Andre and I headed to Pretoria for the weekend. The Sharks were facing The Bulls at Loftus. This gave us the opportunity to meet some of the friends we have gotten to know online at Ruggaworld . 
The Sharks versus The Bull ? Rob, Aldo and Andrè
The Sharks versus The Bull ? Rob, Aldo and Andrè
The early-birds in our Ruggaworld shirts (Andrè, Tracy, Deon, Mia, Rob, Aldo & Kowie - not sure on the spelling sorry)
THE SCOREBOARD SAYS IT ALL !!!!Sharks 37 Bulls 28 !
Aldo still smiling after his team has lost - now that's good sportmanship !
Don't know if we'd be feeling the same !
Fabulous evening together !
Afterwards we all went out for a few drinks and a bite to eat. Aldo of course being the token Bulls supporter among us was forced to don a Sharks tattoo as penalty for his team losing.
Doesn't he look fabulous with that little addition to his forehead - look at that smile hehehe :)
Even Gambrinus had to take his turn at consoling him hehehe
Oops the waitress taking the photo was a little shaky ???
"Murph", Gambrinus and the infamous Afrikaans CD which the management at DROS 'could not' play for the Ruggaworld group :)

Sadly the game did not end as positively as The Sharks game the previous night. Aldo has a beautiful family - seen below are some photos of his adorable daughters and some of the many photos Andre took of the Sharpei puppies that they breed.
Thanks for your hospitality Aldo !

Saturday night - dinner with Rob and friends - thanks for a great evening everyone !
Sunday, Andre and I spent a relaxing day together, just the two of us - very nice :)
Monday was our travel day, of which we spent more than an hour stuck in traffic trying to leave Pretoria/Johannesburg. Andre said " THIS (the traffic) is a very good reason why we would NEVER live in Gauteng !" hehehe
Anyway home to good old Durban and to two very happy little girls :)
Thanks to all those who contributed to a great weekend away - not least of all Mommy for having Aimee and Lucy for the weekend.
'Til the next one ?
