a superb sunday

Yesterday we drove up to Pretoria to meet Jenni and Esmé at the Botanical Gardens, to enjoy a relaxed afternoon in the sun, reading books and listening to the string quartet play. Then we drove past Moyo at Zoo lake on the way home to visit Carla who was here for a week from the UK.

Mike being himself - much to Esmé's enjoyment...


Mike & Carla...


Mike and pork-chop me...

Behold the beauty...

...that is my new car!

My new rust-orange Yaris was delivered yesterday, amid excitement and champagne in the office. With only 5000km on the clock, anti-smash & grab and centro locking custom fitted, i can't believe it's all MINE!! (So are the repayments... bleurgh!)

(albeit the car looks red in this pic, it is actually orange-ish)

New baby in the family

So, today marks the day that I get rid of my hunka-junk of a car! Although I'm sentimental about my first dream car, my Tazz was costing me WAY to much to fix odd breakages every month. So, I decided it was a case of now or never...

Say goodbye to my tazz... and hello to new car payments!
