Quarter Century

Today I reach a quarter century, damn has it been that long. It’s nice to be typing this on my Dell and not my old Acer, it’s amazing what a different experience it is working on a new computer. I hope that I can write about my next birthday on a MacBook Pro or at least sitting at a proper desk in a nice comfy chair, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

The past twenty five years have been full of learning and a lot of work, not always doing stuff I wanted to but nonetheless earning some money and learning about business and dealing with issues and people. This year looks promising and I’m excited about all of the opportunities that lie ahead both personally and for MyEcommerce.

Amelia and I started off the day in a mad rush to get ready for Daniel and Marile’s wedding. For some bizarre reason, weddings always seem to invoke a form of natural chaos, even if it’s not your own wedding. The day was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, they had their service at the Moederkerk and their reception at one of the halls at Saasveld. The food was cool and they had the most awesome pumpkin dumplings in a caramel sauce and some really great desert too. Amelia and I left the wedding stuffed and jealous.

I hope that by next birthday I’ll be driving something with four wheels and hopefully be closer towards achieving my endless list of goals.

DJ Set – 40th Birthday at Powell Farm

The ABBA themed, 40th Birthday party for Gregg Powell was hosted at the Powell Residence.

The night kicked off with drinks in the Powell pub at 18:00, and moved into the Decked out venue at about 19:00.

After dinner, there was a show of ABBA style dancing, with some convincing costumes, after which the dance floor was open. The party of 70, partied it up untill the earlier hours of the morning. Needless to say, many hangovers will be experienced by all.

Catering, Décor and choreography arranged by Tracey Powell, Gregg’s wife. Audio and lighting by AudioWorx. Placing by Uranium Studio.
