mahnmutI want to congratulate Spain for winning the World Cup! They're the worthy world champions, no question about that. My boys did their best, they played beyond their abilities even, and for a time it looked like they could win this one. It wasn't meant to be. Oh well. Next time I hope. The disappointment is enormous, but facts are facts. Nevertheless, the final match, although it wasn't exactly representative of the beauty of this game, was a huge event for me and I enjoyed every single minute of it! Largely thanks to the amazing public and most of all my good friends who are a really cheerful bunch. Hats down, lads!
Now life is slowly returning to normal here, but I can sense it - the way the world will be seeing South Africa from now on won't be the same again. And I mean it in a deeply positive way.
On a side note, LOL @ the entire PF board being in total denial about their own shortcomings, and that, after having asked for feedback about the reasons their comm has been practically dead for eons. Rofl. Mao.
Weird day for me tomorrow, I expect. I'm joining a group of municipality guys who are gonna meet with some 'delegation', including the Canadian consul. They wanted to visit a township in Joburg, and Alex has been selected (that's my working area). I think they're planning to deliver some speech there or something, and I'm supposed to be one of the Zulu-English interpreters if need be. The shitty thing is, I was only given a rough sketch of what they're going to discuss without getting the details in advance and I'm basically in the dark. I now have crazy butterflies in my stomach...
