beachy days with hesse

what do you do when life is shit? i go to bainskloof.....

sho sho sho sho shoeweeeeeee, the last 4 or 5 months have been really hard.

life's throwing some seriously difficult horrible things my way and i'm barely hanging on.

sometimes life just seems too hard and crap.

when this happens we go to bainskloof....

for some serious time out.

it always makes me feel better.

he is such a funny funny dog....

when i was in ireland it was like this

 all dressed up for the royal wedding...

 raynal loving her horses

what a beauty...

birthday parties are crazy but kids love it.

we went to my niece's 3rd birthday party on the weekend. it was scary and nice at the same time.

it also made me both want to have and not want to have kids. 

kids are crazy and scary but then you look at their parents and they are also crazy and scary....go figure.

anyhoot, fun was had by all, especially obviously the kids, but also the moms and dads with the whiskeys, beers in hand.

bahhahaaabaaahaaa. no jokes.

i think these are normal ways of coping with high intensity very loud frequencies. . . like screaming and crying, laughing and barking and crying and whatever other sounds the little ones would make to entertain themselves and to try and make everybody else go crazy. 

i do believe this is part of their evil plan in trying to take over the world....

i don't trust the little ones; but then again i trust the big ones even less....

here's some party snaps:
