Soutie

Catch of the day

Bought 6 of these beauties yesterday, they weigh about 350gm each. (Cost me R200 for all 6, that’s about £12 🙂 )

Now to decide how to cook them, I’ll probably light a fire and braai them, any suggestions?

We call them crayfish, you?

Ebola awareness ad

Just seen this on my TV this evening, our satellite provider transmits throughout Africa, hopefully it might help one or two up north.

Battle at Kruger

I was reminded of this epic video this week. I know that it’s rather lengthy (8 mins) but if you have a bit of spare time this weekend it’s well worth a watch.

EP v OFS and EP v Pumas

For those of you who have missed my regular updates on the (non) performance / (non) progress of my Eastern Province rugby team, fear not, we still go, we still watch and we still leave disappointed!

Some may remember my post on our first match since rejoining the top tier of SA rugby not to long ago. Well not much has changed since then, our record in this year’s tournament now reads played 7 – lost 7.

Yesterday was no different, we started off not to badly, went behind to a couple of penalties, conceded a try, scored a beaut of a try ourselves and went into half time trailing by only 6 points, then the wheels fell off!

Most disappointing however was the crowd, in my many, many visits to our stadium for a variety of football and rugby matches yesterday’s crowd has to be the smallest that I’ve ever witnessed, I know, supporters love a winner!

Notwithstanding the result, a great day, great weather, great company.

Only one more home game left, so not much more of the agony to endure.

(until next year that is.)
