Sports Day

Jorja’s play school, Little Eagles, had a sports day. We all had a great time watching the kids run, ride, balance bean bags, balance eggs, etc. etc.

Mom’s and dad’s also had to take part. Thankfully the track was only 40m long!

1st beach day

We had our 1st beach day this season. Was a great morning before the wind came up. Water is still a bit cold, 17°c

New dove

The latest chick is out of the nest. That's 3 chicks this year, not bad!

All we need now is father and daughters to get together and we might have a dove birth explosion!

So the kids have called this one Diamond #3.

Tim’s 45th birthday party

We woke up to a scorcher on Saturday morning. Started getting everything ready for the party. We had invited about 30 people for dinner, a 3 course meal. We had the tables and chairs outside and then the weather turned fowl. I was busy putting up Christmas lights in the garden and froze to death. So at 3pm we moved everything inside. The four tables just fitted into our kitchen / dining room. We got everything set out just in time for our guests who arrived at 5pm.

The fireplace was put to good use. Although with all the beer, champagne and wine flowing there enough hot air going around.

A good time was had by all. Too good for some of us, Sunday was a nightmare! The babelaas subsided by about 3pm.

Thanks to Shirley for organising everything and preparing a delicious meal.

R.I.P. bunny Tom

Well the small bunny Tom died this morning. He was always a sickly one. Had a burial in the back garden before breakfast. I am running out of burial space!

Ear ache

Kayra had an ear ache and mom put ear drops in and taped the cotton wool to her ear, so Jorja had to have the same!

Diamond has flown the coup

Our hand-raised ring neck dove Diamond has flown the coup. We haven't seen her again, so she possibly was a very easy meal for any lazy cat!

Kids are back home

We went through to St Francis to pick the kids up. Must say oupa Ron seemed very happy when the quietness returned to his house!

Thanks to oupa Ron and ouma Elze for looking after the kids during the school holdiays.
