Firstly the weather has changed a LOT, it rains about 5 days a week and when I say rain ... I actually mean storm! It's absolutely fantastic, John and I love this kind of weather, it just means lots of tea, our beautiful little fireplace, snuggling with our mittens and a nice blanky! Nothing better!
My little winter-boy!
It was also my dad's birthday on the 11th, so Baie geluk met Pa se verjaarsdag! We unfortunately couldn't spend the day with my dad, but we went through to Hermanus the weekend after to wish him and to just have a bit of family-time, which was really nice.
Just before going through to Hermanus, we went for breakfast with Garth, Bianca, Martin, Kelly and little Luca at Olympia in Kalk Bay.
The coolest little Luca at breakfast!
I haven't updated our blog in ages, due to me going back to work for 2 weeks. I was complaining to Fran at my birthday, saying I'm so bored at home and would love to do something before the baby comes, so she phoned me the very next week and asked me to come help them in their offices at the Ambassador Hotel. It was such a nice experience, I had the most BEAUTIFUL drive to work every morning, all the way past Hout Bay, through Camps Bay and Cliffton till I got to Bantry Bay. With the beautiful 12 Apostles mountain on my right and the bluest ocean on my left. You're just guaranteed to have a good day with a drive like that. Then, to top it all off, my husband bought me the hottest wheels EVER. I would like to introduce you guys to the newest addition to our family ... my super sexy black Jeep Cherokee Ltd!
So last Saturday, the British and Irish Lions played the Springboks and we decided to have a Big Boerie Braai at our house with some friends. It was such a nice day and we had some good fun! Some photos to tell the tale ...

Ohhh sooo much LLLove between Marc and Lauren
Rykie (22 weeks preggies) and I (28 weeks preggies), friends since the age of 6 and now we're preggers together! Absolutely fantastic!

On Sunday, Marc, Lauren, John and I decided to park our car in Muizenberg and walk to Kalk Bay for breakfast. It was such a nice walk along the water, we went to a little farmers organic market, we shopped in all the little Kalk Bay-like shops, had breakfast at Habaneros and ended our morning with a delicious ice cream while walking back to our car. Its such a beautiful walk ... you gotta do it!

The train we wanted to take back, but decided not to.
Tussen treine, tussen stasies ... le daar basies ....
We put money on the train track and waited for the train to come by and crush it

Our day today ended on a really scary and disappointing note. John went to go watch the surfing competition at Kalk Bay and while he was getting into his car, a refuse truck came flying past and took his front door off the car. Apart from a gash out of his leather boots, and his car being soooo damaged, he is fine, which is all that counts at the end of the day. The refuse truck actually drove off and didn't stop, luckily John flagged down a police van and I started phoning around to find out who the truck belongs to. The truck driver arrived at the police station and John got his case number. So luckily it will be sorted out, but this is what John's car looks like. He could've lost a leg!
Note how the door is being held up by tie-downs!
That's it from the Woollams ... till ... probably tomorrow!
