Life

 

Good morning, dear Blogger friends. Last week I drove to the nearby town of Estcourt to renew the second lot of vehicle licenses on the farm. 

A few months ago, I renewed the other section of farm vehicles and at the end of August I renewed my own car's license. As you can imagine, I have built a strong relationship with the clerks who man the table outside the hallowed halls of the Estcourt Licence Bureau. 

After successfully renewing eight vehicles for Gavin and one for Ronnie, I traveled up to the supermarket. After my shopping, as I was preparing to reverse my car out of the parking lot, I spotted two elderly gentlemen approaching a pick-up truck parked in front of me.

They were the image of Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence who acted together in the comedy Life.

Unfazed I went to the driver's window and greeted them in Zulu. They politely responded. I asked if they were brothers to which they replied, they were. I asked if they lived near to each other, to which they answered that they were next door neighbors. I also asked after their respective spouses whom they said were well. (I was thrilled that they understood my newly acquired Zulu) 

When I asked if I could take a photo them, they said certainly and looked straight at my phone while I clicked. 

Unbeknown to these two polite gentlemen, they resembled the main actors in the film called Life

HAVE A WONDERFUL THURSDAY!
