November 2009

Has anyone heard of Ubuntu House? It's a home for abandoned and sick babies. Wow - what an experience. If you want to know more, please email me and I'll send you the details.

8th November - We went to the Jesse Clegg concert at the CTICC. Ard Mathews from Just Jinger and Dan Patlansky joined him on stage too. It was awesome. Well worth the evening out!

For those who noticed & asked about my low on the 16th September. Thank you for all your support and love. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride, some days I'm up and others down but I guess with time I'm hoping I'll have more ups than downs and in time I'll be left with a scar but it would have healed I'm sure. As the saying goes... What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger and this too will pass:-)

The last month, my mission was to get a Life and I think I'm slowly getting there as I've actually got up to quite a bit this past month. Let's see how much I can fit in next month:-)

For those that I have not seen in a long while, please feel free to pop in anytime for coffee and a chat...

October 2009

Well I think I blinked and that was the end of October month and here we are nearly half way through November...

So to recap...

5th October - Happy 30th Birthday to my brother in law, Charel. Hope your year is full of wonderful and happy times.

12th October - Congrats to Carl & Clarissa on their beautiful baby girl, Peyton Isabella. You are both very blessed and I am sure she is going to bring you lots of joy.

18th October - ok so I arranged a ladies day out playing some golf on a short game / 9 hole course at Wagner's. I hadn't played for probably more than a year so needless to say it did not go well, I came home and advertised my golf clubs and shoes on Gumtree and they are now sold. Gumtree is your friend. I feel so much better now:-)

This month I joined a social outdoor netball club - we train on a Monday and a Thursday, so if you're keen to join us, let me know as we're still looking for more players in order to fill 2 Teams.

I've also started with some fencing lessons - wow, now this I've been wanting to do for ages and by fluke found a Coach that runs his training sessions from the Italian Club. I'm really enjoying this - much better than golf! See - when 1 door closes, you need to let go and walk through the open door :-)

I've also done a bit of home decor, sold our black leather lounge suite upstairs and moved the cream coloured one upstairs - the changes look pretty good if I must say so myself.

Janine & I have been to 2 different Photography club meetings and still not found the right club for us, so I'm thinking of starting up our own social club. Anyone interested or know of a group we can join?

For our ladies Kit Kat Club outing we went for a High Tea at Myoga at the Vineyard in Claremont on the 31st October. It was superb, well worth it if you're looking for a good high tea! I even manged to get a frozen Margarita:-)

On the evening of the 31st October, we went for monthly dinner at a 'Touch of Madness' in Observatory - have a look at our monthly dinner club blog for the review.
