AFTER THE WEEK-END

It was a crazy week end. Dian left for a 3 week tour with the Kearsney choir to Europe to attend the choir Olympics. he is photographer and general cook and bottle washer.
He was so excited on the airport. He could not wait for me to leave for him to start his own thing. I hope he has a wonderful time and enjoys every minute. Such wonderful experience to travel and see the world.

Saturday was a quiet day at home. I made "mommas burgers" for lunch. They are monstrous but delicious. Saturday evening I made a prawn and chicken cream pasta. To die for i tell you.
Sunday was show house. The whole family got up and mucked in. This house was so clean and sparkling.... Even I would have bought it.
We made ourselves scarce and went for lunch at the Richards hotel. They have a fantastic carvery and boy did we pig out. We invited two of our friends with for lunch. Gerhard and Ria.
Gerhard is an orchid grower and such a dear friend. Those type of friends you can phone any time with anything and it is OK. Ria is such a special friend too. Always knows what is potting in your life and really loves and cares for you. I will miss them dearly.

The show house was not such a success as only 4 couple came to look. But we will press on regardless.
Rossi is leaving back to university tomorrow. I will miss this noisy lively son of mine. he is such a soft one but will never show it. he did well in his mid year exams and we are proud of him
JC (my eldest) is really loving his dancing career. he is doing exams in 2 weeks so he is dancing and practising his lungs out. he still loves it very much
All i can ask is that my boys are happy in what they do and that they are upstanding citizens.

On the not so nice front. One of Dian's friends (18years old) was mugged at knife point a few days ago. This boy is rattled but in one piece.
What the hell is happening to this country.............
I go back to hospital on Wednesday for a followup on the kidney stones. Hope it is an in and out situation.
Well all for today.
