Well this will be my last post before we go on our holiday, and I am so happy. The afternoon has really dragged though, and it has been a stressful morning, trying to get everything sorted out, that needed to be sorted out.
I joined this “community building” site called Facebook, which Jackie introduced me to, and it is surprising how many people you know are on it. It is a lovely way to check out what everyone is up to, but I think that I still like to have my blog so that I can write long stories… Very sentimental about things like that.
I hope to write while we are away, and I will try post when I can, and when there is enough signal for the phones to connect to the internet. I think the thing that I am looking forward to the most is that I won’t have to rush around according to a schedule. Yes at the Kruger we will have to make sure that we are back in the camp by 6pm but apart from that there won’t really be a schedule. And this time I do plan to finish Wyrd Sisters this time, and I have some other books that I would like to get stuck into as well. The good thing is that during the evenings we will be able to relax and do that.
Something that has amazed me so far, is how people have been astounded that I am going away for 2 weeks and they want to know how I managed to get all the leave, like it would have been mission impossible. I have to smile about it though.
Tomorrow is going to be a runaround, and Paul emailed me a little while ago to say that he will be working tomorrow which is a bit of a bummer. So, I will have a bit more running around to do, but that is fine. I hope that I will get everything done on time. Everything includes dropping my budgies off at my mother’s for the holiday. At least they will be able to keep Cheeky company. I was thinking of starting the run around this afternoon rather so that I have less to worry about tomorrow. I think I will do that.
I am also going to collect my new book, The Power of a Praying Woman, which I hope will be a great read, and something that I will really benefit from. You know, sometimes you get so busy praying for other people that you end up forgetting about yourself, and I don’t think it is completely the way things should be. So, hopefully I will have my nose and heart stuck into that one for a while on our holiday, and I will come back feeling energized by that as well.
That’s me. Don’t forget to check back every now and then to see what’s happening. Unfortunately I will only post pictures when I get back.

Talking Budgies
Alright, so this afternoon, I took the leap and I have bought a nest box for the birds. BlueBoy and BabyBlue seem to be very lovey dovey, and have been for an age, so I reckon that it would be an idea to see if they want to make a little family. I just need to check with the lady from the pet store how old the birds would have been when I got them, so I make sure that I don't kill them by letting them breed too young.
Well, it is almost time for hot chocolate and a movie. Snuggling with my hubby and watching a comedy is a good way to spend the evening.
I have attached another pic of the clouds from this afternoon's trip home. They were in a fascinating circular pattern, as if there was a cyclone eye right above Pinetown. Still looked stunning.

The hot and cold of it...
I meant to post these pictures yesterday, but didn’t get a chance, and plus one was taken on the way home.
The grey clouded one was yesterday morning. They were the most fascinating clouds ever, and then on the way home, the sun set was awesome, so I figured I would capture that as well.
The weather has taken a very cold turn here and we are all freezing (in Durban, 11 deg C is freezing), and dressed up in our winter woolies. That should last about a week and then we will be back into the swing of warm sunny days again.
There are 5 more sleeps till we leave for our holiday and looking forward to it immensely. Two weeks away from the hustle and bustle of life, and into the hustle and bustle of nature. I do know that it will be freezing in the berg, and not the “Durban freezing” either. The good and proper kind. I just need to remember some lip ice so that my lips don’t end up looking like they are a hundred years old.
Last weekend, was a bit of a blur for me, but nothing terrible or anything. The Super 14 Rugby final was on Saturday, and after and awesome game, the Bulls beat the Sharks by a point or two, I wasn’t paying terribly much attention, however, I must give credit to the guy who scored the last try, it was splendid! It was a great game to watch, and probably all too stressful for most of the country. On Sunday we went to the Bot Gardens to have a farewell picnic for our friends Linda and Gareth, who have moved to Pietermaritzburg. We will still see them, so it was just a get together more than a final farewell. It was stinking hot, and there was also a berg wind which just made it hotter. But, but the evening, it had cooled somewhat, and by Monday morning, the jerseys were being tried on to make sure they fit.
