Just in case you're lurking again, have a super glorious, wonderful day, old duck!!

My dream of owning and riding my own HD has finally been realised. Having been a pillion rider for years, the time had come. After a few dissapiontments from not being at the right place at the right time, THE one only became available a few days ago. Now she's mine. And she's beautiful. And she rides like a dream.

I haven't been around for a while for various reassons but now I need your expert advise. We're having friends over from Switzerland, who have visited us here many times over the past 30 years. They're going to be staying with us but we've done PTA...and let's face it....there's not much going on here!

I hope you have a great day! Happy, happy!! *MWAH*

K is 19 and has been in Moz for the past 2 months working on a construction site in Macaneta. The project has been going well. He’s made friends with the locals, getting involved in sporting activities at the local primary school. The people are very poor but always have a smile on their faces. No crime, no bullshit, at all.

Heather* is a 19 year old who loves children. For the past 3 years, she has dedicated herself to helping a children’s home. Every day after school, she would spend at least 2 hours helping the kids with their homework, playing with the babies and generally helping out. She became an invaluable and well loved part of the “team”.

I spend a good deal of my day in from of this infernal machine. Over the past few days I've been slowly but surely loosing my patience with this PC.

Have you packed your toothbrush? Your shaving stuff? Did you remember to buy batteries for your torch? How many pairs of socks do you think youll need? Remember that if you get gippo-guts, only take ONE Immodium. The mosquitos up there are going to eat you alive. Dont you want me to buy you a net? And for Gods sake, do your washing every Sunday.

Random question - don't ask why but I need to know. Does anyone know what the "pans" on the scales are called? Do they have a particular name or just "weighing pans"?

This will be your how-mayith Argus? Good luck to you and Mr Muffin. Hope to see some nice pics taken en route like last year!

My youngest turned 19 yesterday. We gave him a choice at the end of last year. Number 1 - go to varsity, we buy him a car and he get stuck into his studies. Number 2 take a gap year, work where ever and pay your own way. No brainer. He chose number 2.

Wishing you all the good things in life. I hope you were spoiled rotten today!
