In between

The week before

After the massive party of last weekend it was time for a quiet week, the usual monday night quiz left most of us feeling pretty stupid.... again..... For those of you who claim to be quiz buffs, here is one for you... What was the original capital of the Orange Free State? No googling now... although granted it did take us about 30 minutes of trawling google to find the answer.... see end of post for answer. Some of the british questions still get us, but on the whole we're not doing too badly and improving on a weekly basis.
Saturday morning rolls around and it's off to Wimbledon Village Stables for the first installment of my fantastic birthday present from Kev.... Outrides... yes, they are on horseback. A beautiful sunny morning with little wind and cantering alongside a golf course... few things are as pretty. Although i'm probably going to be as stiff as a plank on Monday it was worth it.
After a warm shower it's off to watch the GP qualifying at Grant's place and afterwards looking at funny internet sites and putting away a few beers.... a fairly early night considering and then another early morning accompanied by toasted sandwiched and much coke. GP started and it looked somewhat like amatuer hour on the track with most of the big names sticking themselves into walls or just blowing an engine.
Another pub quiz monday night where we will be missing one from the team as Kate heads home for grad and a bit of sun.... hopefully we'll do well

(answer: Windburg was the original capital of the OFS.... how many of you got that?)
