<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">WOW!!!! Where do I even begin??? Everything in my life has changed so drastically and so completely!!! Nothing, and I do mean, absolutely nothing, is the same!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think it's all good though?? Or at least it will be in a while from now!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">You see, it all started back in August when Hubby was made an offer that was just too good to be true!!! At first we didn't even consider it, it was that ridiculous!!! After all we just moved into a brand new house!!! And leaving my family??? No-no, I wouldn't even consider it!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But it became a nag in the back of our minds and we found ourselves, (hubby, me and the girls) discussing it more and more....!!!! Then we got excited about it and when we looked again, we found ourselves planning this new adventurous life of ours!!!! In Tanzania!!!! Yes that's right, Tanzania!!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Starting date: 1st September 2014!!!!! Madness I tell you!!!! And all of this had to happen in just 3 short weeks!!! Chaos!!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The removal company came out and packed us in 3 days!!! I didn't think it would be possible, but they did a sterling job and just like that all our belongings went into storage!!! After 6 months we will either have it shipped up to Tanzania or leave it in storage 'till we have a place of our own!!! For now though, a fully furnished house will do just fine, thank you very much!!!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The only down side to this adventure is that at first we had to split up!!! Hubby and Miss Molly left first and 2 days later our animals were shipped over!!! Little Miss J and I stay behind at my sister Margaret's place for a couple of months so that she can finish her degree (thankfully this is her last year) here in South-Africa!!!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">And that's the part that has me feeling lost!!! My heart is in Tanzania but we are still here!!! I don't have any of my "things" around me, nothing to do, and I feel vulnerable without my Hubby!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">But right now, he is having the time of his life!!! He is on a 10 day trip to Mount Kilimanjaro!!! I can hear that he is having a great time!!! Being the wildlife person he is, this is the ultimate experience for him!!!! To see the wildlife truly roaming freely in mass, is what he's been longing to see all of his life!!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But on the other hand, Miss Molly had to stay behind in Dar es Salaam and is fighting a nasty spider bite!!! She has been quite ill with it and this morning got into a taxi and took herself to a clinic where she was treated and given medication!!! I am so proud of her, all alone in a strange country, but managing just fine without us!!! Most importantly, she is feeling much, much better already!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So you see, I haven't forgotten about you and a big thank you to all who emailed to ask where I have been!!! Right now I am visiting with my sisters, Margaret and Zennet in Johannesburg and I am really enjoying being able to see them every day!!!! They actually also helped made up our minds for us, you see they reckoned that is't much easier for them to fly 3.5 hours than driving 6 or 7 hours to come visit!!! And of course being so close to Zanzibar also helped the matter a lot!!! Haha!!!</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But it's not that easy to fit into the city life when you have been a farm girl nearly all of your life!!!!! The nights are noisy with the sound of traffic and not dead quiet with just the cry of a jackal or an owl hooting somewhere!!! I also miss the beautiful sunsets and I really, really miss seeing the stars!!!! The city sky is so bright at night from all the lights, you simply do not see the stars!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> My Beautiful <b>BRAVE</b> Sister....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last Thursday night...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My sister Zennet and niece Shani, both work in the city of Johannesburg. And on their way home from work last Thursday night, her car broke </span><span style="font-size: large;">down!!! </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">A new car, but still, (and these things happen right) it broke down!!! But it broke down in the worst possible place!!! On the freeway next to a township!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A very,very bad, bad place!!! And true to form, minutes later, they were attacked!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First he smashed the driver's (Shani) window, and it shatters but doesn't break!!! Then he walked around to the passenger side (Zennet) and threw a rock through her window and of course, the window breaks and the glass and rock hits her in the face!!! Immediately he grabs her.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But he couldn't possibly have foreseen what happened next!!! He must have thought to himself, two helpless woman, an easy, soft target!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Zennet threw the window back out at him and then... SHE attacked!!!! Armed with her pepper spray and the will to survive and protect herself and Shani, she fought and fought and fought!!! He came back at her 3 times but she fought him off each time!!! She pepper sprayed the "living crap" out of him, 'till he crawled away in defeat (and hopefully in a lot of pain!!!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Battered, bruised, cut and bleeding, help finally arrived for them!!! But by then he was gone too!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She just decided that she could not allow him to get to them and that she was not going to become just another victim or statistic</span><span style="font-size: large;">!!!! So she fought for her life and that of Shani's!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> My Beautiful BRAVE Sister!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I Love You Endlessly!!!! And I am so very very proud of you!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>ps</u>: I have probably written and rewritten this post a dozen times!!!

