Boxing Day with Family

Our Boxing Day was spent with the in-laws and visiting with Andre (Riaan's Brother who lives in the UK) after two years since his last visit to South Africa. We also got to meet his girlfriend Laura who is from Lithuania but now living in the UK with Andre.

I was a lovely sunny day by the pool and eating AGAIN.  We had a lovely family lunch together.

Sunday Stuff

Yesterday we had friends over for a braai and it was lovely to have friends altogether. The girls were in the Jacuzzi most of the day and we karaoked with the Black Eyed Peas. My sister, Janie and Mick came over with Claire too, which was lovely.


Here are some of the pix

I make the Quick and NASTY!!!

I made supper last night as I got home early with the girls. I made a beef stew with wild rice and as I dished up for the girls, Megan said to me: “Mum this is yummy!”


Riaan pipes up and says: “Ja, Mummy makes the nice, yummy food and I make the quick and NASTY!”.

This made me giggle and appreciate him all the more. Not only is he a goofy guy, he occasionally cooks supper for us. Riaan does a lot of the cooking and some husbands don’t lift a finger. Some hubbies just sit on the couch, watch sport and fart. Yes, he does his fair share of sitting on the couch and farting but at least he helps me out in the kitchen when I ask.

I appreciate that. My Boerewors needs some work on picking up his dirty clothes and putting them in the washing basket but if I need him to stop at the shop and pick somethingup , he’s there like a bear in his underwear. If I need him to pop out at 11pm at night to go and get medicine for the kids, he’s there.
