Greetings all on our first Monday in April gosh this year is flying. Weather wise it is absolutely gorgeous here as we've had a little rain, a big wind storm (which I slept through), balmy days and cold nights.
Another busy week behind us as the 'saga' with Hubby's car continues to his great frustration. He gets it fixed, clears all faults on the computer, takes it for a drive when it goes like a dream and then bamm, it goes back into limp mode. Good grief I feel so bad for him every time he comes limping back. So, the quest to find the fault continues. The good news is that mine and Jelly Bean's cars are both going well.
Happily I can say that Poppet, BabyBear and Sonshine have all recovered/are recovering from CoVid and BigBear has valiantly fought the same lurgy much quicker than the rest. Big Guy has declared that as far as the family are concerned the "borders to Johannesburg are currently closed to all of us". 🤣🤣🤣
There was a lot of drama when one of my oldest friends was airlifted to hospital with a suspected embolism. She spent a couple of days in ICU and Praise the Lord it turned out that no surgery was needed and although still in hospital she is stable and hoping to be released in a day or two.
Once again God proved Himself ever faithful on Tuesday when family overseas had a huge crisis. It is such a feeling of helplessness being far away and unable to do anything physically to help. I certainly have had my prayer line to Father God glowing with heavy use over the last little while. The encouragement is that the exact thing we specifically prayed for is what resulted in a positive outcome for this family. Thank You God for hearing and answering our prayers.
On Wednesday JB and I took ourselves off to Cape Town for a long promised girls day. We left nice and early and had a very successful time at Readers Warehouse only to discover that the restaurant we always go to was closed. After a quick Google search I located it a mere 2 kms away and with JB navigating we explored a few roads hitherto unknown, to us. Hmmm lunch was not exactly a roaring success, in fact it was a non event. The restaurant has re-opened in a new venue but with a major downgrade in their menu, no atmosphere and only 2 staff members. However their coffee was excellent. At that point we called it a day and stopped in SW at Woolies where we indulged in some mini pies to go LOL. My visit to the wool shop was also a fruitless non event. I know exactly what I am looking for and naturally cannot find it anywhere, so far.
On Friday Hubby left really early to fetch Princess and her boyfriend (just flow, in from Pretoria) and they spent the day and evening with us before Poppet joined us all on Saturday. Friday evening I made a big pot of curried mince and a big batch of vetkoek which disappeared in a very short time. Princess also spent the afternoon helping me cook a chicken breyani in our enormous pot. It was so heavy that I had to call one of the guys everytime it needed to be moved 💪🏻. What a fun weekend it was and even Humph made himself at home by claiming his spot on the couch, he is such a gentle giant.
Yesterday was spent extremely quietly, I did not even cook as there were sufficient leftovers to keep us all satisfied. Today it's back to the daily reality of 'what to make for supper?' Does anyone else get tired of the constant struggle of coming up with something healthy and varied ?
Despite us removing the remains of the thrice used doves nest a new couple have been romancing back and forth on the same beam. On Friday the male was obviously charged with collecting building materials for their nest. I felt quite sorry for him as anything bigger than a certain length was rejected and tossed over the edge. She has not moved in totally yet and is still directing the building operations. It would appear that we are about to see our fourth batch of baby doves raised this year.
Folks thats all my news for now, as I said a very busy week. My prayer for you reading this is that your week will be blessed and you will be strengthened with the peace and wisdom of God. Ciao Ciao.
Humph being comfy.
Chicken Breyani.