But at least one </span>#*@$*&^<span style="font-size: large;"> got what he deserved!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They were crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside and the sweetness of the jam with the savoury, cheesy muffin was just soooooo yummy!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Would you like to try them? Its so easy....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 cups cake flour, 15ml baking powder, 5 ml salt, 1 cup buttermilk, 100ml oil, 1xl egg, 2 cups of cheddar cheese - mix all together and spoon into muffin pans - top with cheese and bake at 200degrC for 15-20min. That's it!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next time I think I might add some chives and bacon pieces!!!...maybe...it was quite perfect just like this!!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">... folding your hands around a steaming cup of hot chocolate and feeling the warmth of it seep down to your little toe...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... sitting in front of a roaring fire, sipping old brown sherry and listening to the wind and rain lashing down outside...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... feeling the warmth and weight of a beloved granny square blanket while you lie snug and warm in his arms...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... going shopping in a gorgeous trench coat and beautiful leggings...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... long hot soaking ('till there's no more hot water) bubble baths with my favourite book and a bottle of champers...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... game nights with family and friends and a 'hot' pot of chicken curry...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... crocheting a beautiful warm blanket in front of the telly... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">and so crochet and curry is about the only thing that is still on, only now it has become 'mild' instead of 'hot' (it's just a taste bud</span><span style="font-size: large;"> thing that came with age - use to love the hot stuff but not so much anymore) curry!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, as you can see, winter is not my favourite season!!! We are so not geared for cold weather! We build our houses to be comfortable in long hot summers, so right now it is actually warmer outside than inside!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although temperatures do plummet at night, and sometimes to well below zero but as soon as the sun comes out, it warms up to the mid 20 deg C!!! So you start your day all dressed up and by 9am you already start removing the layers of clothing!! Hubby almost never wears long pants!! The only difference between summer and winter for him is a T-Shirt under his shirt!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And then if that's not enough the whole world around you becomes a fire hazard as well!!! Daytime hours are so short, you go to work in the dark and then you come home in the dark!!! Last night, mid June, we still slept with our fan on!!! Under the covers but with the fan on!!! Who can enjoy a winter like that??!! No!!! It's almost like an 'almost winter'!!! Do you know what I mean?? It must either be really cold or not!!! Not start cold, then warm up and even get to mildly hot and then cool again at night!!! No thank you!!!</span><br />

And I am sooooo looking forward to Summer when my world will once again look like this!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Big:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This week also saw the arrival of more giraffes!!! And this one was so curious about his new home, not fazed by anything or anyone!!! Usually they dash away but this one little guy was so amazingly calm and relaxed!!! When the doors opened he calmly walked out and just looked at everything around him!!!</span><br />

Some </span><span style="font-size: large;">antelopes</span><span style="font-size: large;"> are referred to as cows and bulls or rams and ewes!!! I think it has to do with the size of the animal, for example: an </span><span style="font-size: large;">small sized buck like an </span><span style="font-size: large;">Impala is called a ram and ewe, and a Kudu, </span><span style="font-size: large;">a large sized buck is called a </span><span style="font-size: large;">bull and a cow, Nyala being a quite a large antelope!!! Sorry!!!! I should have been a little clearer on that one!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I really thought that this was going to be a wonderful THING!!! The end to all our communication problems!!! That there would always be an internet signal!!! The satellite phone works just fine!!!! So why not the internet???!!! </span><span style="font-size: large;">What is so different from a phone signal and a data signal??!! Why must there be all these little niggly frustrations and teething problems before it works??!!!! I have never felt so isolated before!!! But soon, soon?, all of these little problems will be of the past - or so I am told!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aahh!!! Now I feel better!!! Always good to vent a little, isn't it?!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The exams are over and I think little Miss J did just fine!!! Results will be made available 13th December!!! And after just a week, she's already bored at home!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well dear friends, that's all from me for now!!! See you soon!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Love</span><br />

