this past weekend

Realised that I need to try and post a little more often than I am, not very good at this am I?

 

Last Friday B took me to watch the new Harry Potter movie that I have been dying to see, I have read all the books- at least twice, and I couldn’t wait to see the movie

What a disappointment,

Well at least I didn’t find it as good as the others; to me it seemed as if they concentrated far too much on the parts that weren’t important and just rushed over the parts that were

BUT MAYBE THAT’S JUST ME

So going to have to hope and pray that they sort themselves out for the next one

 

Saturday I laughed more than I have in a very long time

Ok for those who don’t know I am a bit of an artsy fartsy person- I paint, I draw, I do scrap booking, but I have developed a love for photography and I would love to get in to Maternity and baby photography (esp. newborns)

I have been getting loads of advice (THANK YOU) and I received Photoshop and Corel Draw for my birthday (THANK YOU)

 

So I asked my special guinea pig Nicky if I could borrow her and her gorgeous preggy belly to practice on

Well as I said, I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time, I had so much fun

THANKS GIRL

 

And I have to admit- for a first time I don’t think that my photos came out too badly, now I just need to figure this whole photoshop thing out (either its damn hard or I am just doff)

So I can play around with them

 

Afterwards we met some of the OPM ladies for lunch at Cavendish- it was quite small- just 4 of us, but it was perfect and we had an absolute ball

Nix and I did a spot of shopping for her hospital bag- now I was totally freaked out, what is wrong with the shops, every button down set of Jimmy Jams looks like it came out with the VoorTrekkers

Now I mean really, what is up with that

Luckily we found a really nice pair that didn’t look like her great granny could have worn it

 

Saturday night was RUGBY night- and yes again Rascals was the place to be in the Southern Suburbs of Slaap Stad

How I love being a local-the pub was SO packed but lo and behold I had just walked in the door and there was a chair for me

 

Sunday I had big plans to sit and veg the whole day- I am so exhausted, haven’t been sleeping well at all

In fact the bags under my eyes have bags

And what do I spend the day doing- cleaning

I got a bee in my bonnet and decided to spring clean our bedroom

That involves moving the whole bedroom around hhhhm and I wonder why I have a sore back

Of course madam Cleo Cat has to try and “help” me every step of the way- attacking the broom, the mop

Diving under the sheet when I try to change the bedding

 

I eventually sat down at 15h00!!!!

 

But I am so happy- my bedroom looks so much better and I feel better

Amazing how sometimes a little thing like that can lift your mood!
