Here are my answers to this week’s Share your world from Cee

How do you like your eggs?

Breakfast is my favourite meal.  So yes – I love eggs.  Any style will do but I usually go for fried – medium please.  Soft poached on spinach is also delicious.  Hubby cooks brekkie most days. Our standard is medium fried eggs on black mushrooms with banana, bacon and fried tomato. But he also does scrambled with a variety of ingredients – bacon, mushroom, tomato, cheddar, blue cheese – very rich and totally delicious.  Sometimes I do omelettes filled with bacon, feta, tomato and sweet peppers – or whatever comes to hand.

Going out to eat breakfast is also something we do twice or three times a week.

Have you ever met anyone famous?

I have! I met Charlene Surtie- Richards  and got to know her quite well when we were staying at The High Rustenberg Hydro some years ago.   We had tremendous fun with her. I have a non-digital photo but can’t put my hand on it right now as we have things packed in locked cupboards while the builders are busy with our renovations.   Charlene is a South African actress who I first saw perform on stage in a Pieter Dirk Uys play the name of which I  can’t recall.  She was also in a movie I saw called Fiela’s se kind.  (Fiela’s child) but at the time I met her she was playing the part of Nenna in a South African Soap Opera called Egoli – Place of Gold.

I have also met Pieter-Dirk Uys a South African satirist, author and political activist.  This was after a show I organised for a Cape Bird Club fundraiser.  He was kind enough to come out into the foyer and mix with the patrons.   He is great fun.

What was the first thing you bought with your own money?

I really don’t remember!   I used to get R 2.00 a month pocket money in my teens and I guess that was “my own money” I know I used it to go to a movie and buy magazines but other than that I simply can’t remember.  My first salary, I think, after paying a minimal amount of board and lodging to my parents went on clothes!

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

There was so much to smile about this past week.  The Two Oceans Marlin Tournament took place here in Stuisbaai and with all those fishermen about who couldn’t smile or even laugh out loud.   The Earl and I were the official photographers and we hosted Andrew who was responsible for radio communication.   (I have blogged about it for those of you who are interested in fishing)
