Cheers to our first year as one, but many more to the start of a new decade with you. I’m glad to say that next year will be the year of us, because of the sacrifices we had to make in the last 10 years. Now we can start putting our union first and chase the dreams that originates when we first said, “I love You”.

It’s a scary chapter, but one I think we will undoubtedly excel at. Thank you to the people that have been there for us, in times of sadness and joy. We appreciate the sublime role you have played in our lives.

Lastly, I love you with all my heart, to the end of the universe and back. There is no other person that fits so perfectly in my life than you. You are my best friends, my confidant, my partner is crime and my soul twin. All good and true things lead to you, you have been my saviours many nights in the past year and I owe my very life to you. Anyone will know how difficult it is to write words that describes your soul person. I think @paul_m_gioia and I did good with yours but it still won’t compare to the magic I feel when I am with you.❤️

I love you.

She’s a rock star—not the kind with a guitar, but the kind who somehow juggles life, work, dogs, writing lyrics, and still has time to drag me through my toughest days.

From teaching me patience (through dogs, nogal) to reminding me that the best times are the messy, loud, and lekkuh ones—she’s been a solid pillar in my life.

Some friends just stand out—not because they’re loud, but because they’re steady, and you only realize later how much they’ve shaped your story. Cheers to one of my best friends—still waiting for the world to catch on to how legendary you really are 🤘🏻

Good luck Chani and welcome Chrissie!!

The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck is a blend of psychology, spirituality, and personal growth. It begins with the famous line “Life is difficult” and explores how discipline, love, and grace help individuals confront and overcome life’s challenges.

Who is this? Where and how do I find her? She seems lost in the universe. Bound by her own mind, not knowing, if what her brain tells her is the truth. by @brokenswallow

Yo!

We’re getting a new album together and that shit takes time. My gawd.

So it’ll be great to break it up with some shows.

Where should we head to and who would you like to see us share stages with?

To the one I always cheers to
To the one I first have a cigarette with
To the one who inspires songs
To the one that shone the brightest light
To the one with the biggest laugh
To the one who loved this song
To the one I will always miss
To the one I will always love.

Amped to head back to our favourite PTown haunt @sowaarbar with fellow lifers @lowerhollow and fresh upstarts @tavernpriest ⚡️

It’s also time for everyone to ironically celebrate holidays that have nothing to do with South Africa. So….I guess, time to haul out that oversized Guiness hat you won at McGintys in 2006 and brush up on your Irish jokes.
