Hotels & Facebook

Hello from JHB, sitting in my hotel room at Falstaff Hotel, just had a wonderful dinner and best part, just needed to move the tray off the bed and leave it until room service come and clean it away!

Had a easy flight from Cape Town no delays (!) and stood in line to collect luggage and saw one of my favourite people in my computer, Tertia and I was too shy to say hello. I stood at the baggage collection and just stood there in awe. Hope you are also in your hotel room, feet up, wine in hand and that your trip is a success.

What are the chances of bumping into another favourite person in my computer, Wenchy from her blog I know she lives in JHB. I'm only here for a short time but that would be awesome, I wonder if I will be too shy to say hello to her as well. Well to both of you, You Rock!

Off to take a bubble bath now, best part about being in a hotel room on my own ... total control of the TV remote ... and the TV is not even on. Just me, laptop, Ismael Lo on the MP3 and white crisp linen sheets & duvet covers. Sheer bliss!

Have a blessed week my friends in the computer and may I ask that you continue to pray for Nate, Trisha & Baby Gwyneth.

Blessings & Hidings


Wanted to write a post, got to the title and couldn't think what I wanted to say. Just wanted to let everyone know how I was feeling today. Good!

It's a Monday afternoon, survived the Monday Morning Blues and getting my mind ready for a cardio session at the gym this evening.

Feeling bad (still!) for hitting my dog ... I can't believe I did but it was in a moment of complete panic and relief that I nipped him on the leg. We took him for a walk yesterday afternoon and he disappeared in the garden and manage to climb through a fence to the neighbours behind. I searched all over for him, called him, but the little shit didn't come. I then heard dog's barking behind where we were looking for him and then realised he must be tormenting the dog's - I got into my car and drove around to look for him - left my frantic husband on the premises in case Tigger came back to look for us! Couldn't find him, was just about to drive away when I see him sniffing a plant! Can you believe it. Out of complete relief I scolded him and he just flopped down and I nipped him *hard* on the leg. Got him into the car and drove back to where Keith was still searching for him. We both ignored him for a while (all of 5 minutes ... I applied the naughty chair rule to the dog). But today I feel worse, how could I do that to him. Keith reckons Tigger has long since forgiven me ... however I still feel bad, can't wait to get home after gym and take him for a long walk and shower him with cuddles tonight.

Ok so what else am I grateful for today ... everything and more. I am blessed and I continue to thank God for this.

My dad at the ripe age of 65 got his first PC this weekend, now is wanting to register on facebook and learn to surf the net .... precious! For father's day my treat for him is to send him on a crash course to learn how to navigate his way around ... I don't have the patience to teach him so I will paysome to do it for me. Bless him.

To my friends in the computer I wish you all a happy week and I look forward to browsing (not lurking) your pages.

Keep warm & keep updating.

Mwah!




PS: Still couldn't come up with an appropriate title for this entry so will just call it ... blessings & hidings
