Just being me.

Yesterday our godchild was christened. I had the opportunity to fly to Pretoria for the event and it was such a beautiful, love-filled ceremony…

Posing for photos was not Willie jnr’s idea of fun and he looks miserable on most photos … but here are the happy family and a very proud godmother ;O)

Of course the day just wouldn’t have been complete without some chaos and at about 16:55 it happened.
I used a friend’s car and when I dropped off his car, he took me to the airport using his other car.
After I checked in I wanted to send Neil an sms with my flight information and …… NO cellphone. I emptied my handbag on the table and then it hit me. “Paul, I left my phone in your other car!”
Well, with an hour to spare (I had to board the plane at 17:55) we ran to his car, raced to his house (on the other side of Johannesburg !), found my cellphone, raced back to the airport …. I jumped out of his car and started running through Domestic Departures towards my plane.
Boy, did THAT bring back memories !! I just thought “If it went smoothly , well, it just wouldn’t be ME!”
But, I actually got to the boarding gate with 5 minutes to spare and I could relax. In the end we waited 25 minutes for 5 passengers and our flight was delayed anyway. But, at least it was no fault of mine !

On this day, she went through two flights. The one flying back to Cape town and the other one back to my other car to get her cell and to the airport again. So actually 3 flights :-). Ha Ha, not really that bad. I am just glad we made it in time safely. Keep up the blog, it helps keeping in touch ... Keep well, Paul :-)
