Well we're back...

Boy what a ride!!!!

Isn't it strange how the weather changed on Thursday ??? The boys went go-carting on Thursday morning and it was a lovely morning... by the time we got to Birmingham Airport it was 'seriously shitty' (how many times do I have to tell ya all that I'm the weather witch???)

Our luggage weighed JUST under the maximum !!! my case 31.5kg Kelsey's case 30.5kg !!! OOOOPs did I do a bit of shopping or what ??? But the lurverly folks at UAE turned a blind eye to the 'little' bit over ... (I just about flashed my eyeballs out of my head !!!!)

We had just enough time to have a cuppa together said our seriously sad farewells but we did have a small consolation prize as Paul collected his ticket at the airport for his next journey out here!!! He's coming 1st October so Kelsey and I can start the next countdown (and shopping list!!!pmsl) !!!! (talk about frequent flyer!)

The flight was full but fairly pleasant except for it being 'bloody freezing' the whole flight.. :- (
( I bet I come down with something - even with the Vaseline up the nose !!!! lmao) Dubai was damned hot as usual and just as we were about to board our plane !!!! duntada --- flight delayed 2 1/2 hours !!!! Now I wasn't too worried cos we had to wait about 5 hours in JHB for our connecting flight to Durban, so a couple of hours in Dubai was still ok for me...

Some of the other passengers were getting a little aggitated as they had connecting flights etc... but I made me a new friend while we were travelling - hi Hailey and boys !!!! (hopefully she's going to start reading the blog) So girls you know how time just flies when you're chatting etc... Eventually we got on our flight !!! which was also FULL and Bloody Cold !!!! (I guess they were making sure no bugs survived that trip ....they were all frozen like the passengers)

We arrived safe and sound in JHB ... expected some aggro cos of Kelsey's passport ... I just admitted my guilt from the start and we were thru ... Into SA again!!! Grabbed our bags... snuck thru customs (of course nothing to declare!!! lol) and made our way to our internal flight to Durban !!!!!!! Only to find that IT was delayed 5 HOURS!!!! WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA!!!

Hello we're back!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

Kelsey was less than pleased and they had the cheek to still charge me excess luggage only to find the plane we were on was half empty !!!! Our plane eventually left at 00h05 !!!! which meant Aunty June and Aunty Irena had to stay up till 1am to come and collect us (boy am I lucky to have such good friends???and they had their family staying here with them too) We all eventually crashed into bed about 2.15am (that was 3o hours in transit!!!!) We must be mad ...

There were no dogs barking on Saturday morning (lmao) we ALL slept in late... I'm still feeling a little dazed and confused but that could be just 'normal' for me!!! We had a Braai on Saturday night with June's family and we went out today for Sunday Lunch with Lawrence, Penny and kids... It was Jessica's birthday last week and none of us were here so we celebrated it with her today... It was lovely...

The weather is not playing nicely at the moment ... it's a little bit cold at night ... hot water bottles, fires and thick blankets... but by mid day the sun's out and it's a bit too warm for the 5 layers !!! lmao ! boy do I know how to moan eh???
