  I love a good advertisement.....as you know - the funny ones get me going.

  This is a local "cable tv" co.... - you can judge whether it's funny - it's typical South African humour though....

• Her first ballet concert

  Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 6:10AM / Standard Entry

  A bit of nostalgia....you guys know how I love dance - any form....

  When I fell pregnant with my daughter - one of the first things I bought was a pair of ballet shoes.

  Well she's 5 now and has just been in her first ballet concert.  A real little ladybug!

  She fluttered across the stage - the audience went; "Awhhhh!"

  I cried - her 10 year old brother burst into laughter and Dad almost fell asleep......

  Yet she had the time of her life!

• Stormy weather

  Wednesday, Sep 9, 2009 5:05AM / Standard Entry

  Remember this sunny blue sky photo I posted some time ago - Table Mountain - and the City of Cape Town in the background?

  

  Well - this is what the same view looked like - today - with a stranded ship on it's shore - and the cause of it all - the stormy weather - !

  

  And it's supposed to be Spring?

• Wow what a life!

  Thanx JRS for getting me to write some stuff again. 

  Things have been sooo busy here.  Spring is in the air and the rainy season almost over.....

  The kids are very busy - My daughter had her very first ballet concert this past weekend - it has been a hectic time - getting her to rehearsals and helping her do the hair, the make-up the costume!  I''ll post some pics once I get the professional one's from the studio.....

  Off course my little 5year old prima ballerina - stole our hearts - when she entered stage - as a ladybug - proper posture and beaming smile!  Her brother started laughing - Mommy cried and the audience went "Awhhhhhh!"

  My son is also busy with his choir performances - singing in various competitions and on invitation at a few churches and old age homes.  He's been chosen to sing in our Provincial Youth choir - but we have declined the offer - as they have to commit for 4 years.  That is asking a bit much from a 10year old....and Mom and Dad has to give almost $1800 per year for the overseas competition travels....no way Jose!

  Wushu training is in full swing.  We are learning new forms - our first long sword form and long pole form....what a new experience working with the sword!...my forearms are so weak - so I have to work at my technique...but I'm still struggling with my fitness and trying to lose more weight.....!

  My son is boasting his first bruised eye - due to an uncontrolled roundhouse kick from a class mate - during Sanshou training.  He started crying - I walked away and left it for Shifu to handle.  I'm not a Mommy in class - I'm just a fellow student.!  That's hard to do....

  I started working halfday now!  That makes me a taxi for the kids again.  Fetch from school - and then home to start the meals - try to get the house in order, homework done and get some Architectural work done as well.....

  I found this amazing link to Lego's new Architectural range....enjoy

  I promise some pics will follow soon.....
