LMAO! I love how he balances his weight and even leans to the side when he wants to turn! Clever, fearless little thing.

My Afrikaans word of the Day
So I was sitting here, minding my own business, when for some reason the Afrikaans word for matches went through my head (okay, I was actually, very idly, playing with a match book). I was just struck by what an awesome word it is...
"Vuurhoutjies" - literally translated means "little fire wood". Now tell me that's not the cutest word EVER!
Okay, yes, this is the kind of crap I'm doing when I should be cleaning out my flat. But procrastination brings out the best in me!
So my Afrikaans word of the day = vuurhoutjies.
Of course if you're from the Cape Fletse, you just call them "metchies" but that's cos we prefer the best of both worlds.

DICK IN A BOX
I can't help it!! These videos make me laugh...
I mean come on, you can't go wrong with classic (and classy) lyrics like "Chrismas... Dick in a box. Hanukkah... Dick in a box. Kwanzaa... Dick in box".

2.The Belgariad/ The Malloreon - David Eddings *
3.Phantoms - Dean Koontz
4.Homecoming - Cynthia Voigt
5.Flowers from the Storm - Laura Kinsale

These are in not in order of preference... I just put them down as they came to me. Some of my all-time favourite books and I there are so many more.
* (The Belgariad and Malloreon series' consist of 20 books in total... but since the two series' follow the same characters - I put it down as one story).
