Another Week

On Monday Heidi and I went off to gym. I could certainly feel the muscles in my arms had been used after my work out.
I went to German lessons on Tuesday as usual without having done my homework. I felt bad but as I mentioned in my last post, I am disappointed in how much theory we are doing on a conversation course!!!
On Wednesday, my dishwasher was repaired. The repairman put in the new panel, so everything is working well again.
Our Cruise tickets arrived today in the post - how exciting.
And it was Claudia's birthday today. I popped around to Bell to drop off her pressie and wish her.
On Thursday I went to gym with Heidi. It rained all day - a real soaking rainfall.
Dave phoned from Australia, so I quickly called him back on Skype. It was great to hear his news. Very proud of him becoming plantation manager. They have also bought a lovely new house in the same area that they are currently staying in.
On Friday I took some of Gerard's birthday cake to Marjory. So we sat and had tea and cake together which she seemed to thoroughly enjoy.
On the Saturday, we did our usualy grocery shopping. We then went off to Jane and Glen, for Samantha's birthday party.
We had coffee and cake and sat around chatting. The kids had a great time outside with Stefan and Lara got to play with Sam's two guinea pigs.
We stayed on for supper which was really tasty. Manu's parents were also there. We had met them previously at Stefan's confirmation. They have invited us to a juke box evening at their house on the first weekend in November.
I hope Jane will be feeling well by then. She has some bacterial infection in her blood which is causing her a lot of pain in her joints and she is battling to walk.
We left their house at 11.15pm.
We stayed at home on Sunday and I painted a wall in Stevie's room. Charlie Kotze had arrived from S.A. and later that evening we went out for dinner at Gasthaus Roth. Had the most divine steaks.
