We’re a little low on pics this week alas, as not only was Husband working the weekend shift but I was also glued to my laptop downloading images and compiling tables for the Cannes Lions. I still had a few delicious moments though…
Thursday, 22 June 2017: Bertie beach walk
Saturday, 24 June 2017: Sunrise snaps and Italian treats
Sunday, 25 June 2017: Post-Cannes relaxing
Wednesday, 28 June 2017: Office doughnuts
Husband’s on night shift again next week so I took today off work so that we can at least spend a weeny bit of time together, hope you have a relaxing weekend!
What a busy week it’s been! In addition to Cannes Lions’ week of advertising awards kicking off with a bang, it was Father’s Day last weekend, Husband’s turn to be Marvin again and last Friday was a public holiday so that meant doing five days of work in four – make that 3.25, as Thursday was also our office teambuilding day, which we spent swinging through the trees of Constantia. I’ll explain in pictures, so you can see exactly what I mean…
Thursday, 15 June 2017: Teambuilding at Acrobranch Constantia and Eagle’s Nest Wines
Friday, 16 June 2017: Youth Day French toast and Saint’s Winter menu
Saturday, 17 June 2017: Petiscos family brunch and Cannes Lions 2017 begins
Sunday, 18 June 2017: Father’s Day breakfast at Stacked Diner, high tea at Mum’s
Work week coffee treats during all hours of Cannes Lions work
That’s all, folks! Cannes Lions comes to an end on Saturday evening and Husband is working all of this coming weekend, so wish us luck!
The simple answer? Stay at Abalone House and dine at Reuben’s, of course. That’s just what we did last weekend…
Saturday, 10 June 2017: A night at Paternoster’s Abalone House, with dinner at Reuben’s
Sunday, 11 June 2017: Breakfast at Reuben’s, sightseeing at Saldanha Bay
That’s all, folks! One of the most beautiful places we’ve reviewed, we’re sure to return and hope you’ll venture out that way, too – you won’t be disappointed.
*Disclaimer: Obviously our meals at Reuben’s and accommodation at Abalone House were part of our review package. All else came from our own pockets. All enjoyed equally.
Last weekend was all about the Good Food and Wine Show held at the CTICC, but first, I attended the Integrated Marketing Communication or IMC Conference on my first day back at work after our Citrusdal break…
Thursday, 1 June 2017: IMC at White Space, Salt River
Saturday, 3 June 2017: Good Food & Wine Show at the CTICC
Sunday, 4 June 2017: Captain’s Kitchen pizza and Wonder Woman at GrandWest Casino
Monday, 5 to Thursday, 8 May 2017: Mid-week office sunsets, storm-scared doggies and birthday cupcakes
That’s all, folks! We’re set for a few more splashes of rain this weekend, so stay warm and dry, and lend a helping hand to help others in need, if you can – donating beds space at Haven Night Shelter from just R60 per person per bed for five nights is an excellent idea.
We were on leave for the start of this week, doing a bit of a digital detox in the peaceful mountain town of Citrusdal. It went by in a flash and seems like a dream now when I think back to it so luckily we took photos as proof – highly recommended, especially if you’re slightly under the weather! But first…
Saturday, 27 May 2017: TTKXLangaProject lunch
Sunday, 28 May 2017: Stacked Diner breakfast
Monday, 29 May 2017: Digital detox at Wolfkop
Tuesday, 30 May 2017: The Lovely Grapevine breakfast, afternoon at The Baths
Wednesday, 31 May 2017: Hebron breakfast and Citrusdal souvenirs
That’s all, folks! We’re both back at work and seeing off the tail-end of an annoying cold. Hope you have a relaxing weekend ahead – hold thumbs that the ‘massive storm’ set to bring lots of rain to the Cape this coming week actually arrives!
