Man this is funny - I don't like advertisements - but when they are entertaining I love them!  Judge for yourself!

Before the sun rises - you sit at the breakfast table - with the traditional blow out candle - in your school uniform and try to figure out what your 5 year old sister wrote in your birthday card??

Then you go to your favourite family Restaurant, with your sister and cousins and pretend you are Indians.

The SPUR is what the steakhouse is called - with an American Indian theme...strange but true.....

You get your baby cousin to have his face painted - like an "incredible super hero"

You show the other cousin - how brave you are.

And have you uncle and aunt pose for photographs.

as well as the Not so boring - Mom and Dad.

Then you go Ice skating with your best friends from school

Though you've never done this before.

But Dad with his skinny legs has.

And your sister takes her friend as well and they do the mini-rink thing.

Then you go back home and play Monopoly

and eat the South African version of a Hotdog - with a lamb sausage called "Boerewors"  or Farmer's sausage.  Yum

Awesome!

I have passed!

My son and I completed our very 1st Wushu grading this morning.

It was a gruelling 2 hour fitness test - with leg raise combinations, kick and punching routines - forms and general all over fitness testing.

I almost passed out twice - but a fellow wushu team mate - stood behind me - and did her exercises and kicking where I could see her in the mirror - thus pushing me to finish.

I had been sick this past week - so I really struggled with my breathing - but in the end we made it.

On Monday evening my son and I will be receiving our brand new Red sashes - at the school's grading ceremony - I think I'll just cry!

From now on - it is going to be even more harder work - to keep up and improve on the fitness as the levels will also become much harder...let's see.

No photos have been added - IT WAS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!

I thought that it would be a good idea to post some pictures of a few homes I have designed - so that you know I'm not just surfing the net all day.

these homes are situated within a security complex - meaning the area is walled and you have to enter via a boom gate only on acknowledgement of the owner.

The Architecture is supposed to be governed by a Body Corporate which had a set of strict Architectural guidelines set in place.  That stipulated the style of the building, the finishes and height restrictions.  Looking at my designs you'll notice that I circumvented the Double story rule...which was not allowed - due to the views to the Bay area....but we created basement levels - thus remaining within the height  zone.

These aren't masterpieces - I shall add, they are plain residential buildings with a limited budget.

The first house - was the original farm homestead (as the piece of ground used to be a vineyard and was subdivided and rezoned).....we gave it a total "makeover".

And then - the finished product!

HOUSE 2

This roof was tricky - but we did it!

HOUSE 3

This house is actually 2 in one - A dear lady and her aged mother lives here....with their gorgeous Cats!

HOUSE 4

This house is still under construction......what a nightmare to get the staircase to work....the builder set out the lower level incorrectly....I was furious!  But we made a plan and the client was happy!

Ain't she sweet!  My daughter on the beach last Friday at sunset - a storm was brewing - and winter is officially here!

That is Cape Town in the background....and the beach is called "Bloubergstrand" - translated Blue Mountain Beach.!
