New Adventures 27th – 4th

At the moment I'm working on a few blogs, some are going to be hopefully fairly interesting, like I'm working on one about the physiological connection to the mind / soul and sexual development as a result, which should be fun. However today is Thursday, which means New Adventures day, so take a look.

Friday

Friday night was a great night. Pierre’s parents were out of town so we headed over to his house for a good time. Evening started out really mellow, with Donovan and me driving through together. I took a wonderful bottle of red wine and a six pack of cider, expecting to have a major party, but things didn’t turn out as I had planned. When we got there everyone was playing Playstation, and just hanging out.

We had a few wonderful chats about all kinds of things before Kelly and Stacey got tired and went to sleep. Mike, Justin, Donovan, Pierre and I weren’t tired at all so we decided to stay up. Donovan and I tried to play some chess, but the board was a little weird and to be honest I didn’t really want to play. I had a lit up an apple hub and we all sat around staring at a fire and telling a few lame jokes.

I’m not sure how or who but someone suggested we get into the jacuzzi and hang out a little. While the water wasn’t really warm enough we decided to take the plunge and just get in. Not the best decision ever made but the water did eventually warm up and when it did things were great.

At about 3am, the jacuzzi still wasn’t quite warm enough and Pierre let it slip that he has a sauna in his house. That was the end of the jacuzzi for everyone as Donovan and I really wanted to experience the overwhelming warmth of steam.

There was one problem, our high noise volume had already woken Kelly and Stacey from their slumber, and as a result of the sauna being outside we decided that it would be an unwise decision to wake them again and we decided to return to the jacuzzi. When we found that the water hadn’t warmed up sufficiently we resolved to wait a few minutes until it had.

The water got to about 35 degrees before we got back in and it was wonderful. I opened my bottle of wine and we all had a glass while in the warm water. At this stage it was about 4am, and we decided to watch the sunrise from the jacuzzi while chatting.

At about 6am, Donovan and I made breakfast for everyone before going to sleep until around 10h30. After hanging out and playing video games again, we headed home. Personally I had a wonderful time, particularly our very interesting chats of the evening.

Saturday

After being awake all night we headed over to Justin’s house to hang out. It was very chilled, everyone leaving at about 23h00.

Sunday

Sunday afternoon my mom and I went to Canal Walk, and when I got back I headed over to Donovan’s house to watch some football. Unfortunately Chelsea lost, but there were some other great games on that were fun to watch.

Monday

The day before we had decided to go over to Justin’s house to watch the Liverpool game, so that’s what we did. It was fairly uneventful.

Tuesday

After a fairly boring week, I went out with a few friends to get some pizza, and it was pretty good. While we were there Donovan called Matt, and told us that he and Justin were at a bar in Monte Vista called ‘Cue Inn’, and that we should go over to play pool.

Upon arriving we found that they weren’t there but were at a pub around the corner named ‘Pete’s Post’. We went there to play some pool, and it was wonderful. You know those bars that you see on tv where there are like 10 people who go there every night, know each other and just go to the bar to hang out and chat, well that’s what Pete’s Post is like.

Everyone knows each other, and the bartender is super friendly, chatting to everyone and just wanting everyone to be friends. Best part about the place is that it’s cheap. The beer all costs R10, a Jack and lime is R9, and the pool R2 a game. The atmosphere is very normal, with everyone just hanging out and chatting. There is a pizza place around the corner where you can get pizza and have dinner, and we can go there and watch football or whatever. It’s also close to home, so that’s great too.

I think we may have found our local hang out spot…
