We are trying to introduce Midget back into the outside. So after a few hours outside in a freezing easterly and the sprinklers on for 15 minutes a distraught Kayra came running into the house declaring ‘Midget is dead!’
Luckily Shirley noticed a twitch after holding her for a while, else she would have been buried alive.
So after a hour on a water bottle the tweeting started and by bed time she was standing.
So Midget pulled a Lazarus on us, hopefully that's the last time!
The kids helped mom painting some old rusted tables. On our outside table of course. Luckily they didn't make to much of a mess. Took them about 40 minutes to get bored!
Kayra got bored and decided to make a clay dough pizza. Took about an hour but the end result was great!
Ice Cream left on Monday and Greywing on Thursday, so we are now rooster free! Going to take a while to get used to not having to catch them every evening and releasing them every morning from the garage.
We hopefully will end up with 6 hens that should give us 4 eggs a day.
We went to the Beachwood end of year concert this morning. Jorja pulled one over us, she said she only recited a nursery rhyme. She did a bit more than that.
Unfortunately the sound system played up, but the kids had a ball and sang their lungs out. A good time was had by all.
So after 6 years of buying small inflatable pools for the kids in summer we decided to get a bigger pool with metal supports. Only took 7000 litres to fill, that before we had a week of rain and floods!
That didn't stop them from swimming though. Hopefully the weather improves soon so the temperature gets to the 28c dad needs to go swimming…….
So after attacking the kids once too many Helmut if off to Walmer with Princess to be fattened for the table. Two more roosters to go!
The kids wanted to learn how to play backgammon because ouma is always playing it on the computer. It went reasonably well except for the concept of protecting your pieces. Ouma will have to look out next time they come to visit.
I started teaching the girls how to play chess. It went surprisingly well. They have been playing chess for the last two hours solid. Although the fun now is taking pieces, not the strategy of the game. But that will come in time. Oupa will have to look out the next time they come and visit, he will have two live opponents to play against.
The girls spent their holiday week in St Francis with ouma and oupa. We went out to St Francis to fetch them. We had a great braai Friday night with the ‘Braai club’.
The house was very quiet without the girls, its good to have them back!
