Friday, 17 May 2019: Work-from-home fruit salad and doggie company

Mum let me know she had some fruit salad ready mid-morning last Friday when I was working from home, so I trotted across to her house.

Saturday, 18 May 2019: Roast lamb on the Weber

For our Saturday breakfast, we popped into Bread & Butter. See our flat whites as well as Husband's salmon-chorizo-cream cheese omelette, and my half portion of bacon eggs benedict.

Saturday afternoon feasting at the braai. No doggies pictured but they were right there, I promise.

The end result - roast lamb fresh off the braai, with roast potatoes, green peas and a homemade minty sauce. Yum!

Ha! Bassie looks very cross here. Think she was trying to leap from chair to table to meat and we stopped her in her tracks.

T'was a Carlucci's kind of Sunday morning - I had my go-to breakfast of cinnamon croissant with dirty chai latte, while Husband went for a flat white and the chorizo baked-egg pan.

Odd couds started rolling in later that day, with heavy rain following on Sunday night. That's a cloud covering the base of Table Mountain, as seen from Sunset Beach.

We headed to our local Rocomama's for our Sunday afternoon treat of chilli-cheese fries, a draught for him and a butterscotch-toffee shake for her. Yum!
