Weekend

What an amazing weekend this was, and I think it was because it was the first time in a long time that me and my daughters have spent an entire day together, without any arguing.

Friday night I did not feel like being alone at home so went to the Wimpy for a coffee, I took a newspaper and thought that I would read

well when I came to put my glasses on I had left them at home, so the only part of the newspaper I could read was the headings and even those had to be quite large for me to see them without my glasses, I felt really stupid ……………

We drove through to Krugersdorp on Saturday morning, to go and decide on the decorations that my daughter wanted for the top of her cup cake wedding cake. That was done in a jiffy a shop called the Cup Cake Connexion had some really amazing cakes, so of course we bought ourselves a whole load of cup cakes, they are absolutely evil, once you have one you really just cannot stop, I normally don’t like chocolate cake, but these cup cakes were chocolate, topped with caramel and then topped again with chocolate.

The only misfortune was my sister as trying to avoid going into the traffic in reverse she had a slight altercation with a lamp post……….. it just jumped out behind her, luckily the only damage was a broken tail light and loss of face because boy was she embarrassed.

The we needed to find something to put the cup cakes on , so off ,too another shop we went, they did not have what we were looking for, so we went to a glass shop, well I can imagine what Alice must have felt went she landed up in Wonderland, it was amazing, class in every colour every size, every design, we had no problems what so ever finding what we wanted, and the prices were a third of what you would pay anywhere else, so I will definitely be going back there…………

Then we went for breakfast, I had smoked salmon, absolute delicious, Wimpy and Steers breakfasts, although good just cannot compare ..…

with one of these amazing breakfasts.

Then we hit the shops we had one hour to find my daughter a pair of shoes for her wedding, well 20 shops later the last pair of shoes she tried on ………. presto she found the shoes she was looking for …..

and then I realized if we had gone around the shopping centre the other way it would have been in the first shop we went into ………………

The we rushed back to Heidelberg for a meeting with the lady at the wedding venue, it is all becoming so real, I think I am beginning to get panic attacks, in a few days time, she will not be my little girl anymore she will be someone else’s wife ………………………

The we rushed back to Monte Casino for supper at John Dory, we sat on the top floor looking out over the fountains, the food was lovely but just once I would like to go there and not have to rush because we were going to the theatre for the production of Cats, it was amazing the costumes, the lighting, the songs, the acting, one of the cats pounced on my youngest daughter and she almost pounced into her sisters lap. I cannot believe that it lasted 3 hours the time went so quickly.

We switched off the lights at about 1 o’clock and then I was woken by a scream that would have made the cats in the concert very proud, my youngest daughter was in such pain, she was as white as a sheet, and she looked awful, I gave her my normal cure all Panado, and after 20 minutes she was still in pain, I took her through to the emergency section of the hospital. They called out the docter, and it could be a number of things, but the gave her an injections and as soon as the pain had subsided they allowed us to go home………. What a way to finish the day ………………..
