Life

What a weekend. Did so much, felt so much .... LIVED so much.

Time is SUCH an illusion. Friday night my parents dropped my kids back with us. They were away for a week or so during the holiday. Plus it was both their birthdays, so i isseed 1, but the other's was saturday. SO anyways, house full of family, and birthday kids and presents and .... family time, albeit just a little.

My granny ... how do i ascribe words? She's beautiful. Such a good lady, with so much gentleness, humour and kindness in her. I'm her "special" one, she only has 2 grandkids, and i spent a lot of time with her as a child, on the beaches and surrounds of Kommmetjie in the cape. I can still see her jumping across rock pols, and digging down to show me marine flaura and fauna. Last time we were there, she sat on a bench on the beach, and she told me how that bench came about. As a memory for a ship that was lost, and a boy (Smith i think) who had drowned. is parents put up the bench to remember him, pointed in the exact direction of where the ship went down.

She's old now, and becoming fragile. Been hard since my grandfather passed away. The 2 were inseperable. He was always the perfect gent, and she the perfect lady. He did everything for her, and she misses him daily, you can see. She will pass on soon, so every small piece of time is gold. My folks are also pretty cool, miss them a lot (they stay far away).

Anyways, so i took my birthday girl to a band practice, which she loved, and Mali had an archery set there, the real thing, and showed her how to shoot arrows. We listened to music, and "kuiered". What an awesome bunch of people. I saw an orgone generator .... i will build one shortly, easy enough and it really works. This house was full of energy alrtenative, like solar cookers, solar panels and such.

Wound the day down just relaxing at home, spending family time.

Yesterday was the big day. a breakfast run for new riders, or riders on smaller bikes out to parys, which is about a 200km trip. I was a marshall, and assisted in closing down intersection for the bunch, so as to avoid any silly cars trying to force into the group. What an awesome time, the marshalls were just so good, the other drivers just as good. Ended at a place on the vaal river, where i sat and sat for a while. Was really good for my soul.

Coming home was also a slightly different matter. I left early,it wasn't so much a brekkie run as a lunch run, and family was waiting. So i grabbed a guy who was leaving and asked if i could ride with him. As someone put it, "he rides like a demon" and yessir he does. 200+ kmh ALL THE FREAKIN WAY!!! *see the grin*

Um about toll roads ..... FUCK EM. I didn't have money, so i just went through. It's easy. Strange how people are so conditioned, that they voluntarily stop and pay money for nothing at all. Sheep.

Ended the day just doing the stuff that needed doing. Family time again. Can't beat it.
