All I know is I remembered enough of my matric Afrikaans to know my feelings of amazement and denial were one word, ending in a question mark: liewedondersebliksemhoekanditwaarwees?
But it was waar and there we were, thirteen ou toppies laughing at each other. If you matriculated in 1972 and it’s 2022, true’s bob it’s been Ff – Fff – a NUMBER of years, no good denying it.
We were hosted by classmate Willem Lombard on his farm Waaidam where he has built an amazing spread.
~~oo0oo~~
long word – how the hell did we get so old so quickly?
waar – true, surprisingly
ou toppies – old codgers
