Back to reality!

"Mango Groove" at Driftwoods on Friday night.

On the beach at Friday Island Sunday morning.

Not tooooo bad for 23 years!

Our weekend turned out quite nice! We left Cape Town at about 13H00 on Friday, arrived in Langebaan, chilled for a while and then went for dinner at Driftwoods. Driftwoods is right on the beach. I had "HRH Charles" which consisted of baked chicken with a filling of vegetables. Colin had a steak with mushroom sauce. The food was exelent! We ended the meal of with amarula dom pedros and then went driving around trying to find the "Weskus makietie", which ended up being Afrikaans music. Needless to say we didn't spend any time there as we don't really like Afrikaans music.

Slept late on Saturday morning, had breakfast and then went of to Saldanha. I was very dissapointed as it was not exactly a photo opportunity. You are not supposed to take photos at all as it is sort of a "military area", but there was really nothing worth taking the chance over! Will rather find some decent rocks and waves at another time. We visited a scrapbooking buddy in Langebaan in the afternoon and then had a braai all by ourselves on Saturday night! I can just imagine what it is going to be like once it is just the 2 of us again! At the moment I cook for 7 people every day! It was yummy and then we watched 2 DVD's.

Slept in again on Sunday morning. We got to Friday Island at 11H30 and they were closed for breakfast! I was very dissapointed and to add insult to injury one of the men lit up a cigarette and I was totally cheesed of! We moved to another table and I ended up having Crumbed pork with a filling of spinach and feta with a cheese sauce over and Colin had a burger with thai style onions. Also very delicious, but not quite bacon and eggs!!!! We went for a bit of a walk on the beach thereafter and then back to Cape Town. I decided to take photos of the clouds on the way back and the dear long suffering husband eventually got very fed up with me asking him to stop every so often so that I could take photos of the clouds! We ended our perfectly enjoyable weekend by having an argument. Anyway, we will survive that one as well! Got some lovely photos of the clouds and will definitely do a LO on them.

Oh yes, we came home to "What's for supper?" and I knew our peacefull weekend was over!

Enjoy your day!

Off we go!

Here is the picture of Colin and Richard putting new barge boards on the house! Now I can drive up the road, look at the house and not think: "Oh, my poor house looks terrible!" Thanks guys! It took quite a while to get to this point, but the others will go a lot faster. The "renovations" on the outside of the house is slowly getting done and I am feeling much happier with it. Once they are finished on the outside I have a lot for them to do inside! Shame! I am very grateful that I have such handy men though.

Well, it is of to Langebaan for Colin and myself today. I have a chiropractor appointment at 12H00 in Durbanville and we are planning to leave from there. My neck is still very sore, so I hope that she can magically make it better today. It really sucks getting older! I am looking forward to our weekend, thanks to those who made suggestions! All I seem to need for the weekend is body chocolate and lingeree! Their is a Art and Craft cultural festival in Langebaan this weekend that should be very nice and Colin might go fishing. I will sit on the beach and take photos while he is fishing. We also want to go for a drive to take photos at Saldanha where the sea and the lagoon meets. It is beautiful there. Watch this space for photos!

Anyway guys, have a stunning weekend and I will report back on Monday!!

Monday

Well I can't believe that it is Monday again! Time is just going by so quickly. We had quite a busy weekend, but not one single photo to show for it! My sister came for a visit on Friday night as she was a "Matron of honour" at a wedding on Saturday and wanted me to paint her nails. We had a lovely evening together as Colin and the kids were all out.
Another friend came to visit on Saturday as we went to a scrapbook session together - scrapbooking is my favourite pasttime at the moment, so that was obviously the highlight of the weekend!
Sunday we went to Canal Walk and ate some delicious cinnamon buns - entrance 2 for those of you that would like to go and try them. My parents and in-laws came for supper in the evening so that took up pretty much the rest of the day.
What amazed me this weekend was that their was actually some nice movies on. For those who don't know, nice movies in my eyes are movies without any swearing and violence! We watched "Love comes quietly" on Saturday night and on Sunday night, can't remember the name, but it was on Mnet at 20H00.
Altogether not a bad weekend!

My weekend

Had a very busy weekend as always! On Saturday we were invited to go to friends for lunch. We had a very good time although we were all suffering terribly with the heat! The kids had a ball "swimming" in their little splash pool. On Sunday it was church as usual and afterwards we had to do a bit of shopping at Tygervalley. Had supper at my moms house and that was lovely as always. My parents have air conditioning so it was very pleasant.

I visited my doctor this morning and she diagnosed a throat infection - I figured that could be why I felt extra hot over the weekend.

I was busy sorting through some photos this morning and found this one. Sorry blogger stuck it in at the top! I am really enjoying my new camera!
