Weekend Fulfillment

Where do i start....
My Aunts birthday was one good night. Got to have a good old fashioned shin-dig with my cousins who i have not seen in a while. Some hubbly was smoked and a lot of time was spent chatting around the fire. I hit the sack at about 2:30am only to awake at half 5 for my next adventure...

I picked up peter the mussel eater in Gtown and then headed off to meet up with Stoffel in Westville. The we hit the South Coast high way till we hit Umzumbe. Checked the surf and then Giffy made his entrance in a style only Giffy could, with 6 cold black labels. The surf was not too great but fun would be the word. Then we waited for the rest to arrive. They came at different intervals and then eventually the party got under way. One of the many highlights would be Giffy crashing his bike shortly followed by Dane going over the handlebars into his own car. A great little jam took place with Ryan, Dane and me. With the highlight being Peter ejecting his dinner and doing things that i am not too keen to repeat. The night ended somehow I can't remeber...

We woke up and checked the surf to be greated with favourable conditions. Stu and Wesley arrived and we hit the water. Too much fun. Little left and right jems breaking on some shallow rock. After a long and healthy surf a much needed chill period ensuied until we went for an afternoon surf at the point in some less than average waves.
The night was a heavy one. We ran out of booze, so a lot of theft went down. The we tried to hit up the Mantis and Moon, only to be turned around as we arrived. Who would not turn away a bunch of drunks led by giffy dressed like a rockstar wearing sunglasses at midnight who addressed the manager in German when he clearly was a Portugeus speaker.

Monday greated us with some super fun waves again. We had Granti in the water with us too. After a decent surf a solid game of one bounce went down. Craig and Stu definately took the cake. The drinking started early again after a quick stock up trip.
Drinking games where the flavour of the final night. And way too many of them. Which is the reason why I had the savage hangover that I did on the final morning for the pack up and departure.
A long drive back to the district was fueled by KFC and conve from Pete and Craig.
Well i can't really say i am glad to be home. But i was happy to not have to travel anymore.
So another good one goes down.

Weekend Promises

So I am excited to say the least.
Got another large one lined up this weekend. Starting in the small stronghold that is Greytown for my Aunt's birthday. A nice family occasion.
Then heading off down the south coast for some good times. We got the Umzumbe cottage loaded to the rafters so things should get interesting. Hopefully some waves.
I will keep you posted

lazy

So I have been a bit lazy with this thing. Procrastination is the one constant in my life. So what have I been doing? well....

Friday: Work is work and I don't like talking about it and I'm sure you don't like hearing about it. So moving on...... Durban blew my mind on the weekend!! Drove up as early as I could and popped into Stoffels house to see his new snake absolutely savage an innocent little rat. Like discovery channel in front of your face! The I swung round Wendy's place and saw Boychamp who has been in Capetown for the past month. So we chilled hard then went for a messy heavy wave at town with Stuart. Then we hit up the Winston pub to watch Gonzo Republic and the Shadowclub with a few of the friends. What a fun little gig! I got a bit blackout on 3 quarts...... Must be all the running...... And then we made our way home by way of a rather quick car ride with Megan. Tried to watch a movie..... don't know why.

Saturday: Woke up with a bad case of pirate mouth. Then hopped in a car with the champ. North was fun to say the least. Solid 4-6ft and farely clean. Was so good to see some of the gents turning heads out there. Stu, Boychamp and Tickner where my pick of the bunch. So I had a few fun ones and then after a few severe beat downs I decided my mourning of boogie sliding was done.
The evening started off calm. We did the boetjie thing and watched the rugby. then we went over to Wessels's place and had a few beers with the residents there. Then we set off to the Willovale for round 2 of the Shadowclub madness! they blew my mind once again! I got a bit sweaty in the circle and the bumped into an old face at the bar. The rest of the night is a blur of chatting and music. Once again quarts got me..... oh yes and did I say that I got in
for FREEEEEE!

Sunday: Oh the pain....... we were too late for the beach, so we had some food. KFC. Then I had the long drive back to Gtown. Which was made easier by the music. And that was the end of my weekend. Tired, broke and back in Greytown. Life is good..
