Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I think that can be arranged. ;)

Just packing my stuff now. Unfortunately I wasn't able to add to my wardrobe as Weird Fish (where I buy most of my T shirts) has closed down. In fact there seems to be a lot of boarded up shops on the main street that I hadn't noticed previously. :( Rob said that clothes are very cheap in S Africa and the aparthotel we're staying in for the first 3 days is above a big shopping mall. Sorted. I've actually managed to find 6 shirts that look OK so it isn't a problem given I'll be spending 90% of the time in shorts and T shirts.

Enjoy mate I’m sure you will, my better half lived in Cape Town for 10 yrs back in the day, she loved it,big changes now but still a great place to visit as she still has friends there.

Happy New Year all. @Barnfred 55 have an amazing time. I'm just signing off work until next Thursday- apart from overtime on Saturday. (I started writing this ages ago then forgot to post it) Tomorrow is gym, hair and nails.
It's freezing here- we've had frost all day.The skies are beautifully clear though. Very starry night.
I think I've got all the certificates I need to get on the Register Of Foreign births. I just need to get my photo taken and ID verified. Then once I've done that I can apply for an Irish passport.
It was quite sad looking at my Granny's death certificate. She got run over on Ullet Road. She got off a bus, went to cross the road and got hit by a car. It was completely her fault - she just walked out in front of the car. I was 14 at the time. She was 69. Reading the injuries listed as the cause of death was very sad.
We're off to Belfast on Sunday which I am very excited about. I've even hired a car , which for some reason is making me feel like a mature, sensible adult. 🤣
Have a lovely night - loads of pics please Fred and don't forget to set your alarm!

That’s truly awful and so sad. Must have been terrible time for you all.

Afternoon everyone, hope @Barnfred 55 has got off on time, it sounds like it, and like everyone else I’m looking forward to hearing about the holiday. I wonder if we’ll get a Friday night “cheers” tonight?
I’ve just applied for tickets for the test events at Bramley Moore and keeping my fingers crossed that we are successful in the ballot for 17th February one as it is my husband’s birthday! What a present that would be.
Spent the morning taking down the Christmas decorations, always feel sad to do this as the house feels so empty.
Still no snow here, in fact its nice and sunny at the moment.
Enjoy your Friday all 💙

It would be fitting, right and proper if you got the tickets to the test event Val but I thought £100 per ticket for an U18s game was a bit steep myself 😂.

Yes agree house looks empty , everything came down here yesterday. Had a good clean today , it's amazing how many pine needles and earth is shed by the trees.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,, oh maybe not we are playing tomorrow.

£100 per ticket 😂, the princely sum of £2.50 for Mr. P. Of course I’ll buy him something else as well 😂
