winning. So now we talk about it and do homework and face them all like they are embarrassed teenagers on their first date, a case of "howzit" and "wanna dance" or "what's your friends name" lol.
When it finally dawns on you that you no longer love someone, it does make it easier to deal with a whole emotional side of the "relationship" and finally move on to the next phase of your life. While there were feelings, guilt could so easily be thrown into the equation and somehow sway a 50/50 call where now it can be dealt with rationally and evaluated and a more honest approach can be adopted. Strange how we need to knock our heads repeatedly in some cases before we finally realise that it is time to move on.
Well it has come down to the fact that I have to sell the damn house, yes a little anger is involved in a situation that has snowballed and now looms in the background drawing ever closer. If the Auctioneers don't step in soon and make this a reality I shall have to use plan "B", only snag is that plan "B" has not done me the courtesy of revealing itself to me. So in the bank we trust and as we are all well aware this never usually ends well.
Have every intention of making a beefy red wine minestrone soup tomorrow night and have all the ingredients at my disposal, so tomorrow night or bright and breezy Saturday morning the pressure cooker will be whistling away. Home will be saturated with the aroma of all the combinations of flavours as they thicken and merge and become a winters meal worth killing for. Hope that wont be required ha ha.
I have a Germany flag flying on the window of my car in preparation for the FIFA World Cup and cant wait for the first game between South Africa and Mexico to kick off. My prediction SA 1 -3 Mexico.
And now time for a mug of hot chocolate and then bedtime.
Till tomorrow.

Monday 31 May
Sometimes I feel like God is walking around with a huge stick hitting me on the head, why? Well my head has been sore for a while.
I know this isn't the way I am supposed to see it, but it was a long day that started well and deteriorated faster than a cannon ball down a mine shaft. To make a seemingly long tale of woe a short description of "Woe is me and I am feeling sorry for myself", 2 fellows who have mothers but are not aware of who their natural fathers are took it upon themselves to force themselves into my old home and destroy the front door and damage 2 security gates. Add to that an unnecessary abusive phone call, an emotional melt down in my old family home and a metal object (unwelcome and intrusive) in the front wheel of my car and I was willing to give up on Monday and retire home.
Isn't it interesting that we can so be affected by others actions and yet we often pretend that they have no impact on our lives?
Good news for today, well my angel sent me the most gorgeous photo of herself in her newly made FIFA World Cup hat, it made me laugh and miss her at the same time. My other informed me that she had a "kik bum weekend" which implies she had a lot of fun and that too warms the heart on a Jburg winters night.
This journey has eaten into my soul and made me question so much about life, God, joy, love and friendship and i feel as if I am only ankle deep in the pool of emotional and spiritual discovery. Where to next? I am not sure. I have to trust and somehow pray and make the effort to awaken each day, bounce or drag myself out of bed and face the curve balls life has been throwing at me.
Well my friend my bed calls and I am unable to ignore it's plea's any longer.
Good Night
