Singapore Airshow, 16 Years and Ouma

Today is our 16th anniversary so I want to thank my wife for the best 16 years of my life.

Het lekker Ouma Karringmelk beskuit gehad vir ontbyt. Party goed bly maar net lekker. Dip in die koffie en geniet. In English, Had me some Grandmother Traditional Buttermilk Rusks with coffee this morning. You can only get them from The Springbok Bazaar in Singapore.

It is official - Guinness World Records has recognised Durban’s Big Swing as the tallest jump swing in the world.
The Big Swing at the Moses Mabhida Stadium measures 88m from the seat to the top of the crossbar.
An ecstatic Brian Naidoo, the director of Big Rush, the company that built and operates the swing, said it was a “proud moment not only for the city but for the province as a whole. We are the first and only stadium in the world that has a jump swing and it’s a huge achievement.”
Manager Tracey Ferguson said she “felt very proud and excited about it. The swing is an incredible experience which appeals to a wide range of people.” Since the swing was launched more than 5 000 people have made the jump, with 1 612 jumping this year alone.
Before a person “takes the plunge”, you need to walk up 352 steps, which Naidoo says is part of building up the adrenalin rush. “The swing is for everyone and with the festive season coming up it’s certainly a must for tourists and people who want to experience the adrenalin rush,” said Naidoo.
Successful swingers will in future receive a certificate with the Guinness logo. - Daily News   

The Singapore Airshow, among the world's Top 3 aviation events, is the largest aerospace and defence event in Asia. It will be held between 14 -19 February 2012 and will be open to public  18,19 February. I have attended many airshows and certainly will not miss this one next year.

For those of you who have not noticed I have included a nifty "How to Cook Anything" button at the top right hand of the Blog. Type the name of what you would like to prepare, click Cook IT and the website will list the ingredients you want to include. Tick the Ingredients you have or want and click on Find Recipes. Easy does it for the aspiring cooks.

The Garden Project started on Wednesday and phase 1 has been completed. Need to get some more colour and flowers to make it feel like a garden.

Have a nice weekend.
