till our power goes off till late tonight.
I have to make sure that the floors are clear so we don't trip and
fall in the dark.
I have to make sure that I have at least one hours worth of battery
power in my laptop and my hubby's laptop so that we can watch a DVD.
I have to cook our potatos.
Defrost our meat for the gas braai.
Boil water so that I can flask it (so we can have coffee after dinner)
My gorgeous Husband has to:
Put oil into all of the new oil lamps so that we can see.
Clean the grill so that we can eat hot food.
Set up the parrafin lamp and bedroom lamp so that we can see.
Not lose the lighter.
Fun Tiddlyumptious.
We are going to make the most of it I guess. We have bought beautiful
bamboo rods with oil lamps attached for outside while we braai, a
beautiful blue oil lamp for the bedroom and lounge and a good old
fashioned parafin lamp for the kitchen.
I love africa.

True south africans you are! Making the most of a dark situation by having a braai - We at National Braai Day suggested to Eskom that they should do all their maintenance on the 24th of September - when all the people will be braaing anyway - so no one would notice a day of darkness. They did not think it funny! Enjoy the braaing - for tips and recepies join us at www.braaiday.co.za (regards the spicegirl)
