Some fun on the run

Some of the fun we had been having didn't get posted for obvious reasons..

So to break some of the serious. Here is some of the fun.

Feeding the animals and laughing the Alpacas with their new haircut.

 Posing with the roses, family self portrait.

Sharing ice cream in the pool on a Sunday..

 Lasers at the music show..

 Some bike fun with the Christian Ass of Bikers SA.

 This was fun.. the castle is sealed. The chairs pull 5m up. The rip open the door and you fall and bounce. My feet and M in green. Twins looking through the window.

 Bikes wowed and scared us. Reactions: Wow.. Cool. And LOUD!

 K was not impressed that I just put my bag down. What if someone takes it!

 Waterball fun.

 Cheerleaders in training.

 And us again. Random Sunday at the golf course after a walk.

Sunday surely is a fun day..

Sunday deserves a lazy start. This is my opinion. So since that is the ideal, of course, in my life that means a early start with 1-3 little people on my bed. Before 6. Best response to that? A smile. And a swing of my legs of the bed. A new day needs 2 coffees, 1 normal tea, one rooibos tea and 4 rusks. And make it snappy mom. In my princess cup comes the yell.

Yes I'm well and whipped. But this is our routine. And I love it.

October on repeat in Blue.

I think I've repeated this a few times on all social media and to the people who happen to speak to me. But I've been stuck on the band Blue October this month (among others). Yes, I match my music to the month of the year. I'm organised like that.

I know the whole context of some of their songs are not entirely connected to my situation. But I just love some of their lyrics.

I've said it before (I'm on a repeat cycle music and words wise it seems). But I need the few people in my life who still act like my divorce, being alone with three kids etc etc is a reason to worry and pity me. That makes me want to stomp my foot and ask if I give anyone any reason for all this "worry".I should point out that these people are people who do not really feature in my life. But I still hate it that people even feel that they should say that.

So back to the band. Their lyrics in "The Worry List". After the break..

The art part of life..

Last week I went to a art auction for charity. I loved the whole concept. The feel of the evening.

Everyone could donate art - in any form. Pictures you printed, something you drew, old art, new art. All the art was then displayed. You could browse while Dans Dans Lisa played some nice tunes. On the side of the room there was a bucket filled with beer and ciders, free (but if you could just donate anything).

Everything went for R100. And at 20:00 they said "GO" and you had to run to be the first at the work you wanted to buy. If more than one person wanted the same thing, people then had to barter and or fight. Or pay more. Fun night out with just a touch of art.

The crowd was wonderfully young and hipster, with the oddest couples that just made sense in the picture. Wish I took photos of them all..

Music saves the day..

Music saves most days and moods.

It really does feel like some songs were custom written just for me. And I know most people feel like this. That’s what I love about music.

I do not claim to be a music expert. I am also not one of those people who are uppity about their music selection. So don’t even dare lift an eyebrow at anything I say music wise. I am old enough to know what I like. I do not defend my choices. Because they are mine. Plus I have no need to fit in with someone else’s idea of cool. So without further ado. Music on repeat this week:
