Amelia and I have looked at the cover, a few times but never got to the point of taking it out.
This weekend, we were not sure what we wanted so we took it out.
Rise was not particularly exciting or nerve wrecking, if you are in to gore this this is up your ally, with plenty of bloody scenes typical to a vampire film.
The film did however take one of two twists, but not so much as to the point where you jump out of your chair in astonishment.
Amelia and I decided, as we so often do, that we wanted to eat something after work.
For a change we chose to try out Steers for their Wacky Wednesday promotion…
The burgers are not particularly small and don’t taste crap, but they’re definitely not served hot, which is quite a disappointment. By the time you get to the last bite the burger is damn cold and it’s not as if I eat slowly.
When we got up to leave a guy walked in and took our seat, before we had even officially left the table. Okay, guess that’s not so strange, and typical to a place that doesn’t cue their guests or seat them, but what happened next was a bit unsettling.
As Amelia and I get to the Scooter, where we had parked in front of Steers, the guy picks up our serviettes and looked underneath them. The thought of someone looking at our plates where we just had food, obviously looking for something to eat is heart wrenching, but what happens next is simply gross. The guy takes the lid off one of the bottles of Steer sauce still on the table and takes a swig, not one but a few, out of more than one bottle.
It’s sad to see that someone is hungry and needs to resort to that, but from a business and health perspective Steers should be looking out for it’s brand and it’s customers and simply paying attention to their front door.
Unsettled, I walk back into Steers and alert them to the situation, and the man was asked to leave.
Needless to say, Amelia and I didn’t feel as well as we did when we arrived.
After leaving the wedding we took a drive through to Wazeer’s birthday party at Ob’s house in Rheebok.
Ziyaad and Parveen went all out with the catering and their was still some great tasting pudding left, that we gladly indulged in.
I made OB and myself some coffee, using his awesome Siemens Espresso Machine, i could so do with one of these at home and the office.
The youngsters decided to go out clubbing, so Amelia, Parveen and I, after finishing our coffee with OB hit the road back to George.
Wow, what a fun night…
Leigh and Velizar had a really cool wedding, that they organised on their own.
The reception, held at By Grace Alone, was awesome. The venue has a medieval theme, with suites of armour, a moat and the whole castle effect. The power even went out for part of the evening, so we sat in candle light, experiencing the true personality of the venue.
We were seated as if we were at a royal banquet. The food, which was aplenty was really good. My favourite was the pumpkin fritters with caramel sauce, which i had more than enough helpings of.
The meal was rounded up with some interesting berry and chocolate mouse pudding.
The dancing then began, with young and old enjoying the some classics.
With the wedding drawing closer, Leigh and Velizar had their Bachelor and Bachelorette parties tonight…
The Girls all went to Far Hills Hotel, for a night of nails and dressing up, while the guys had a get together at the Prezens’ house with lots of beer.
I dropped Amelia off at Far Hills Hotel at about 16:00. I had work to do so, I stayed at the office till about 19:00 then carried on with some work at home.
The two parties met up at Cactus and I joined up soon after.
Amelia and I decided to have the legendary Cactus Pizza we always have there with; chicken, avo, garlic and feta.
Leigh-Ann was so funny, she was dressed up with a shirt saying bride, a white fluffy boa and a tiara. She must have had a lot to drink cause she had this glazed look in her eyes and was being so funny. She stole a few pieces of avo off our pizza, it was totally hilarious.
I am sure that they are all going to have funny stories to tell us at the wedding, not to mention some serious hangovers tomorrow.
