  • Friday 18th January

     

     

     

    I had the alarm set for 4:50am.

    Tim woke me at 4:30am asking what time I was getting up!
    I could've had 20mins more sleep bummed

     

    I raced through the shower and was ready to leave when Anson arrived to get Tim.

    I left just before 6am.

    They stopped off at The Croft to fix the water before leaving.

    I got to town at 8:15am and had time to do a few jobs before my 9am appointment at Nelson Beauty.

    I had delegated a few of my jobs to Tim to do as he had more time than I was going to have.

    That took the pressure off me.

    Tim had a glaucoma check - got the results back and all is good thankfully.

    He has to have them regularly as his father went blind from it and his 3 siblings all have it.

    I raced out to pick up Mahalia & Azzan from Teapot Valley camp at 11:30am.

    I had to get Mahalia back to her orthodontist appointment by midday.

    The children were very tired but also very, very hyped with all the fun they had.

    I was so glad to hear Mahalia was happy and planning to go to the next time as she had been a bit daunted about her first camp.

    The orthodontist was running late - typical when I had our appointments running back to back.

    I text Anson & Tim to get to the accountants and start without me which they did.

    So for the next 2-3 years a 6 weekly visit to the orthodontist is going to be scheduled in amongst all the other things like music lessons etc!

    The braces were all tightened and this time they are pink.

    Mahalia is planning to change colours every visit!

    We finally got to the accountants.

    The children just wanted to sit in the Terrano and wait for me after they walked up the street to get themselves some cold drinks.

    When we were finished I dropped them at the library while I zipped off to my counseling session.

    The guys had to go load up the trailer etc.

     

    We then all met up again at Hangar 58 for a business meeting at 3:30pm with Noel, Mandy, Ross and some prospective clients.

    Unfortunately it was a bit too noisy there for hearing so next time we will go elsewhere.

    Food was good though.

    I was hungry as I hadn't stopped for breakfast or lunch!

    At 5pm Tim & Anson left with Azzan, Mahalia & Lily and headed off home.

     

    I went to visit Estelle for an hour and then met up with David & Sasha at Crusoe's for dinner.

    We had a wonderful time with Anat, Rami & Ellie.

    If you are a total foodie then you just have to go visit Rami.

    He is the absolute best chef in town!!

    .
    Sasha & I both enjoyed the Chicken supreme- Pesto stuffed Skin-off roasted chicken breast, served over Moroccan couscous with pomegranate accompanied by onion, tomatoes and garlic sautéed baby spinach - it was to die for melt in your mouth!

    David had the Lamb Rump - marinated in yoghurt & marjoram, roasted to medium, served with red wine sauce, accompanied by garlic roasted gourmet potatoes and butter sauteed trio cauliflower, grilled with mornay sauce.

     

    Then to finish our evening we had the following divine desserts.

     

    Drunken strawberries with cream & ice-cream for David.

    Orange Creme Chantilly with fresh orange segments and triple sec for me

    and

    Brandied infused fresh cherries with dark chocolate enriched Greek yoghurt

    Sasha couldn't wait for a spoon!

    Finger dippin' great!!

     

    We finally rolled ourselves out of there around 10ish.

    I shot back to Estelle's to pick up stuff I left behind then headed to David & Sasha's for the night.

    I was so incredibly tired that I just fell into bed and slept very soundly.
