Christmas 2008

tiled1

Last night was the time to be jolly with the Nzime studio heading out in the masses for the traditional Christmas outing.

The night started with much food and drink. Followed by Russian dancers that were quickly put to shame by the amazing dance moves of the Nzime team (videos + pictures to be included). The festivities peaked towards the end of the night with classics such as “Abba – Dancing Queen”, “Los del Río – The Macarena” and “Take That – Relight My Fire” drawing out the dance moves time had long forgotten.

Once everyone had burnt off the calories of the meal and beer on the dance floor, everyone headed to the Dodgems (traditionally bumper cars) for a final head to head battle. Cameras and Bags where flying all over the place with some of the less tame head to head collisions.

The aftermath of the Christmas party has left few suvivors this morning, all of which are nursing battle wounds with large amounts of coffee, water and greasy foods.

Good for the soul.

Nothing like freezing streams, swamps and verticle climbs to clear the head.

Happy 40th birthday mouse!

December 9th was when the first mouse was demonstrated, and it was made of wood…things have changed over time, but imagine if the mouse was never invented, I wonder how we would navigate if someone else had designed a product completly different to the mouse concept.

Mr frosty!

Super icey this morning, I watched the postman fall on his ass along with the locals walking dogs. Does make the whole place kinda Christmas themed but with added danger. Took this piccy of my car window…another factor when dealing with cold weather, I had to crack out the kettle! [Not advised to use boiling water just slightly warm water to disperse ice from windows, I will not be responsible for windows cracking!]

So much work, so little space

Seeing as I am the busiest person in the office I decided I needed 2 screens!

The Nzime Christmas tree

It’s that time of the year again and the Christmas tree is taken it’s place in the new studio.

Anna also got involved in the process but in a more destructive manner:

We will post an update shortly, with the tree after its festive makeover.
