Wildlife!!

Let me introduce you too Max, my dog, his a little over a year now and is a Boer-bull x Rhodesian ridge back, which makes for a rather large mutt.
He has a very gentle nature but will certainly let people know his around if they try to get to close to our garden and house. Thankfully he doesn’t bark at the slightest thing un-like a lot of dogs around here.
Max can be a handful at times, particularly when he chews the wicker furniture given to us by Louise’s folks, but largely his growing into a lovely dog as he leaves his puppy days and troubles behind him.


Louise has two Siamese cats, one of which I can see in the garden (she’s probably coming back from hunting!).

Their names are Tessa and Pippa. Both come from our local S.P.C.A. which is quite incredible, as I wouldn’t have expected breed cats like these to be in an animal rescue place like that.
They are both very lovely and give Louise incredible joy. Tessa has really taken to me and Max, but Pippa clearly longs for Louise and has to have regular times on her lap.
They both like to hunt in the garden and the plot next door and will often bring home there spoils. The picture here shows one such creature, the funny thing is, when they catch chameleons they never really know what to do with them and I end up having to take the poor things to a local rescue place for chameleons.



So now you’ve met some of the family.


I really hope you're enjoying my blog.

God bless ya.

Went to the movies

Wow, what a great film?

Louise and I went through to PE on Saturday and were griped by the non-stop action of the latest Bourne movie.

If you haven't seen this film yet and you like edge of your seat action then what are you waiting for. I don't want to give any of the plot away but let me say that some of the gaps are filled, you will understand what I mean after watching the film. Matt Damon for me has been great in the three films and has grown as an actor. The fact that he isn't your Bruce Willis or some of the other action hero's from the big screen makes the charter 'Jason Bourne' more real.

If you love non-stop action with some great fight scenes and chase scenes, your going to love this. For me this third installment has been the best.

Anyone who has read the Bourne books by Robert Ludlum will soon see that this film doesn't follow the third book but this isn't a bad thing for me as I like the young Jason Bourne who is very capable of taking care of himself.

The film will take you all over the world in particular, to London which was nice for Louise and I as we got to see some familiar places. I think I even saw a Northern Line Train (I'm so pleased I'm not driving them anymore)!

Is their anything that I didn't enjoy about the movie?

Only that this may well be the last of the Bourne films, but who knows?

Our weekend ended up being a busy one with one thing or another. We are hosting a young couple in our home next weekend who are coming to Jeffrey's Bay with a view of becoming our Churches associate Pastor, so Louise and I have been moving beds and taking time to get ready for there coming.

We are having friends for dinner tonight (i hope they taste good!). Louise has made a very nice looking spag-bol, YUMMY. As is becoming a custom in our house, I'm sure we will introduce some un-suspecting newbies to the delights of our 'wanted game'. Ouch!

Thanks for reading. If any of you get to see, 'The Bourne Ultimatum' please let me know what you thought about it. I hope that you enjoy it as much as Louise and I did.

The Bourne Ultimatum

Well at last one of my favorite films has its third episode in 'The Bourne Ultimatum'. I understand that this film isn't following the book but promises to be another exciting film.
Louise and I are going to see it on Saturday when we visit Port Elizabeth. I for one am really looking forward to seeing the film, it's been some years since the last episode (The Bourne supremacy) came out.
I'll update my blog with my thoughts on the film later.
It would be interesting to hear from any of my readers what films they've seen lately and whether they were enjoyed, please include why you did or didn't enjoy them.

Louise and I are really enjoying having a faster internet connection. We've talked about how fast the internet was when we were in the UK. When we first arrived in SA we had to go back to 56k dail up!! But i have to say a credit to SA is that it has seen the need for better internet for the people and have quickly made things better and more affordable. I think this has to be a big thanks to the Government and not Telkom the interesting phone company.

So in closing, the weekend promises to be a good one, I think that Friday we are going to get together with Louise's folks and are going to go out for a 'Spur' dinner.... COOL!
