Boy doesn't time fly when you're having fun ????
And even more so when you're kept busy too... It's always great to see familiar places thru someone else's eyes... The House Guest has got my A. in G. and I've actually been visiting places that I said we'd visit since we got here 9 months ago... Mum's also probably had her busiest week yet too... We've had a hectic but fun time... I know A. is on her way to Cape Town tomorrow for a rest !!!! l.m.a.o
Wednesday saw us at one of our local Malls - The Pavillion in Westville (looks exactly like Meadow Hall but with different shops) Mum didn't join us cos she was shattered from her busy Monday and Tuesday so she took a day off. A. and I had a leisurely stroll around the shops, learnt a few new things about each other (our likes and dislikes!!!)
I've always said you don't really get to know someone till you've slept and had breakfast with them .... lol!!!
Thursday started with a slight problem - my teeth AGAIN (some of you will know all the previous horror stories) well looks like I'm going to have another chapter to add to that already expensive story - seems I have a 'hairline crack' in my top jaw which has caused 2 of my caps to loosen and fall out!!! Now I have to go see a Maxillo Facial Specialist cos they may have to operate and put 'staples' into my jaw to stop the crack getting any bigger!!!! (nothing I do is ever simple or straight forward!!! I'll keep you posted)
Anyway I'm pleased to say the day got so much better later on, we (including mum today) took a drive up Botha's Hill into the Valley Of 1000 Hills, stunning scenery and breathtaking views, even though it was a bit hazy (I promise lots of photos soon) and we called into pheZulu, 'safari park' (now last time we were there about 6 years ago it was a crocodile/snake farm- changed a bit I have to say and for the better) One thing I learned about my House Guest that I didn't know before was that it was one of her dreams to see Giraffe in the wild - I'd told her at the beginning of the week not much chance of that cos we don't have 'true African' wildlife like that nearby!!!
Oh how wrong was I??? pheZulu now has a 'game drive' and we went on it and saw Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala and of course Nick and Nicola the Giraffes !!! (It was like having a kid in a candy store !!!! A. was just soooo excited l.o.l) Mum thoroughly enjoyed herself too cos she's never really been on a 'game drive' and to see all these animals so close and not afraid of us humans... In fact we've decided that when her mate Bella comes over at Christmas this would be something she would enjoy too... so Bella gotta get your flights sorted now....
Once I get my head around KB's computer and his photo program I'll try to get some photos on blog or facebook for you see what we saw. The weather was perfect and the day turned out just great too, I think a good time was had by all, Kelsey was jealous cos he says he never gets to do fun things like that ... so I guess we'll be game driving again soon... one weekend with him.
Well time running out now for our HG, we put her on a plane tomorrow to Cape Town as she's visiting folks she knows down there too... and phew! next week I can probably get back to my boring non - eventful life (fat chance of that - there's always something l.m.a.o)
