The Weekend!

I had a great weekend. 
It as fantastic to see my sister again!!!  We spent the whole day Saturday together which was great!  I then “let” her spend Saturday evening with our brother, seeing as he is off on Honeymoon tomorrow so she will not really get to see much of him.  Mr OL and I [...]

Rock Pools and Penguins

We started with a talk at the SAMREC Centre to learn about about penguins and see a few that have been rescued and then headed down to the beach and rock pools. 
The day ended with games on the beach.  Luckily the weather held for most of it, but turned a bit chilly and windy towards the [...]

I’ve got worms!

And not the kind I like – worms have attacked my veggie garden.  The annoying thing is that I can’t actually find them so don’t know what exactly has eaten all my lettuce and peas.  All I know is that they are quite ferocious little critters!  Hmph, I was really looking forward to fresh peas [...]

A LONG meme!

What’s the last thing you put in your mouth?
Water – I have a bottle on my desk and am trying to drink from it regularly.
Have you ever kissed anyone named Matthew?
Not that I can remember.  But that is not saying much.  Misspent and often best not remember youth…..
Who was the last person you rode in [...]

Long weekend and other stuff.

It is another long weekend here – woo hoo! The 9th is Woman’s Day but because it falls on a Sunday we get Monday off.  It is quite pleasant because it means next week is another short week for me – 4 day work weeks I can just about cope with. (yes, I know – we [...]

Back in town!

I am back and everything I have ever read about the Whale Trail is true!  It is FANTASTIC.  I had an awesome time and would well recommend it. 
I will post pictures and more info shortly.  All I will say for now is it must have some of the nicest and best equipped hiking huts in [...]

Moaning Monday!

Moaning Monday seems to be catching.  First it was Rambler, then Shayne and now I just can’t help myself. 
I am absolutely livid!!!  I think that MOAN might be a bit of an understatement.  It might just turn into a full on rant. 
I was in a rather good mood this morning, weird considering it was Monday.  [...]

The good, the bad and the very ugly.

In the past week I have had one of the best and one of the worst dining out experiences in PE. 
I will start with the WORST – just to get it off my chest (which as a pleasant side effect of pregnancy seems to be growing by the second) 
The worst – Barney’s at the beachfront!  [...]

I love Public Holidays!

On Tuesday, 16 June it was Youth Day in South Africa and this is how I spent it.
 
In the morning I woke up early and went for a run.  The sun rise over the sea was awesome, the run was great and the company was fantastic.  For somebody who has enjoyed running alone all these [...]

Creature of habit?

On Tuesday night I went and ran with the running club again.  It reminds me how much I miss running along the beachfront.  This is the view from the club house and was taken just before we went for a run. 
It was a stunning evening, if a little cold (as far as PE goes). 
We did [...]
