It was about three weeks ago when my beloved informed me that I should keep Saturday the 9th of August open because there is s surprise for me. Because I am very bad with surprises (if I know that they are coming – possibly due to the fact that it’s a bit like a mystery to be solved) I kept racking his brain about where when what but he was very very good about it. The only two bits of information I managed to get out of him was that it wasn’t a women’s day related event (thank goodness) and that it didn’t really matter all that much what I wore – as long as it wasn’t too pajama-y (his words).
On Saturday morning, my beloved arrived at my flat at the said time and I was ready to get in his car and have him take me wherever he was taking me. But he came inside and told me that he didn’t want to be too early for this event. We made some tea, and my sister (who has a key) came into my flat with a packet of Orange Kit-kat (which our aunt had brought us from England) and told me that I had to help her carry some of her books into my flat because she wanted to store them there. I was rather annoyed – I was going to be late for my surprise!
When I reluctantly went outside, there was a brand-new silver VW Polo with a HUGE red bow around it waiting outside for me! My parents (who live 2000 km away) were also waiting outside for me! I was speechless and just giggled. I think I was more speechless about seeing my parents than the care – because I knew that I was getting a new one sometime soon (as my old car had literally started falling apart and my sister got a new car at this age).
So I spent the rest of the weekend in and around Cape Town and Stellenbosch with my parents, enjoying my power steering and radio/cd player… The question just is; what do I do with the bow? Wrap it around some trees?

Wow, pretty cool. Ek is self nie te mal oor verrassings nie, maar die sou ek definitief nie gemind het nie!
