Africa mood
Saturday mood....my Africa mood!! In 7 days....I'm on my continent!! and then my country! South Africa!! No other place in the world is as good as "my" place...South Africa!! Don't try and argue with me...then it shows that you haven't been there! haha!! you better go there....and you would like to go and stay there....
This movie..."Out of Africa" is just a MUST! Robert Redford and Meryl Streep...
"I had a farm in Africa...on the foot of the Ngong Hills....." This is how the movie starts.....and once upon a time..."I" also had a farm....in South Africa.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngong_Hills

Stressed out!
I think we are all a bit stressed out at school! hahaha...it is a typical sign of end-of-year...so much going on...actually ...too much...i think i'm getting fed-up, because i can't do in my class what i really want to do...and that is to have a bit of FUN!
Our PPA for the afternoon was cancelled...and i couldn't have the fun in the afternoon which i planned, because the leavers' practise took place later...so we were kind of waiting to be called....and nobody called at the time they were supposed to call us....only much later...what a waste...but...we didn't mind really, because we finished off our memory booklets.
Tomorrow another busy day, we have to practise our presentation for Wednesday in the Tower! And i plan an ICT project, to use PAINT.NET and to create our own pictures in the style of Hockney.... today's Seurat was a total lost with the "waiting.." What a shame, so much good time going lost... but anyway...there is always something else that needs to be done...and i think i'm still in a red mood!
This is a view in the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa! Beautiful!!
And...I'm in a purple mood too! That is close enough to red...lol!
This is a street in Pretoria! In Spring,,,,,,October, the city is covered in Jacaranda blossoms.....that is the time when students write exams...and fall in love!
Pretoria is also called the "Jacaranda city"... because of all the Jacaranda trees in the streets...really a beautiful scene during October/November.
And I have now a new mouse, it seems to me that the other one was the cause of all my problems on the chess site!
Hmmm...i like these purple colours...my favourite colour!
And Red,...another favourite colour...

South African stamps
These stamps were brought out to commemorate certain events...or people/animals ...the first one is our well-known artist...one of many....

Rock-painting...beautiful art!
Wolraad Woltemade...a very brave person who gave his life to save people from a wrecked ship...he went into the sea...7 times and lost his own life...!
Follow link here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolraad_Woltemade

Quote of the day
Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
