We're Easily Amused

One of the best things about living in Durban is the laid back social life - and its generally hot and sunny so a night out for us usually involves a braai and a bottle of wine. Friday night was no exception, with most of the neighbourhood meeting at the local sports club which is only a 5 minute amble from our house. There were braai packs on sale for the adults and a bouncy castle for the kiddies. Organised by the little old ladies, the highlight of the evening was the long anticipated raffle where a lone bottle of 'Lambrini' was up for grabs. Our braai tickets had all been numbered with one half dropped in the raffle pot and the remaining half kept by us punters. Imagine our surprise when the first raffle ticket pulled out the bag didn't have a number on, then the second and the third! Oh dear, some poor little old ladies had spent the last 2 hours folding a hundred or so raffle tickets without writing any numbers on them. CHaos ensued with little old ladies clucking about all over the shop. Not to worry - the Lambrini is being kept for next time. And it gave us something to chuckle about on the way home.
