Summer Holidays...part 1

Well, every day since the summer holiday has begun, the weather has been overcast, with thunderstorms every now and then. So our plan of spending as much time in the pools as we could has ended up with us doing this......

That's the kids, and the dog, laying "in bed" at 10 am in the morning, while it storms outside!

So it's down to plan B...which has included some of this.....

....a bit of this.......

....a whole lot of this.....

...even more of these......

....which in turn led to this.......

Tomorrow however, it's off to buy some white Tee's, so we can decorate them South African style, just in time for the Soccer World Cup on Friday. 

So be sure to check back here, so we can show y'all our art work.

It's cold. It's grey. It's raining. It's what I like to call "mizzly". And it's rather dreary. Okay, so we aren't stuck in blizzards under 5 feet of snow like the poor souls on the east coast of the US are.

So I have decided I am going to ponder on happier, brighter, warmer and more cheerful things today. Something along the lines of this....
