Translations

Here's a list of words that some of you may not understand, I'll try my best with the translations

Lekker - loosely translated as "nice", though it's more like "HELL YES, that's good".

Gallas - and arabic word that means enough / finished

Habibi - arabic, means darling/sweetheart/lovey/sweetie

Inshallah - arabic, "god willing", and they will use it in every possible and impossible situation. Mostly when you feel so frustrated you can scream

Braai - a BBQ

Nogal - "none the less"

Stoep - veranda-type area

Mugg & Bean - South African coffee shop franchise of which we have two here in Abu Dhabi

Hamdulla - Arabic expression meaning "thanks be to God"

Hallo op 'n Sondagaand. Die video van die "escape artist" is te dierbaar vir woorde. Kan Gideon dalk 'n video van jou maak waar jy die "potty dance" doen? En dan natuurlik dit met ons deel op jou blog :-)

My paspoort is by die "printers" volgens Binnelandse sake. Ek begin met ons kuier reelings die oomblik wanneer ek my nuwe paspoort in my hande het. Heerlik gejag laas naweek. Ek begin regtig 'n reputasie opbou dat ek elke keer die eerste bok skiet.

Vlg naweek kom die 3 Pierini kids kuier - ons sien almal uit daarna.
BAIE sterkte met die 1-dag huis trek na Dubai. BAIE LIEFDE, Annet
