Here is a glimpse of what I got up to:
Firstly, this was the first weekend where I had some real downtime since dad first got sick in July. He had a really good week last week going to work for a couple of hours a day, eating well and his breathing and glucose levels were pretty stable the whole week. I think we may have turned a corner and I am very grateful for all the love, support and especially the prayers.

| Spring at/on my finger tips. On Friday afternoon I took my afternoon off and went for a wonderful mani and pedi |
 |
| Saturday was officially the first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere...goodbye winter!! |
 |
| First I had my hair done which I am not happy with. Then after walking around and sorting out a couple of things in the mall I treated myself to lunch.....guess who did not start a diet on spring day!! |
 |
| On Saturday evening I made these yummy yums for our picnic on Sunday. Some are double dipped and I am sure they could be classified as sinful!! |
On Sunday it was decided that fun was the order of the day. Now I am not fond of zoo's. I guess being from Africa where I can and do go on safari and see our wildlife in their natural habitat, zoo's seem unnatural and to a degree cruel to me but the kids love it and it is fun to walk around.......so off we went on Sunday to the Pretoria Zoo. I would apologise for all the photos but well this is only a small portion of the 332 I took so I reckon you guys are getting off lightly!!

| Rhino...he made me so sad because he seemed so lonely except the truth is that is he is probably more safe in the zoo than out in the wild. |
