Winter seems to have arrived ...

Seems like almost overnight the seasons have changed and Winter has found it's way to the Southern Hemisphere !!!

So now maybe it's time to go into hibernation !!!

But before we do that ... have to say what a weird Easter this has been ... well for me anyway ...

Good Friday was spent just like any other Friday except for the fact that Kelsey was not at school ... I think I mentioned I had found a PS3 game to keep him entertained ... and that's what it did ... well until he popped his 'bushy' head out of the bedroom to say he's finished it !!!
My day was filled with ... a bit of this and a bit of that .. cleaned a shelf in my cupboard ... the whole cupboard is on the TO DO list but as I have sooooo much time on my hands thought I'd stretch that job out a bit ... by doing it 1 shelf at a time LOL ... the day did kinda drag a bit !!!

Saturday thankfully we had a lot more planned ... we've stayed very friendly with Kelsey's previous teacher Jenny Krouwel (was going to use the word old but she might have objected LOL) well ... she celebrated a BIG birthday in March but due to work commitments etc. etc. she decided to have a Belated Birthday Lunch with Family and Friends on Saturday ... and the weather played along very nicely ...(in fact if I look at today and then think about just how HOT it was on Saturday ... no wonder everyone gets sick at this time of the year !!!) It was so nice sitting outside ... sipping elVino and catching up ...

Kelsey & I excused ourselves around 4pm cos we were off to The Wavehouse at The Gateway to see Pitbull in concert ... Kelsey's 1st ever live concert !!! You tend to forget how these LIVE concerts work ... or is it that I'm getting way toooo old for this ??? We were in the standing area ... at the front of the stage ... good place ... except for the 10 000 idiots behind us ...(the group we went with made sure we got there in plenty of time) so we have our little posse ... ready for the nights fun ... and then crowds !!! uuuurrrrgggghhh ... no one respects personal space ... I nearly decked a couple of women as did Juno ... she became a Tigress when 1 particular woman tried to shove Kelsey out of the way LOL !!! We even had the Bouncers "bounce" 2 girls out of our space !!! (don't mess with us seasoned concert go-ers Chicky !!! LOL)

BUT WHEN Pitbull eventually did come on !!! (and that is the point ...WHEN) his performance was BRILLIANT ... however ... the opening act was !?#~! (the only way I can describe her was a female chipmunk on Helium !!! she was TERRIBLE ... some bird called LIYAH ??? OMG) but there was a local dance group before her that Kelsey really enjoyed ... and considering the doors opened at 6.30pm ... and Pitbull only came on at 9.15pm and he was on for a total of 70mins !!!!
By the time we left my ears were ringgggging ... my head was pounding, my legs & back were killing me ... but WE DID ENJOY PITBULL !!! PMSL !!!(definitely way too old for this !!!)

Sunday morning we were up early ... June invited us to an Easter Egg Hunt & Breakfast at her place with their family (and Siana's 1st Easter Egg Hunt) ... and again it was HOT !!! Started out in Jeans,long sleeves & jacket ... ended in shorts & T-shirt !!! and Kelsey, Jonathan & Nadia were swimming (idiots!!! the water was 18') But a good old time was had by all ... breakfast became lunch and we eventually left her place around 5pm !!! Just for a change I did not take all the photos for the day ... Jonathan & Sonja are doing a camera course so I left it to them ... I was grateful for the chance to enjoy the proceedings ... hence no photos folks !!! (mmm must get a copy from them me thinks ?? or not !!!)

Monday ... aaaah a lie in me thought !!! Kelsey was invited to join Heine's family at a braai so we were up relatively early and I dropped him off there ... I then gratefully went home ... fell into bed around 11ish and woke up at 3.30pm !!! Seems I'd missed another beautiful day of sunshine & heat ... I think that was the last 1 for this year ... cos since Tuesday it has gotten colder & colder ....

Needless to say once Kelsey gets to Heine's house ... he forgets to come home ... I went to fetch him Tuesday but was asked to take rugby kit with ... Lynette kindly said NO he can stay Tuesday night as the boys were going to rugby practise on Wednesday ... and eventually I collected my son at 4pm yesterday !!! But whatever you do ... don't ask me what I did all day Tuesday & Wednesday ... cos I can't even say I spent the day reading (that at least would have meant I'd done SOMETHING !!!)Oh ooh wait I did tidy out another shelf in my cupboard... found my I-pod and jewellery box (that in itself is worth a whole day of nothing wouldn't you say ???)

And so here we are to Thursday ... the kids are back at school for 2 days ... and then we have another long weekend !!!

I just don't think I can contain myself with all the excitement !!!
