Pity about the shadows. But a very rare picture of these two eccentric gents in the wild: Gareth and Marcus (with beard!). I’ve quoted Hunter Thompson with regard to Gareth before, but it goes for both of them: “Too strange to live. Too rare to die.
Saw my dear friend Marcus with my own eyes for the first time in nearly a year and a half. Got filled in on his major plans and events - the way this COVID time seems to have swept everyone’s personal history along like it’s swept global history along. I rode out to meet him in Keurboom Park and then we hung out on our old high school fields. When we were kids, the only thing we liked about that shitty old fashioned school were the vast, luxurious grounds. ...
Very much a latergram from before our trip. Got to have coffee one morning in Cape Town with two special visitors, Pierre and Raphael. I do love these two brilliant chaps. Probs why neither is on Insta. Well aware that all that Facebook touches does not turn to gold.
The braaimaster of the day. Tanya decided she was going to leave the souties to handle the braaiing. Astonishingly we actually had edible food without burning the place to the ground. But it’s still usually better to leave the fire to Afrikaaners who know what they’re doing.
Just because he’s a madman doesn’t mean you don’t want to know him. Wild Frank will always be wild.
A very dear friend who I don’t think has ever appeared on my insta before. A man with a giant heart. One of our greying gang of school friends.
Great times at the surprise party for my dear old mate @johnthevudio at Punjab restaurant. An eccentric fella with a heart of gold.
Beloved old friends come to visit.
