Last night some of the saarchitect members came over to my house for a braai. What fun it was. Some folks who did say they will come, did not show up. This is Cape Town, so it is to be expected. I will not rant about it, I will accept it, I will know that they are messing with their own Karma and they missed one heck of a party!

I am going to stay in bed all day, so that I don't have to look at the dishes staring at me, begging to be washed. They can wait. The kids can eat the leftover meat and I can dream of having a digital camera.

Why now? Because I only ever get to see the photos later. I don't get the opportunity to “embarras” Ruari or Roaan with pics that I have taken.

A digital camera will also solve the problem of people asking me what my kids look like. No, I do not carry pics of my children in my wallet. I only have old photos of them. I can never eternalise some of the funny moments. I think I will also take photos of them when they are fighting, to show it to them afterwards. That should teach them...

Now I will just have to dream on. My salary covers all the bare necessities. There is no small change for a camera. I'll just have to rely on others to post the pics of last night ASAP...
