T’was the Freedom Day long weekend in SA last weekend, so we had time to fit in lots of fun moments.

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!

I am in quite a jolly mood today as I took a day’s leave, so instead of constantly checking emails, loading articles, drinking gallons of coffee and editing others’ writing I have been taking naps, (still drank gallons of coffee) and letting my brain reset itself after the madness of the last few weeks.
