Richard Scott Blog - 3rd December 2023

I am sitting here at 11am on Sunday morning and only starting my weekly blog now. Where has the week gone. Friday was 1 December which was weird. The week went by so quickly I will need to check my phones photo to see what I got up to this week. I do know it was Black Friday weekend and that went well. We made good sales on Shopify. One thing I do remember is Joanne and myself running every day this week. 7 days in a row. We're getting our summer bodies on. It's also load shedding so I am not sure if my laptop battery will last 4 hours. Some of you that read this probably don’t even know what it feels like to have load shedding. We are so used to it but it does catch you out now and again.

This weeks old photo is of me when I was around 18 or so. I used to cut my hair in a flat top because I was a proper SKA fan. My favorite band at the time was Madness and The Specials and Selector and The Beat. Well my sister used to cut my hair. In the background is a collage I made. I used to love making them out of magazines. There was a guy in Eastgate shopping center that used to do weird cut out art with paint. I remember watching him for ages in the window while my mom and dad went shopping.

Me and my FLAT TOP

Ok, so this week went fast but Sunday is dragging. Joanne just commented that she feels flat. I do to. So I’m gonna do the rest of the week in pictures if that’s ok and go chill on the couch after I go outside and light the braai as we're having a pool/braai day.

Joanne and I chilling on the couch enjoying the sun.

Someone sent me this cool pic in the week.

Joanne and I decided to have crayfish and prawn cocktails for supper Wednesday night.

Angelina popped in Saturday afternoon to use the house as a photo shoot backdrop for her Matric Dance photos. She's growing up to be a beautiful young woman.

Proud Dad.
