The Weekend that was 30 Aug - 1 Sep

Happy Spring to all those in the Southern Hemisphere! I know I am sure glad to see the back of winter although, as some have said "we haven't really had a winter". Hello??! Did you not feel how cold it was those nights in July? Pfft. Crazy people.

The weekend got off to a good start when GWM Fourways kindly returned Black Betty to me in working order. Friday evening was ladies night out at Movida. So, Colleen, Candice, Carey-Anne and myself got all dolled up and off we went. There were a whole lot of exhibitors including hair stylists, lingerie boutiques, false eyelashes, a gym, and a confectionery stand amongst others. Ladies watched demos of products, and were even treated to a live show by a hip hop dance troupe. There were also loads of prizes and each of us won something with the exception of Carey-Anne, which is quite unfair seeing as though she extended the invite to all of us. Here are some pics from the evening.

Saturday was quiet, what with William going to the local casualty unit to have a football injury he incurred on Tuesday checked out. The doctor ordered x-rays of his knee but thankfully nothing was broken or dislocated, but rather the ligaments were damaged and there was fluid on the kneecap. He was treated with anti-inflammatories and sent home with a knee brace.

Sunday was Spring Day, and our local community forum Atlasville Organisation organised a walk around the suburb. With a turnout of approximately 50 adults, childrens and even babies in prams, we walked the 5km route and enjoyed the lovely weather. It had been rather chilly on Friday night and Saturday so we were stressing about Sunday's weather, but for once Murphy stayed away.




After the walk, we went for a late lunch at Tashas Bedfordview with Linsey and her mom Karen. It was my our first time dining there and we loved it. The menu caters to all tastes and appetites, and the cakes were far too good to pass up. Linsey and I shared a slice of the bar one cheesecake - absolutely delicious! 



So how was your weekend? What did you get up to?
