Monday: The House is fixed

It has been great having Uncle Mike here, every house needs a dad to fix things.
Our showers are now running freely, before we could only have a 1 minutes shower as the basin filled up too much (and you all know how I love spending hours in the shower).
We now also have our toilet roll holder fixed and have worked out what the mystery switch does in our bathroom (still have a mystery switch in the kitchen).

Back to Paarl. Today not just very hot, but very very hot. After Trent's game which they lost (sorry I do not remember the teams names that they played) we had a lovely sandwich that we picked up from the local deli before we left. (We did not want chicken/burgers again from the stands,on Saturday I got a very under done piece of chicken) Lovely sandwich, we had another one on Wednesday too, and Mike & I went back yesterday (sunday when Mike arrived back from UK).

Uncle Mike wanted to watch more rugby, Heather and I could not cope with the heat, so drove to Paarl Mall and walked around the shops in the aircon. Visited all the nice cheap shops and we both bought trousers from Mr Price (mine were R70). Also found that one of the shops - Pick n Pay clothes store stocks some Cherokke clothes (from Tesco).

Back to Sea Point and we went to dinner at the Wooden Shoe Steak House (once again across the road). Amazing little restaurant, it looks a bit dodgy from the outside, but great inside, it is tiny with only 4-5 tables and the cooking is all done by the owner (a Dutch man) behind the bar. Very different menu from all the restaurants in Cape Town, we had Steak, Veal schnitzel & beef stroganoff - all very very nice.
Mike was very jealous that we all went here while he was in the UK.

Onto Fegos for coffee.
