Wowee. Second work week of the year done and dusted, and it feels like two months rather than two weeks since we were on leave. It’s a combination of intense heat, slow internet and sheer hard work. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have any highlights to share – view our latest batch below…
Saturday, 16 January 2016: Panama Jacks lunch, swimming in the icy Atlantic
Sunday, 17 January 2016: Brunch at Steenberg’s Bistro Sixteen82
Wednesday, 20 January 2016: Midweek sunset
That’s all, folks. Sounds like we’re in for a spot of rain this weekend, will bring welcome relief from the incessant heat!
There was so much love for our recent doggie walkies pics that this past weekend we stored up our energy and went for an even longer trot around the block than last time. Sadly we didn’t get to a single milkshake for me (gasp!) but we did fit in lots of relaxing things, as you’ll see below…
Saturday, 25 July 2015: Panama Jacks’ lunch, doglets wear their winter jerseys
Sunday, 26 July 2015: Long doggie walks, perfect Italian breakfasts
Tuesday, 28 July 2015: Smokey cloud over Woodstock
Thursday, 30 July 2015: Dins at re-opened Ikura Earth Cafe
That’s all, folks! Until next time, where there’s bound to be at least one milkshake and you can see my new hair colour and whether Husband lives up to his promise of taking a dunk in the Wintery sea… 🙂
The last weekend was the last long weekend we’ll see it a while, and we celebrated it in style. Yes, I rhymed for a reason – to make you smile 🙂 Here’s what you missed…
Friday, 1 May 2015: Worker’s Day, Bassie has her stitches out, Cattle Baron lunch buffet
Saturday, 2 May 2015: Bo-Kaap street explore, Panama Jacks lunch
Sunday, 3 May 2015: Continental breakfasts and windy beach walks

Wednesday, 6 May 2015: Owlie office mug jealous of cakes set in plain sight
Thursday, 7 May 2015: #FirstThursdays on Wale Street
That’s all, folks. We’re back to regular two-day weekends (sob) so expect the posts to be slightly less photo-heavy for a while. Enjoy and stay warm – I sense we’re on the verge of the 2015 ‘bangers-and-mash-capades‘! 🙂
Is it just me or is time really going faster? Can’t believe we’re almost at the end of March already. A quarter of the way through 2015. Wasn’t Christmas just a few days ago? No? I guess I can always scroll through my past weekly updates to see that’s not the case. Speaking of scrolling through, I hope you enjoy scrolling through my highlights of the past week…
Friday, 13 March 2015: Best sunset yet
Saturday, 14 March 2015: Lunch with all sorts of parents at Panama Jacks
Sunday, 15 March: Swimming in Fish Hoek, lupper at Woodbridge Island
Tuesday, 17 March 2015: House of Monatic factory tour, very late St Patrick’s Day dins
Thursday, 19 March 2015: Internal branding conference at Aquarium
That’s all, folks! We’ve had quite a few late nights this week, so looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Hope yours is just what you need 🙂
The nicest thing about owning a house is you can do whatever you like with it, and hopefully increase its value in doing so. That’s why one of the first things we did after moving in to our Very First Housie two-and-a-half months ago was to knock some nails in the walls. But of course we have far grander plans than that. And as Husband is quite the MacGyver-type handyman, he’s happy to do it himself instead of paying someone else to do it for him. That’s why I now have the most beautiful light fittings, ceiling fans, bedroom cupboard area, and thanks to last weekend’s efforts, a very strong support structure for a lovely sheltered patio area. But of course, that’s not all we did…
Friday, 6 February 2015: Loadshed roof exploring
Saturday, 7 February 2015: Breakfast at Melissa’s, lunch at Panama Jacks and first stage of patio beam installation
Sunday, 8 February 2015: Breakfast at Cafe Lacomia, drinks at Captain’s Kitchen

Thursday, 12 February 2015: Refreshing (alcoholic) work lollies
Friday, 13 February 2015: Office Valentine’s Day celebrations
That’s all for now, folks – but this is my birthday weekend, so I’m sure there’ll be a cake or two involved – have some for me 😉
