Christmas House

We went driving through Fish Hoek before Christmas to see what people had done to their houses....this was the best one > last year as well! :)

Merry Christmas

Lying in the bath this morning & guess who went floating by my window!?

Apetown

Imagine our delight when we discovered quite accidentally while browsing the internet that our quirky (ex) neighbour is a published author! :) When I told Sven I had found him out & had bought his book he said that I had just doubled his sales... Very witty, Sven :)

When we were away this weekend, I finished reading his book 'Apetown' to Geoff in the car & in various chilled environments (beach carpark etc) during the trip.

In my humble opinion, I think this book is well worth a read - its so "Cape Town", contains great metaphors & really fun character descriptions...

Just so you know, I really am waiting for the screenplay, Sven!
Apetown would make a great "Cape Town" movie... or maybe the book was so descriptive & vividly written that it feels like I did see the movie...Either way: I'm chuffed to know the author and have read his book... I love to see what friends are achieving creatively! :)

Bee & Gees

My sister and I have private nick names that we call each other (private because nobody else calls us these names). They come from a movie we saw a long time ago called 'Nel' about a girl who grows up wild & free & out of civilisation & gets studied by psychologists etc...anyhow she has an absent sister who she sings a rhyme with in which she calls her sister 'Chickabee'. There is so much love in the way that she sings the name that we started calling eachother 'Chickabee' ...T'Neal shortened my name to 'Bee' ...from here I've recieved numerous gifts relating to bees (which I do love!)..amongst them, the BEE MOVIE

I found this little 'pollen jock' bee from the movie at the Milnerton Market. When you press his stinger his wings flap and his arms flex: strong-man style! I love it. He now guards my honey jar...

Geoff and I went away from Friday and returned today to a rather large to-do list... While we were in George I got my hands on my mom's Bee Gees greatest hits CD which I've been listening to all day. Its amazing how many songs I know from years of KFM radio encounters...and had never known were Bee Gees songs.. PLUS, I discovered that T and my song (performed once at karaoke), "Islands in the Stream" was actually written by the Bee Gees! (Performed by Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton = awesome!)




These men were brave. So very brave to sing such soppy lyrics wearing outfits such as pictured above!...from the look of those pants, no WONDER they sang so high! :)

Shop Dressing

I was in Woolworths in George with my mom at the begining of this month & we came across this unfortunate looking manequin...
The great news in our lives: T'Neal is preggo! It is so exciting! She is going to have a girl around the time of my next birthday-between 3 and 8 June and I may become an aunty on my very birthday!
Just had to tell my blog cos I couldnt before and now the complications time is over and she is all perfect :)
