This past week has been busier than usual as I’ve been in Durban covering the Loeries Awards for work since Wednesday. But lots happened before then…

Friday,  16 August 2019: Bus station walkies

When I got off the bus from work last Friday, all the male members of the household were there to greet me. Bertie was a very good boy on his walkies.

He stopped to sniff at things and rustle in the shrubbery along the walkway, but didn't bark at anyone or anything - a different doggie to the shouter on car trips!

Saturday, 17 August 2019: Roadtrip to Paarl, to Eat at Perdeberg

We breakfasted at Reload, Flamingo Vlei on Saturday and sampled their 'breakfast bun' special. Husband had a flat white with his, I went for the peppermint-choc latte.

It was perfect weather for sitting outside, so sit outside we did. See the main Perdeberg Cellar building, as well as their grape juice bottles, my strawberry shake and the wines Husband sampled.

Some of the deliciousness of Eat at Perdeberg - see the bobotie springrolls, served samoosa-style with the most delicious homemade chilli, tomato, coriander and ginger jam; the braai boxes for two; their strawberry shake, the chef's trio special of oxtail, venson pie and chicken curry with veg and chips on the side, and Husband's glass of red.

We passed such pretty scenery on our way home from Eat at Perdeberg - field of sunny yellow canola, cows grazing and more.

We called these pics 'calm before the storm' - see the waves crashing on the rocks in the background! Husband also had his customary weekend dip in the sea.

By Saturday evening we were a little peckish again so see the Otomi (chilli con carne, coriander, spiced yoghurt) pizza we shared at Col'cacchio, Seaside Village. Also see the sunset over the sea.

Breakfast is served! This is what we ordered from Cafe Bica in Bayside Mall on Sunday morning. See Hubcaps chorizo-egg croissant, as well as my banana pancakes and one of our flat whites.

Mum was a little under-the-weather on Sunday, so we opted for Burger King takeaways for lupper. See our extra-long chilli cheese burgers and cans of 'coffee Coke'.
