NZ's South African Adventure

Saturday, September 15, 2007

Looks like the temps are starting to head up the mid twenties for next week. Perfect. We're ready for some pool time. And beach time. We made a short trip to Kirstenbosch to scout out the flowers for Al and Ruth before they come next Saturday. The flowers are in great shape and the gardens look well maintained.

On a funny note, we had a "potluck" for the workers at Carla's office on Wednesday. I was prepared to make a casserole, have buns ready as well as a bottle of wine in case nobody else brought. Well turns out that the famous potluck is not well known here. We had five extra adults and two children turn out and in total they brought two bottles of juice and some plates! We panicked. Well not quite, but I had quickly prepared some beans, with tomatoes and flavoured with curry and onions. Turned out to be a highlight. Carla whipped out a macaroni salad to top up the leftovers from the night before. Everyone seemed to have enough to eat. We just looked at each other and laughed (inwardly).
Henry is off this afternoon for a play date with a friend from school and then off to a sleepover at a friend from church. Katy is at a play date at a swimming pool this afternoon and then we're off for Indian food for supper tonight.
