A few minutes is all that is needed

For Valentine's the Joburg Ballet were giving a short dance routine from Swan Lake at Hyde Park. It was so beautiful. Watched it from the floor above and it gave a lovely angle for my photos. Just used my cellphone, they had professional photographers running around taking the wow shots. Just a few minutes of the music and movement was therapy for the soul.

Valentine surprise parcel

It means so long ago already.

I made up a Valentine's parcel for my nieces. Why for my nieces, you ask. Well, they said they have never had a parcel delivered by courier to their home. And because I love them, it is the day of love, after all. They're still young enough to not be hoping for a valentine from some boy, in fact my one niece said she was too young for boys and she only likes dogs.

I cut the main message from the WW broadsheet.

February catch-up

It's March and I haven't even blogged February. So, just a short summary, because really, it's already all in the past. Liam and I baked cookies for Valentine's Day and distributed them to everyone in the office. Then there was the one special Valentine delivery ;-) Went into Newtown to see the development around the Market Theatre - Newtown Junction. I bought a few things at the Work Shop and and lunch at the PotatoShed. We visited the Gwefey Tea House in Sandton City. I baked a cheese cake and topped it with stewed peaches, that Lettie provided. It was delicious, had it for breakfast for a week. Come play with me! BJ could play all day. These worms ate up the entire plant, argh! Went to see Singing in the Rain - wonderful. A bunch of flowers to celebrate payday. Thank you.

And so ends February.
