Hope youre all well. Im going to try and sum up my week in a few observations. Despite it being the middle of winter, we enjoyed sunny , warm weather (global warming....!)
We had neighbours of course - 1) a house of 8 boys all decked out in wetsuits. 2) two families who shared a house, with a sweet little scottish terrier , who my dog tried to violate on the second day of arrival. Fair enough he hadnt had some action for 8 years.....but....
For 4 days the Sibling and I had to amuse ourselves with the ocean, countless boardgames and marshmallows (and the latter isnt good for anything else than eating, i found out the hard way)
THe sibling , in my opinion, is the funniest person on earth, and i'l even go on record saying that.
To our shocked dismay, we found out that the Afrikaans scrabble doesnt contain a "c". Why?!? SUre there arent any words that you can spell in Afr with a c without having made a spelling mistake....but to exclude it completely? So we set out making phrases instead:
(and the grammar mistakes are intentional, i promise. )Anyhoo. Of course my stay was punctuated by sms'es from Mikey and the delightful Tateson. Although the former's mostly began with "OMG BURN!!!" :P
The family (as families do) came around in droves, injuring the brandy/whisky bottle somewhat while turning various meats on the braai and generally being noisy and chatty.
Two days ago, Will and Meg joined and as my mum was feeling a bit under the weather I decided I will amaze them with my culinary skills .Which made the pasta pot boil over and the sauce too spicy. But all in all, no one died of it, so I guess I did *some* good.
We found a new game too, wonderfully childish, even if i have to say so myself. We stacked matresses and pillows and then ran and theatrically jumped into it, but trying to take photos while we're airborne. It was great.
The photo underneath is my favourite, it features the sibling running after the dog, it sort of sums up the whole damn week.
And here's our version of the trendy shadow you found on Mike's blog :P
Hope you all enjoyed your week :) much love !! me
