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.

Leigh and Velizar’s Wedding at By Grace Alone

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.

DJ Set – Wedding at Kwelanga Lodge

The wedding kicked off at about 16:40, followed by photos with the reception starting at about 17:40.

Beverages flowed a plenty and the party was on, had requests from Shakin’ Stevens & Bob Marley through to Tiesto and Pit Bull. Finished off the night with some slow jams and drinks at the bar.

The food was really good and the chef made the biggest tiramisu I have seem in my life, and it tasted awesome.
