Nugget and Kanga



Wanderers Midlands Tour

This past weekend saw the Wanderers Mens' 1st, 2nd and Masters sides invade the Natal Midlands with hockey matches scheduled against Hilton College and Michaelhouse. I joined Cracka and the lads early Saturday morning and we moseyed through to Hilton for the scheduled match. A good result from all 3 teams with a high scoring ratio amongst some of the 'playas'.

The inevitable fines meeting later that afternoon saw the exhibition of some remarkable headgear. Special mention must go to Phil for his 'crab mousse' and Ann (can Ann can-can?) for their top drawer headgear efforts. Cracka made sure that there was serious consumption all round and tattyness & tigers prevailed.

Stix's 30th

Granny Stockles had a combined 30th birthday party last weekend at Cafe Ave in Greenside. Best, Mousey and I hit Cindrella's costume hire with serious intent on Sat morning to kit ourselves out with the appropriate 1920's Mafia fashion. Feather boa's, beads, headbands, fishnet stockings, the whole shebang! Perhaps I should just let the photos tell the story ...

Friend for Nugget



It was Cracka's birthday last week Monday, the old timer hit 32 without much celebration. As has been the plan all along, my present to him is a boerboel puppy - we pick her up this Wednesday. Hopefully this little girl will keep young Nugget distracted ... our garden and our socks are definitely starting to look a little worse for wear!
