Chilling with Wayne

Wayne and Bec arrived back here on Tuesday morning and after unloading their bags joined us on a trip to Heidelberg. In Heidelberg we visited the Gold and Diamond Shop which they both enjoyed spending ages browsing through everything. We had a late lunch in the tea garden where we were entertained by a tortoise and a family of Silke bantams. Bec took loads of pics and was feeding the tortoise grape leaves and whole grapes. It was cute to see it munching the grapes. We all enjoyed our lunch of Italian bread open sandwiches and drinks. After lunch Bec did some shopping for her family and we then drove around looking at the historical buildings like the old jail. Before returning home we drove through Henley-on-Klip as Wayne wanted to show Bec the village and the Weir.
On Wednesday we went into Chinatown and Eastgate where Bec was thrilled to do some more shopping for herself and for her family. Wednesday evening we went back into town to the Italian Club where the Model Car Club was having the last meeting of the year. It was a lovely chill evening having a good meal and wine while Hubby got himself a couple of cars to add to his collection.
Thursday was a quiet day with Wayne and Hubby playing with the old cars. They had a drive in the blue Plymouth and then tried to start the Studebaker but had no joy. Hubby was most upset as usually it starts straight away but with him being wheelchair bound for so long he has neglected the cars and he thinks the fuel pump must have packed up. Thursday afternoon Hubby took Wayne and Bec down to the Klip River to try some fishing as Wayne has been wanting to fish in a river for ages now. These poor Ozzies really miss out on a lot of things. They both enjoyed the experience even though they didn’t catch anything.
Friday morning Wayne and Bec packed their things ready to go to Donovan and after loading the car we left for The Glen. First stop was Dischem where they bought themselves insect repellents ready for their trip to Mpumalanga on Sunday. After some more shopping we made our way to The Ocean Basket where I had my favourite of Prawns and they had Sushi. Bec is really having a good time eating out here as she finds the service and food standards excellent compared to Oz. Once the meal was over we made our way to the car and left to drop Wayne and Bec off at Donovan’s place. Diane and I returned home where we chilled for the rest of the afternoon. Hubby went out to a car meeting and Diane went out with a friend to see the latest Harry Potter movie. I had a leisurely evening doing some cleaning in the cottage in between watching TV.
Saturday both Diane and I were feeling rather grim with infected sinuses so didn’t do much at all. Sunday we went into Alberton City where we met Ali and Travis to do some Christmas shopping. We were home lunchtime and after dosing up and resting I started cleaning the lounge. All the curtains have been washed and once windows are clean I can put them back and do the rest of the room. Yay the place will look good for Christmas and the New Year.
All for now. Have a great week and drive carefully if you are going away.
