I get up yesterday morning ... 5.30am !!! ... skies a bit cloudy, a bit sunny ... get showered & dressed ... remember we're going to uShaka Marine World = only R 5.00 entrance fee ... Louise phones ... she's running late ... can't get Brendin out of bed ... phew T.G me too, I can't get my lazy boy out of bed either and I have an ANT infestation in the kitchen to sort but before I leave ... (can't leave mum a hoard of bugs to clean up !!! why not ?? LOL)
Eventually get ourselves in the car and 'fly' down into Durban ... got flashed by a traffic camera !!! (o.Fudge) at a traffic light in town ... think it might have 'just' turned red !!!! Park up at uShaka ... crack my front licence plate on the stoopid car in front that has a tow bar sticking out way too far !!! (Idiot can't park either ... me or it!!! LOL) The ques are out of the park and round the side streets too ... w.t.f were we thinking ... every body and their granny was gonna come here today for that price ...(and trust me they were ALL here & not only was the sky very DARK!!! ) it was raining and a bit overcast ... but warm rain !!! However there were patches of blue in between ... A management decision was made ... there was no way we were standing in that line !!!! It would probably take about 3 hours just to get to the front gates !!!!
We went back to Louise's place where she very kindly made us 'breaky' ... Kelsey & Brendin entertained each other for an hour or so ... in that time we had sunshine, rain, wind and then again sunshine ... (oooh forgot to mention ... Juno - she'd already 'chickened' out of going ... Friday she'd said she wasn't going in the rain ... then lucky her she got a visit from her out-laws so that was her 'excuse' !!! cheeky monkey ---then has the nerve to send a message asking if we were having fun !!! :-O)
WELL now what-a-dooo ??? I mean I was quite happy to go home cos me I can always find a stack of things to do ... but 'The Son?' When we got home poor mum's peace was shattered ...
BUT she was baking ... mince pies, cheese scones and Bread & Butter pudding ... this gives me an idea ... "Kelsey wanna bake some Cookies????"
The Best Ever Cheese Scones ... MUM's
The Family Famous - Cornflake Pie ... and Mince Pie for Supper
Yet another of MY favourites ... Bread & Butter Pudding ...
So that's how we spent the rest of our day ... slaving over a hot stove!!!! (and everything is yummy-licious... Kelsey started complaining of a bad tummy about 6pm that could have something to do with all the cookie dough he'd eaten and the 'samples' he just had to try !!!)
Kelsey - First get all the ingredients out ...
Gotta add some chocolate to the Fruit Crunchies ... makes them a little bit extra special.
Mixing Peanut Butter Cookies ... just 1 little taste mum ....
Just out of the oven ... gotta wait till they cool before we cut and eat ....
Fruit Crunchies, with chocolate chips ... 
Peanut Butter Biscuits ... next batch ready for the oven mum ...
Peanut Butter Cookies 
OOOOps forgot there were yet more cookies in the oven ... some a little darker than others !!!
(we can give those to Aunty Irena !!! LOL)OOOOps forgot there were yet more cookies in the oven ... some a little darker than others !!!
Then I wonder why at 8pm last night we had yet another 'power failure' ... I'd probably used up my quota for the day 'BAKING' !!!! (PMSL)
