Wayne's Arrival

Wayne and his girlfriend arrived Tuesday morning after spending a day with Donovan. It was good to see him again and to finally meet Rebecca who is a lovely person. Wayne is very lucky to have her for his girlfriend. After a catch-up chat under the tree over tea and coffee Diane took the two of them off to Eastgate where they all spent the rest of the day having a great shopping spree. I spent the day doing office work and relaxing after the hectic cleaning spree. Wednesday they all went to Gold Reef City for the day enjoying themselves at the funfair and casino before doing some more shopping on the way home. Bec is really enjoying shopping thanks to our prices in comparision to Oz. The evening was spent chilling under the trees having a braai. On Thursday morning Ali phoned to say Travis was sick with bronchitis again so Hubby went through to fetch him to stay so that I could look after him and get him better. Wayne and Bec spent the day relaxing and doing washing in between driving the Sunbeam and going for a drive in the DKW with Hubby. They left about half three to go back to Donovan ready for their weekend in Sun City. Diane and I went into Meyerton to get Travis’s medication and some shopping. Friday was a day of playing with Travis and giving him his medication. Saturday morning Travis was still sleeping when I left to go fetch Josh as I had offered to look after the boys while she went for her Staff Christmas Party. When we got back Hubby and Travis were playing in the Play Area in the Sandpit. Diane left about eleven to go to friends and Hubby left about twelve for his monthly Tit Meet. The rest of the day was an exhausting round of looking after the boys, putting them to sleep, feeding them and keeping them amused. To have a Toddler and a Baby the main ingredient in coping is energy and at my age it soon runs out. It was a relief when Diane and Hubby were home to help look after Josh while I bathed Travis and got him ready for bed. Diane took Josh as he was wide awake while I got Travis to sleep. Sunday I was up half five with Josh and had seen to him with his bottle and breakfast as well as had a chill coffee outside before Travis woke up. Hubby made a bacon and egg breakfast which we enjoyed under the trees as it was a lovely day with plenty of birds around. Ali arrived about eleven and after eating her breakfast chilled with us before leaving for home. Once they were gone I started to clean up after Hurricane Travis and when the cottage was done relaxed a couple of hours before finishing the rest of the house. Diane and I watched the Sunday night Movie and after all was cleaned and ready for the week ahead we finally went to bed about midnight.