And just a little help....<span style="font-size: large;">Hello - Hello</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Boy!!!, have we been busy this week!!! Preparing for the wedding this coming weekend - an ongoing project 'till the very last minutes on Saturday I am sure, a 21st Birthday and the final year end exams!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But there's been very welcome and time saving help as well!!! Help that came unexpectedly and brought many ooh's and aah's and a few relaxing moments with a well deserved cup of coffee in hand while watching them "mow" the lawn!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First there was one....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPJDDnvBG7JKpNCBhUjlqPYJPhQp3vAUeigTDcxbNPTaA-ON1ad6dsISmT8Gs5X4-wXt0l-60KM8uLheKDRvnDkMFxzZYYIQbXlr9gOAdRIYJSLJWxOgX-SnanC-MxVIGDmCCo3mqGsECJ/s1600/IMG_3971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPJDDnvBG7JKpNCBhUjlqPYJPhQp3vAUeigTDcxbNPTaA-ON1ad6dsISmT8Gs5X4-wXt0l-60KM8uLheKDRvnDkMFxzZYYIQbXlr9gOAdRIYJSLJWxOgX-SnanC-MxVIGDmCCo3mqGsECJ/s640/IMG_3971.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then two....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFj_44nbD6i3PeZt4rRQz_TUQOYlZAbXqnW4uiEo62zGmYTo_2iPqrlaFSFUTzSj_X2qUzVcm8F1FnKAdw1mqS_TGdVCvpBdbiX9ZECXb2FGYDSjPDro53WuWDFXzjNj1alH95kaRGdbsc/s1600/IMG_3983.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFj_44nbD6i3PeZt4rRQz_TUQOYlZAbXqnW4uiEo62zGmYTo_2iPqrlaFSFUTzSj_X2qUzVcm8F1FnKAdw1mqS_TGdVCvpBdbiX9ZECXb2FGYDSjPDro53WuWDFXzjNj1alH95kaRGdbsc/s640/IMG_3983.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And finally there were three....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Beautiful Nyala cows!!! In broad daylight!!! They didn't seem to be worried by us at all and after about 2 hours, when the lawn was neatly "mowed" and they had a good drink from the dogs water bowl they simply jumped over the wall again and moved on!!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!!! So cute, isn't it??!!!! Love it!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One job ticked off hubby's list of things to do!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then there was a big birthday!!! </span><span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday my youngest turned 21!!!! Oh where has the time gone??!!!! I remember the day she was born like it was just yesterday!!!!! A Guy Fawkes </span><span style="font-size: large;">baby!!! And really there were fireworks going off everywhere!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">She had a very quiet day.....studying!!!!! Yes it's that time again!!! Year-end finals!!!! And even worse, she wrote TWO subjects the day after her birthday!!! She wanted no distractions with cake and crowds but there will definitely be celebrations after the exams!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She really has a terrible exam roster!!! 2 subjects on the 6th Nov, then one on the 12th Nov, one on the 14 and one on the 15th Nov!!! So for the next week and a bit we'll be driving 80km in and 80km back, mostly late afternoons!!! Then, she'll be done with her 2nd year and maybe she can have a little break!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to go now but let me leave you with this beautiful sunset from last night!!! It looked so promising for rain but sadly there was none!!!</span><br />

They were a little weary at first and quite scared of all the new smells but they soon settled down nicely!!!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last night, as we sat down for supper, there was a power outage!!! No problem!!! At least supper was cooked!!! So we lit a candle!!! Nice!!! Supper at candle light!!! But an hour later, the candlelight dinner was done, the geyser was cold and so were we!!! Cold and very bored!!! We were all packed up ready for the big move tomorrow and there truly was nothing to do!!! Only the very bare essential were out!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So we played a game and I was surprised at how little we actually knew about each others favorite things!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought it would make a great post, a way for you to get to know me a little better!!! It was sooooo hard to just choose one thing, I just had to tell you about my 2 favorite things......A - Z ....!!!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So hey, make yourself a cuppa, relax and enjoy a few of my favourite things!!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I honestly have no idea what type of skeleton it is!!!! I have google searched every animal's skeleton that has ever been on this farm and found no match!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have image searched (uploaded this photo to google image and searched) and found no match!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It has a very long neck, but it is definitely not a baby giraffe!!! Giraffes have 2 small horns and a long jaw bone!!!! </span><span style="font-size: large;">There are no horns to identify it from!!! </span><span style="font-size: large;">No big teeth!!! It looks really old as well!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have no idea where Dozer got it from!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And boy, he was so proud!!! It was quite a job to take these photos!!! He was convinced that we wanted to take it from him!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dozer you Dozy Dog you!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is our last weekend here on this farm!!! Next week we have to say goodbye to our old home and I am already an emotional mess!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!! Be happy!!! Have fun!!! And make something!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> .... and this is where the giraffe comes in..... These are the seed pods of a camel thorn tree and if you put 2 of them together like this, it looks almost exactly like the spoor of a giraffe!!! Really it does!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And because the canopy is quite high, mostly giraffes eat the top leaves of this tree, and the seedpods, well that's quite a different story!!!! Everything eats them!!! It is loved by all game, cattle, everything and the donkeys looooove it and believe it or not, even my dogs eat it!!!! Crazy dogs!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now you can see why I am so envious of your lovely green gardens and the very green pathways you walk on!!!! Winter here is very bleak and depressing and when the last rainy season didn't bring our usual rain, it's even worse!!!! We have been in a drought now for more than 4 years!!!! The sand here is like beach sand but even that is turning into powder right now and the wind is just relentless!!! Sandstorms are a daily thing and really terrible!!! The dust gets in everywhere!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sooo, enjoy your green and colorful surroundings and make the most of your warm summer days!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Love</span><br />
