Saturday morning dawned bright and clear. I was up early to sort out the dogs and make breakfast so as to be finished in time for our visit from Ali and Travis. The dogs were away and we were eagerly awaiting the visit when they arrived just after eight. Travis was as happy to see us as we were to see him. Ali had been going to bring him a few weeks ago but at the last minute was called in to work.No sooner had they arrived then Hubby took him out to the play area where he had an absolute whale of a time for well over an hour. His favourite spot was the sandpit where he kept trying to empty the sand over the edge onto the grass. Every time Ali went around to stop him he would laugh and run to the other side where he knew he was safe. The one time Ali managed to grab him she tried to take the spade away for him but he dug his heels in and hung on with both hands. It was hilarious to watch especially as Travis won that battle. We moved inside to have a cuppa and Ali washed him down in a bucket to get rid of all the sand. After the cuppa Ali left to join her friend. Travis was more than happy to wave bye and carry on running around. Hubby had his monthly Tit Car meeting and he left for that going in my Sunbeam. His friend Don went with him. Diane and I took some pics of Travis and went down to the swing to give him a push. He fell asleep on my lap while we were on the swing. I put him down to sleep and joined him for a nap. An hour and a half later he woke up and I made him some lunch which he polished off immediately. He must have been hungry after his hectic morning. We spent the rest of the time together playing and running around outside chasing the dogs. He discovered my pink wire flamingo under the trees and spent ages walking around with it though he battled as it was taller than him .Ali came back late afternoon and after visiting for about an hour they left for home. The house looked as if a hurricane had swept through it and I quickly vacuumed. Once this was done Diane and I chilled with a glass of wine to relax after the hectic day. Hubby arrived home after six and Don came in for a coffee which extended into an evening visit. Don left after eight and we had a snack before chilling in front of the TV for the rest of the night.
Sunday was my usual breakfast in bed which Hubby made about half eight. It was a lovely morning again with plenty of birds serenading us in the trees outside the bedroom window. It was nearly ten before I got up to load the dishwasher and clear the kitchen. After feeding the dogs I cleared some washing and late morning Diane and I went into Meyerton. We did shopping at the grocery store before getting Hubby’s medication and fish platters for lunch. The afternoon was spent chilling, reading and napping.We had flapjacks and cuppocino before Diane and I went for a cycle around the area. It was wonderful to be able to get on the bikes and go again. The last two weeks has been continuous bad weather and we were unable to go at all. Our ride took us an hour and we really got in some good exercise. It was chill time with our wine when we got back. Our fish lunch had been huge so we weren’t hungry – except Hubby of course - who had a snack. Diane and I chilled in front of the TV watching the Sunday night movie which was `The Proposal’ with Sandra Bullock. It was hilarious and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a late nightcap before going off to bed. I was too tired to even look at my book.
Have a good week.
