First Week of School Holidays

The first week of the school holidays has come and gone. The kids did very little due to the miserable weather. Lara still went to kindergarten as the kindergarten only closes from the 16th July to 30th July.
On Tuesday night, we met Larissa and Cindy at the Greek restaurant for dinner. We had a nice evening together.
On Wednesday I met up with the other S.A. ladies for tea at Heidi’s house. We spent the morning chatting away as we usually do.
On Thursday, I took the boys into town with me. Our first stop was the bank, where Steven wanted to collect his birthday present. The banks are very children friendly and with the kids having their own accounts, they get a birthday card every year and a small gift. Then we parked in the town centre and went to the Vodacom shop to meet Gerard. My cell fone contract had to be renewed and I had been offered a new fone. So we sorted that out and I am now the owner of a Blackberry fone. After that, we went off to our little Doner Kebab shop where we had a lovely Doner each for lunch. These are Shwarma’s in S.A. They are very popular here in Germany and being so tasty, are fast becoming the number one fast food.
On Friday evening, Bell had their Somerfest. The weather had been miserable all day, only to start clearing that evening. The food was excellent, the company was good, so all in all it turned out to be a really lovely evening.
We had arranged for Larissa and Cindy to join us for a breakfast on Saturday morning and then we could all watch the rugby together. Well what can I say!!! The breakfast was good, the rugby …… terrible!!!
On Sunday morning Gerard went off to play golf with Heinz. It was a very hot day and Gerard arrived home absolutely exhausted.
He had a shower and a snooze before getting up and getting the braai ready. We had a lovely braai in the afternoon with our friends and ended off our week well.
