Today...

... I should stay out of Internet shopping sites. Might just bankrupt myself.
... Sigh of relief. Was up the whole night worrying about the insurance cover on my flat. Building is covered.
... help! Need gift ideas for a baby shower! The lady only wants eco-friendly products...
... GO STORMERS.
... I saw this breakfast nook on the Internet. WANT!!

Have a good weekend. xxx

Love at first sight.

On Sunday, the farmer and I drove to Riversdale. I wandered around the Bali Trading shop and stumbled upon these! Cute hey? And perfect for the farm. (Yeah, keep on telling that to yourself...)

Wellington ankle booties

Sorry about the lack of posts and comments on blogs, but I have a Bloggers block at the moment!

Today...

123 Front porch.

About a month ago, there was nothing in front of the house. Except for a small concrete stoep and dying grass. The farmer came up with a brilliant idea and this is how it unfolded:

Nothing but dogs.



First day.



Ons vorder.

Rubble and dust. And some more dust.

And some bricks.

Bricks are done. Poles added.



Vines to be planted. Are we almost done yet? Note rusted bird next to dog kennel.



These birds were almost thrown on the rubbish heap. (My creation)

And some mosaic to cover the part between the porch and the tiles.

This was an old, rusted soap pot. Added some paint, lavender and flowers.

Got the lamps I told you about.

Fabulous sleeper find on Gumtree.

And voila!

Now the vines just need to grow and rank like crazy!

Have a good week all. xxx

Tra-la Hunter!

Oh my gosh! Finally got myself a pair after HEAVY consideration and thanks to Standard Bank for allowing me to buy on credit. Just love it!

And even though the farmer tried to burst my bubble with the following: "Pity no one in this town will even know what Hunter Boots are...", I do not give a damn. Just because I live in the middle of nowhere DOES NOT mean I can't go with the flow and be fashionable once in a while. Right?

Project braai

One of the things I love about the farmer, is that he can never just sit and relax. There is always a "project" under hand. The latest project is called "Project Indoor Braai". And this one is my fault. While sitting at the hairdresser last week, I saw the below picture, and in turn showed it to the farmer...

And R10 if you can guess what's happening at the moment!

Project Veranda is finished, and I am just waiting for the last "finishing touches", then I'll show you what he did in front of the house.

Have a good weekend!

Today...

... I miss my parents. Wish I could climb in the car and pop in for coffee. Happy 37th anniversary. Love you to bits.
... I have a new "patient". Katryn is on heat again and last night Vegter almost but Skollie to Sweden and back. Poor guy.
... my bike is finally in my name. I almost spent half the day between the test station and the traffic department, but worth it. That baby is mine.
... is perfect stay in bed weather. These mid-week holidays just make me lazy.
... the Blackberry is SO going to be replaced at the end of my contract.

Hope you have a good weekend!

P.S. Meet Daisy. One of Bella's pups the farmer has decided to keep:
