Can you see ... there's no sparkle or Christmas cheer on my face :-(.  I'm dealing with the remnants of what feels like it was a 24 hour flu and now have terrible lower back ache which I think is caused from vegitating on the couch for about 8 hours.  Me not a happy smiley camper but I'm at work all the same as its the last few days before I go on leave for a whole three weeks from Friday.

Graeme painted Jarod's bedroom this weekend.  One wall is painted in black chalkboard paint and the others are in grey.  He was super happy when he saw it on Sunday.

The little people have now gone off on holiday with their dad to Nelspruit.  Its just us two ol' souls and the crazy animals at home.

Hope your weekend was super awesome ... although its Tuesday, with yesterday being a holiday it feels like a Monday but the traffic was a dream as many people started their leave this week.

Let me get things done ...enjoy your day and its a week of shopping left to Christmas.

I decided to try something a little different with stripes on stripes ... my mother will probably shake her head and tsk tsk as I know that mixing patterns like this is a no-go in her fashion rules.  I at first was going to wear my denim shirt over and tie it in front, but it looked too 'Friday' for a Thursday.

I was rather undecided about my shoes as well ... denim wedges - nope didn't look right, taupe wedges, nope ... so I ended up with the black pumps, they just seemed more businesslike and if you knew how demotivated and dog tired I am, you'd understand that wearing anything too laid back could be detrimental to my performance ... lol.

I had a serious panic this morning when I got to the office!  I had completed all the documentation for Courteneys Immigrant Visa Application, taken the photos and got the Police Clearance Certificate.  I scanned the documents in and sent them to their Dad ... who thankfully noticed that I had not gotten the little lady to sign the application.  I called the Post Office who still had the letter on site and Courts and Schatz were in the center as they were heading to gym ... so the lady kindly allowed her to open the envelope, sign the document and it is now being sent.  My poor head is throbbing as I get really tense when I screw up like this.  I am way overdue for a break!

Here's hoping your day is simply fabulous ... thanks for coming by and do say Hi. 

Black 'n white stripes and another hit of coral

Its been getting decidedly colder and darker here, making outdoor photos a bit of a mission. So my last two instalments were both taken indoors. I guess its time to sort out my indoor studio once again for the cold nights. But winter has been slow in arriving here in Jo'burg this year. Today it is really cold and despite sitting with my warm winter gown on, the gas heater 2 metres away, my fingers are f.f.f.freezing.
