Another rainy day so we decided to see “The Just So Stories” at the Kalk Bay Theatre. It was fabulous entertainment and very full so we sat on the floor.
Jon invited us for a movie at Cavendish. There was nothing suitable so we made our own entertainment. Zoe wanted pizza. Amy wanted sushi and Jon wanted desserts. So we all shared pizzas, then up the escalators for Sushi to share again, and then a long, long ride to the bottom to find super desserts in new place in Woolworths. It was fun.
The next day Charnay and I were sad to say goodbye. It was a lovely week.

Wind and rain today made this a good day for the theatre. Amy, Zoe and I saw an excellent Noddy show in the foyer of the Artscape Theatre. I shall have to borrow some grandchildren so that I can go again next week! After the show the actors met the audience and shook hands with us . Noddy gave each child a gift after greeting them.
The Aquarium was wonderful again. We saw sting rays, sharks, turtle and all type of fish in the large tank and more in the seaweed forest tank. We were lucky to be there in time for the fish feeding which only lasts 5 minutes. The sharks only get fed once a week on Sundays. They do help themselves to food by eating the fish that are swimming in the tank with them.
Amy and Zoe enjoy all the tanks and displays but it is the microscope which keeps their interest the most. The seals were missing today.

Tuesday was perfect for swimming and cycling in Fish Hoek. Zoe and Amy cycled very well in the car park. Then shared a strawberry milkshake before climbing the jungle gym. We returned to Eight Bells for lunch.
After reading time, we drove to Simonstown to see the penguins and practice cycling again. After enjoying the jacuzz everyone was ready for bed.

Sheltering from the wind below the wall io Fish Hoek beach.
We began the sunny morning in the jacuzzi. Breakfast on fruit and cereal with Patricia’s crunchies. We went to Fish Hoek to look at hiring a bike for Zoe. Instead we found a super secondhand purple bike with fairy wheels.
Amy and Zoe spent an hour whizzing round the Fish Hoek beach car park in the strong wind. There were only 5 crashes and all recovered by bedtime.
Yvonne, Saskia and Kiana lunched with us and played dressing up from the box. We laughed a lot.
We spent an hour watching video of Zoe and Amy at Kwa Maratani.

The bulldog Charnay arrived on Friday. Sunday morning in bed Amy and Zoe entertained Jon and I with the dressing up box. When they had put on as many clothes as they could possible wear they decided to dress Jon with the Scottish wig/hat. It made him speak with a Scottish accent which caused much laughter.
Jon prepared a super breakfast of poached eggs and salmon on English muffings with Bearnaise sauce. Delicious! Amy built my new Dolls house under Jon’ supervision.
We went to the garage to try out the bikes. The smaller one suits Amy.
We enjoyed babootie for lunch with meringues and icecream and mangoes fpr dessert.
Jon and the dogs went home and we enjoyed the evening with a roaring fire.
