Diary of Happy People

so everybody keeps asking me "WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY" so here is what i did last week:

monday - went to fetch renette (Ex Neigbour) and ryan from their new house in kensington - did a few chores including me joining the library and then went we shopping, back to renette for coffee. david had lunch there. got home at 1pm - david went to sleep - i cleaned house and washed morning's dishes. david woke up at 2.30 - it was raining & pouring so went to get thomas the tank engine dvd (his new favourite). deon came home and then it was time to start cooking supper. had supper at 6pm, bathed david and then time for bed. deon attempted to stay awake to watch another installment of our james bond project, octorpussy.... he failed miserably so i had a chance to finish watching my chick flick, atonement - very good - was in bed at 11pm

tuesday - renette and ryan came to our house and then we went to Karyn Marnitz for coffee - a few other woman and children were there - had a lovely morning, chatting, eating cake and drinking good coffee, home at 12.00 - Noodle lunch and looong sleep - whilst i prepared supper and caught up on emails. when he woke at 3pm it was a lovely afternoon so we took a blanket, some books and toys out on to the front lawn and read and played with Xavier (little girl from next door) deon was home by 4.30 and they played in the garden, fixed the car and hung out together till supper time. bath and bed for noodle a bit late tonite so i only got to wash dishes and make deon's "school" lunch after 10pm so was a late one for me :)
wednesday is playcentre day - decided to walk there today - good 20 minute walk up 2 BIG hills - really enjoyed the exercise - playcentre till 11h45 and then walk (ran down hills) back home - lunch and sleep for the noodle - swept and cleaned again - ja, i know :) - then we went to town to do some shopping and then went for a visit to Renette - home just after 5pm - Deon was home from work so we all sat/played in the garden as it had been a scorching hot day and enjoyed the evening together catching up on our days'. supper, wash dishes, sandwiches made and david asleep all before 8.30 as my Wednesday nite TV programs start then - season 3 of Heroes and Prison Break
thursday morning and with nothing definate planned i really had to think out the box - remembered that the library did kids' mornings on a Thursday so we rushed there but david decided he did not like it - i think too many strangers in too small a space singing Rudolf The Red Nosed Rhindeer was just not his thing... so we decided to go the park instead at which we stayed till 12h00 - swinging, sliding and climbing - that is definately his thing... back home for lunch and sleep after hearing brilliant news from the doctor that all was well with my bloodtests so my Work Permit application can go in now - Yippee !!
after sleep we read some books and then had to go back to doctor's rooms for him to sign off paperwork and then home and deon called to say he needed to be fetched from work so back in the car...
deon and david played in the garden for a couple hours in the evening, supper, bath and a nice skype chat to sue and grampa moi and it was bed time. Deon actually washed the dishes tonight while i made his steak sandwiches for work and then we settled down to watch a DVD - another late night :)
Friday is Playcentre day - TG - David wanted to walk again, but alas it was raining so an indoor day at Playcentre - home for lunch and sleep and then to Renette to do 2 loads of washing. Then home to Deon who was getting ready to go out to his work Xmas Party, back in the car to drive him to town. On the way home David I decided we deserved some fish & chips for supper which we then eat sitting on the deck - it was a lovely evening. Deon had a great time and was home laaaate via a lift from a designated driver - NOBODY even thinks about driving drunk here !
Ok, that was a our week - we had a fantastic weekend which will be next week's blog
hoping with all hope that our container arrives this week !!
