we had SNOW much fun

6th July 2018

From a drought to 2 years of rain in one season and the most snow we’ve had in 10 years… It’s been a pretty good winter cause you know how much I love puddle jumping. But back to the snow…

Tuesday morning I woke up early for some reason and checked my phone for the time, a minute earlier my mama had messaged me (not why I woke up as my phone is always on silent) asking if we want to join her on a road trip out to Matroosberg to see the snow. I was in two minds about it cause I have a lot of work to catch up on that I had delayed a little due to exams. But then The Person convinced me that we should go, snow isn’t something that happens every day in SA. So we showered, prepped our work (he had to run scripts and I had to have paint set on a re-paint) while mama packed a picnic, within 2 hours we were all on the road and headed out to the mountains.

 

 

Unfortunately it seemed that most of Cape Town had the same idea so when we got to the pass just before Ceres we sat in crawling traffic. And yet when we got past Ceres it was empty, rather weird.

Most people seemed to stop almost right where the snow had started but it was too people-y for me so I asked that we head up higher and offered to pay for entry into the reserve just so we could have a quieter spot. Turns out that we didn’t even have to go that far, and stopped just before klondyke cherry farm and we still had snow that was knee deep!

 

 

Snowball fights, snow angels, latte’s under a tree that upends snow on you, snow-women, and trying to pee in the snow without freezing your sensitive bits.

 

 

We had so much fun, Fysh would have liked to take a friend with but it was so last minute. Maybe next time :)

 

 

Oh, and I made a video!

  • M and I don't really do valentines day, for me it doesn't make sense plus our anniversary is a week away so no point really anyway.

But for Fysh it's a thing, I think cause when he was in school they made a big deal out of it.

So, for him, we made pizzas, played sprinkler tag in the garden, battled bosses in monopoly gamer and then watched Matilda :) PSA if you dislike monopoly as much as I do but your kid insists, get them this monopoly edition. It's more fun and the game is shorter!!!
  • It's been an extremely trying 3 months for us. Work has been non existent slow which means financially we've been stressed which in turn makes me so anxious I get physically ill.

But on the upside my garden is looking amazing, my veggies are growing and my sunflowers are blooming 🌻
  • Some of the goodies I made last week that I sanded and prepped for the kiln today.

Had to repack the studio today so didn't really get time to make anything other than a few buttons (going to use them for packaging goods)
  • These landed on my desk today while I was studying (yes I study with stuff playing in the background)

For once I'm happy about loadshedding cause I now have a valid excuse to clip my little reading light on and have 2.5 hours of reading quiet :P (I had to wrestle Fysh just to get The Magical Unicorn Society for 2 seconds to photograph it!) There are SO many good thrillers dropping this year BTW...
  • This has become our Sunday morning tradition. We head down and sit and chat about the week and what we learned over a massive waffle.

Today we tried the fudge one cause we weren't in the mood for frozen jellybeans.

I might not be able to give the kid much but I I still try. And in the end it's the small things you remember when you're an adult anyway right?

  • Mom, please take a photo? (train only runs 5 times on a Sunday and we can see for a good km or 2 before they arrive so it was safe to pose)
