Delights, dinners & deeds on the weekend......


Rain and overcast weather was expected this weekend, but we didn’t see any of it.
The weather was warm and sunny and on Sunday the temperature was about 25 degrees. As can be seen from the one photo album below, Dean owns a BMW motorbike (same model bike that Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman use to travel around the world). Lauren helps dad wash his bike and enjoys going for short trips around the yard on the back of the bike. She is waiting in anticipation for the day a helmet can fit her head and she can go for a spin around the block with dad….. still a long while to go though. Mom plays the law enforcement
officer – Mrs Plod. Every time we get the camera out to take a few photos, we have to let Lauren have a go at photographing too. Oh boy, do we get instructions, like you can’t believe! But it is kind of handy to have her around when we want pictures of the mom and dad. (no the bike’s tyre is not lifting in the front!)



Dean’s good friend and fellow earth walker, Ian, celebrated his birthday this weekend.
Also, Happy Birthday to Richard, his twin, who stays in Johannesburg. We went to the Blue Lagoon Highlander Restaurant for a buffet dinner. Lauren had a plate of chips and Dean and Ian did the buffet price justice with their helpings! Reg and I took the moderate route on the menu. There was much fun and laughter when the waiter was trying to take photos of us and eventually Lauren insisted on taking photos too. [reference to photo : Dean says….. Ian looks somewhat alarmed when he heard there was beetroot soup on the menu! Hey!?] ….Dean joking as usual and telling tall stories!


Sunday was time for me to take full advantage of my new deck chair that Dean and Lauren gave me for my birthday. It is so comfortable (compared to lying on a towel on tiles) and I am going to spend many hours tanning my legs, etc. and reading magazines in the summer on Sunday afternoons. Delightful!
