A nice Short Week

What a please when your week starts on a "Monday", next day is "Wednesday" and then its "Friday" whoooo hooooo!!. We only had a 3 day working week this week and I don't swim on Fridays during winter, so it was in fact only 2 days. But what a busy 2 days.
Chris has now finally finished his exams and now James starts on Monday. Thank goodness Chris has been quite good about studying for his exams and only had to revise last night, because we had a bit a drama.

Ingrid and I were swimming and she happened to get out the pool during a break and answer her phone (something she doesn't normally do) and it was the alarm company letting her know that 5 of her zones were going off, then the neighbour phoned to say they had seen someone jump over the wall into her property. So off she raced with kids in tow, armed with my neighbourhood watch radio and stun gun to catch themselves some baddies (they wish - they were loooooooooooong gone). Fortunately they didn't get away with much, other than a 19" computer monitor and a broken Ipod.

We had another lovely evening at our friends Hilary and Tony and played some poker. Other friends also joined us and here is a picture of the winner, Hilton, who literally wiped the table with us all. Poor Lynn who was with us, was in so much pain with her back, she has been seeing doctors etc but to no avail and i have just heard now that she might have to have an operation as she seems to have broken 2 vertebrae. Before anyone knew this though there were all sorts of attempts to ease her pain with electronic impulse etc. Here is everyone having their say about her back.

Tomorrow is quite a big day for old Bob, he is after watching Christopher's rugby match going to join me at our offices and sign up to become a police reservist - always did like a man in uniform, preferred the navy whites to the SAPS blues though!

With my mom being away we are trying where we can to take my Dad for drives. On the public holiday I went to pick him up to take him for a drive and some 'slap chips' which are his all time favourite. Well we got into the car and he was chatting away in his usual confused state and then suddenly piped up, "so are we going to get some slap chips". Off we went got them and he couldn't wait till we got home, so started tucking into them in the car. Here he is eating his chips.

We also fed him a chocolate muffin that he boys decided to make. It was quite sweet really, our two boys working together, or course, Chris was in charge of the chocolate chips that went in, needless to say it was missing a few by the time it reached the mixture, our choco-holic child.

Right well tomorrow should be good, and when Bob gets his uniform you can image that it will be perfect photo opps.

Sunday we all celebrate Fathers Day, so best I get the boys getting a card together.
