    The Week that Was: Races, Cupcakes and Sunsets

    Ran into an amazing sunset.

    I invented a reality show called ” The Housewives of Constantia Village.”

    Mortified at realisation that I would actually watch said show and probably enjoy it.

    Found some Ginger and Thyme bubble bath at Woolies. Try it.

    Pez found some amazing roses. The colour is called Cherry Brandy.

    A good learning curve this week and one slightly tough day.

    I’m not mentally ready to accept that we’re now in April.

    Kept repeating the Mantra: Hobs, do not be gullible on April 1st.

    I see this guy parked on Bree every morning.

    Found out that he is parked outside an abortion clinic and is actually protesting.

    I had no idea it was an abortion clinic.

    I honestly thought he was just carpooling.

    Spending more time in this part of town.

    Found an amazing antique shop that stocks comic books.

    Weird to think that comic books are considered antiques now.

    I used to love Archie comics.

    After much soul-searching, I have discovered that I am in fact:

    The Stig.

    I just lack his epic skill and dress sense.

    Very overdue catch up session.

    I’d love to tell you what we talked about.

    But then I’d have to kill you.

    And we don’t want that.

    Headed out to Killarney for the Wesbank Series.

    Left town late and HIT EVERY RED light.

    Got there with minutes to spare.

    Tested out a Fish Eye lens for iPhone. My inner photo-geek died and went to heaven.

    Watched Pez race. He didn’t race like this, don’t worry.

    Sat in a Formula VW racing car. You cannot see ANYTHING by the way.

    Stalked a Ginger ( aka @DavetheCarGuy).

    Made cupcakes.

    Major thanks to Jules for the advice on fan ovens.

    I bought a piping bag, which has reinvented icing for me.

    Ended up eating 4… you know, just to test if they were edible…. which they were.

    Definitely going to bake more often.

    The Week that Was: Surprises, Corn Thins and Karting

    A surprise birthday at Belthazar!

    Try the mussels. They are the bees knees.

    Heard about a wedding cake disaster that was actually quite incredible.

    It gave the term Fruit Cake a whole new meaning.

    Helped out my favourite Italian Mama.

    Said hi to the menagerie while I was there.

    Why do mechanics give women such hell?

    Chatted about Engagement Season and that Claire is now a DJ.

    Arrived home to a parcel from my Mum.

    Lindt, clothes and the slippers I left behind.

    My Mum rocks.

    Slipped into chocolate induced coma.

    Some roses. Some (read a lot) ice cream.

    I’ve been told that my metabolism only hangs around until I’m 27.

    Enjoying my last 2 years of guilt-free eating.

    A public holiday. {This disorientated me for the rest of the week.}

    A braai which turned into a Pizza session.

    Found out that Dave’s Dad likes The Who. Horatio would approve.

    A beautiful dinner to celebrate an upcoming wedding.

    A day with the Fea and the Jono.

    Threw chips around. Learnt about phones. Departed on an epic crusade to find Corn Thins.

    Looked at beautiful clothes. Found a ferrari. Tailed a suspect car… nearly hit a reversing taxi.

    Looked like COMPLETE tourists at Killarney with Woolies packets and subtle, golf umbrella.

    PS If you’re ever in PnP looking for corn thins… they’re in the feminine hygiene aisle. Obviously.

    Watched Dave race. In other news, Dave can actually walk on water.

    His chain fell off in the last heat. Heart broke. Despite this, he came 3rd with the world’s BEST victory celebration as he crossed the line.

    Team Obox went suitably crazy.

    Fae wants to be a Track Mommy. Jono rescued a runaway sunglasses box. I melted a sandwhich.

    Airport Run: Bye Dad!

    Lunch at Cafe Roux with the Haralam-Wynnes.

    None of us had kids… this seems to be a necessary prerequisite to eating at Cafe Roux.

    Learnt about Pet Insurance.

    Drove home. Raced through the Chappies tunnel.

    How incredible is Cape Town?

    Just look at her.

    Octopus Ear Cuff

     

    I truly love this. I know I shouldn’t.

    BUT it is awesome.

    I want it on my ear.
