Weekend - Lovely & Sunny at 30 Degrees!!

Mike and I had a very busy weekend. Saturday we went all around the city shopping. Our apartment is unfurnished so we had to buy everything! We managed to stay in our planned budget so it was great. We move in on Thursday, but get the keys tomorrow night, so we must start packing up again tonight.

After a long shopping day, we went to the Waterfront to watch the rugby and have a bite to eat.

Sunday - we went food shopping (which is tending to be quite expensive now we are earning Rand), and fruit & veg city was closed so we had to buy are fresh stuff from the supermarket. Last week we went to Fruit & veg city and its great! they will even peel and chop any of you fruit and veg, and it's cheap. After shopping we went back to the flat for lunch and got ready for the beach. We went to Camps Bay and walked along the beach for a few hours, the weather was perfect, it was very very sunny & hot, but the wind was coming off the sea so the wind was nice and icy.

Monday - after work we went back to Camps Bay to meet a member of staff of one of Mike's clients for dinner.

Here are a couple of photos from the living area, the plan is to have one very big table for us all to work from, so the room does not look too officey.

This is the front door, which leads straight into the living area, which will be the office area. All the front walls are glass, with doors to the balcony.

Ocean Breeze Property

I will try and attach photos of are new home. We signed the lease yesterday, and can move in on the 1st March. We are off shopping at the weekend to buy everything we need (which is everything).
I will post pictures on seperate postings as I have a lot to upload.

This first picture is of the building (taken from Signal Hill), it shows we are right by Sea Point swimming Pool, which will is lovely to swim in as you are right by the sea- but cold.
