My last post was of Hayley's kitchen tea..well since then she has had her wedding on the 23rd of April and it was absolutely beautiful. We also had Alexis and Ryans wedding here in Hillcrest..was also lovely and nice to see our Jhb friends again. And then sadly holidays came to an end and I started work in Durban at etv News in May. It was a bit daunting at first, so many new things to learn and a whole different type of editing..deadlines and pressure which I was not used to, so the first month was rather tough but gradually thing are getting better as I get more familiar with the routine and equipment here. The hours also take a bit of getting used to..as I only start at 11am and finish around 8pm, so it throws a bit of a spanner in the works with making dinner and just life in general.
As for my hubby..the roles have definitely reversed! - much to his delight :o) he gets to work from home now, still for his Jhb base company BalmOral. But because almost everything is run online it works fine for him to be based here and still get the job done. He also pops up to Jhb for meetings and occasionally to Kabul when needed.
We are currently living in a tiny little flat in Waterfall, with most of our stuff still in storage which is a bit of a strain..but just trying to cope while we sort out things with the house and business.... We are buying a boxing business (with Dane's parents) which is on a 5 acre plot in Crestholme. There is a house on the premises which is not our dream home (to say the least) but because the business is there it is mostly just convenient for us to live there so that Dane is able to manage the new boxing business and still work for BalmOral without having to run between the two. So as it stands we are waiting for the subdivision on the property to go through before we can buy but at the end of this month we will move into the cottage on the property until the sale goes through. Dane has already started learning how boxes are made and all the in's and out's of it all, so being on site next month will make it a lot easier for him but no so much for me... as already working in Durbs is a half hour drive for me and Crestholme is another 7kms away..GRrrrr!
Other news in the fam...Kayley is in her thrid trimester already!! and still looking as gorgeous as ever...with her little boy on board :o) I get to go to a scan later this month.
My sis, just went overseas on a Conticki tour (for her company) to France, Germany and Switzerland !! Awesome experience for her, and she had lots of fun..brought me back some lovely swaroffski crystal earings, a compact mirror from moulin rouge and some yummy swiss chocies - yum! :o)
It's my Grandpa's 80th Birthday this month!! and My mom is off to Zanzibar next month.
Will try and be more diligent about blogging...just gona take me a bit longer as I have less time on my hands these days not working from home any more. Anyhoo, thats all for now..looking forward to a relaxing weekend :o)
P.S. Please don't hold my spelling against me ;o)
