Another week at home and the usual round of catching up with family and friends and eating and drinking…such fun.
The best part about being at home, on leave, is being able to sleep in. Getting up on dark, cold winters mornings to go to work is not my idea of fun. I could get used to this life.
Saturday, the day before our departure, was busy with shopping for home and holiday. This was in between breakfast with friends and dinner with Kirst. She was not in the best of moods because we were leaving her alone and she “misses us sooooooo much when we are not there and she is sooooo lonely and to make it worse we are taking her sibling away as well”. Gareth has some much needed leave and will be joining us for the next 2 weeks.
The other family member that is not enchanted by our comings and goings is Morgan, our cat. He totally ignores us for at least 3 days after we return from a trip. He has just returned to sleeping in our bed and then he caught us packing and went off to sulk. The dogs and Tonto, our more forgiving cat, on the other hand love us unconditionally and are excited to have us around. The ducks don’t give a …. whether we are home or not.
I am looking forward to the next leg of our trip to the western part of the country, namely Tankwa Karoo and the Cape and Stellenbosch area.
