Karen and I took off cross-country, and spent a night in Nieu Bethesda, home of South Africa&#8217;s legendary Owl House. Wow. What a creeeeeeepy place! And totally amazing. There&#8217;s a kind of psychosis present there that I found both unsettling and thrilling. <\/p>\n<p>And the place we stayed at was amazing. Doornberg Guest       Farm. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.safarinow.com\/go\/DoornbergGuestFarm\/\">http:\/\/www.safarinow.com\/go\/DoornbergGuestFarm\/<\/a>. If you&#8217;re driving from Joburg to Knysna, I strongly recommend going to Doornberg. Strongly. What an excellent place. We were in &#8220;the cottage&#8221;. It&#8217;s a three-bedroomed palace. Seriously. And Karen and I got up to some particularly enjoyable D\/s kinky stuff in front of the roaring fire.<\/p>\n<p>All of this info about our holiday is all just a way of me       avoiding the main topic of tonight&#8230; Harold.<\/p>\n<p>Yup. Harold. He&#8217;s just ripped my lungs out through my underpants. Beat me 21-12 at backgammon. Leaving me to mop up the remnants of my Ramble Scramble with a crust of dry toast. (This dish is very fundamental fare. Mince on toast and scrambled egg on toast. Lovely.)<\/p>\n<p>Which probably means I&#8217;m not in the money anymore for this cycle. And Majid is keeping very mum about how well he&#8217;s done. He&#8217;s finished all of his games, but answers in non-sequiturs when I ask him. Which is probably his way of not having to tell the world that he&#8217;s number one in the B-division. <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
