Falls, bumper-cars & activities


Granny R collected Lauren from school on Friday and I fetched her from them after 17h00 and went to Vincent Park Centre for a bit of shopping. While we were there, we saw a few things in CNA which we will need for L’s birthday party in a few months time. We left after visiting Woolworths for some healthy, tasty goodies.

Saturday, we went to church. Lauren has progressed from Cradle Roll class (in January) to attend the Kindergarten class which she goes to on her own. We had some friends around for tea in the afternoon. Saturday night we watched a bit of TV and went to sleep early. On Sunday morning, I loaded the washing machine, when ready hung it up on the line and we just got into the car to head to Game to look at Treadmills, when there was a downpour. I reversed, dashed to the wash-line, loaded all the sheets and washing into the car and drove off. Lauren pushed her doll around Game in its pram, attracting a lot of comments and attention. After that, we popped into Spar-Spargs and she drove around in the Car-trolley….opening the door wildly as we go down the aisles!. Hope she improves her driving skills before 18yrs. I kept on bumping into things with this huge car, which I am not used to pushing….it was hilarious…. One is as bad as the other! When we arrived home it was so hot and the humidity was probably 92percent, so I hung up all the washing again. – smile -. That’s February in EL. Weather forecast of 60% rain for 4 days and only 1 downpour and then really hot the next minute.

Dean returned home from Zambia on Sunday night. He has been away on a business conference at Victoria falls since Thursday. He brought home a few gifts for Lauren and I.

This week we have an interview with Clarendon School. Mom, dad and daughter have to attend the interview. They have invited us for the appointment in reply to the application to the school, for Lauren to start Grade 0 in 2009.

(I have taken so many photos of Lauren in car trolley, but my bluetooth isn't working on my
laptop, so will post later)

Walking, Running, Chilling......




The weather on the weekend was overcast most of the time with a bit of drizzle on and off. My brother ran the famous EL ‘Surfers marathon’ for the first time and enjoyed the run, coming in at 2 hrs 8 minutes. Me, Lauren, my mom and dad(who cannot see due to a stroke) took a walk from my house to Bonza Bay Beach to support my brother running past. Lauren was jumping up and down with excitement. It took us a while to get there, but it was such fun seeing all the runners and walkers going past to finish at Nahoon beach.

Sunday, Dean treated us to lunch at the Wimpy and then we went to visit Craig and Charne’ and family. Lauren had a wonderful time running and chasing with her cousins. The sun peeked through on Sunday afternoon and it was sssssoooooo HOT. Lauren enjoyed some time cooling off in her baby swimming pool.
