Phew! What a weekend

The weekend started on Friday with the arrival of Jan & Jim in South Africa, which did not go quite to plan - so Air France had better be ready for all the wrath that they will receive from the Perks & Alsops this week. Also more of a reason for England to have beat them in the Semi-finals of the Rugby.

Friday also saw the death of Mike's computer hard disk (surprisingly he has been easy to live with, even though it is still not fixed.)

Saturday morning by 9:30am we had finished our fruit & veg city shop, as well as our trip to the butchers, a visit to Mike's computer in the Mac hospital and popped into the backpackers to pay a deposit on our wine tour next week. Arrived home and sweept/washed the balcony before heading to the gym party.

Afternoon was dedicated to a tidy up, then we settled in to watch the rugby with some homemade beef & banana curry & rotis (rotis not homemade).

Sunday: Went to visit a house in Somerset West for Maxine at Elysian Holidays.
Back home for lunch before heading to Muizenberg for a surf (Mike not me).
Did some more cleaning - and this is what happens when Mike get's left alone:\



He has one cleaning job, which is the guest bathroom, whilst sweeping behind the toilet he snapped the pipe that brings the water into the toilet. Water was flying everywhere and within 30secs the bathroom was flooded and was following out into the passage. Luckily he was able to stop the water at the mains, and we had enough towels to soak up the water. Plumber came this morning to fix the pipe - so all is OK now.

Sunday night is floor cleaning night so we moved the kettle into the TV room with a stick of Toblerone and blocked ourselves in to watch the rugby & 24.

Now looking forward to Wednesday when Jan & Jim arrive in Cape Town - I am venturing out to the airport on my own as Mike has a two day strategy meeting tomorrow & Wednesday with a potential new client (all in Afrikaans so that should be fun!! Luckily Mike only has to listen).

Friday morning we are all heading to Wilderness and we will watch the Rugby final with Uncle Pete, Mim and Sandy.
