Little Nya & Senna
























It was great to meet Nya again now she is a bit more responsive. And it's always fun to spend time with Senna.

Inspired to bake.


After a great Heavy Chef Session last night (World Wide Creative get togethers to talk web marketing with our clients) I was inspired to get baking.

Shane & Andrew from www.yuppiechef.co.za did a talk on ecommerce in South Africa (everyone in SA must visit this store for luxury & funky cooking tools as they deliver to all of SA) . The session ended with amazing cakes made by Creme and Cacao. Frank also made his own stroopwaffles so Mike was very happy. Therefore, after all of this I felt I should get baking.

Tonight i am preparing my mix for a ciabatta and a focaccia (I have posted the recipe on my own recipe blog where I keep track of all my recipies a sort of online cookbook, as I have left all my books behind in the UK www.perkcookbook.blogspot.com).

Woolworths Shopping

With Rugby, Football and Cricket on TV this evening, I thought I would make pizza. (If the base recipe is any good I will put it up on my cookbook blog).
Cheese is quite expensive in Woolworths (i.e. M&S Equivalent) so we walked down to Shoprite (cheap supermarket). After being targeted as either gullible or charitable we were roped into buying baby formula at R60 - so after all it is cheaper to shop at Woolworths.

Goodwood Revival


A magical weekend. It is like stepping back in time 40 or 50 years. Lord and Lady March are so generous with their estate and time making everyone welcome. Just a couple of pics tonight and hopefully a longer report tomorrow. Ed qualified on Friday and raced his Heron Alpha on Sunday. A great race.

I was excited by all the air displays which took place between each race. Pic of me standing next to a spitfire (my dad flew spitfires in the war).

Addictions

I feel I have come alive, the whole day I have been tired and lethargic not wanting to get on with my list of tasks (which now has got even longer because of this).
After 3 trips to the Post Office (once yesterday as well) to pick up the same letter, I stopped off at Fegos for takeaway cappuccino. Now this is nicely in my tummy I have come alive. I realised this was my first cup of coffee for over 2 days!! For some reason I do not even need the caffeine as a decaf coffee works well to, so must be a cappuccino addiction.

I am also coming to terms with my inability to watch anything but 24. Mike & I are now on series 5, so have watched 96 hours worth of tv.

Only 8 more days and we are on our way back to the UK. Mike is looking forward to the 12 hour flight (the only time he ever relaxes!). Unfortunately he needs this time to relax due to the hectic schedule when back in UK.
