Morning readers!
Wow, can you believe we are now in October (or Rocktober or even Ocsober as it is known to some) - the end of the year is fast approaching! Time to start making those Christmas and holiday plans (if you haven't already) and definitely time to start Christmas shopping. There's nothing worse than fighting the hoards of last minute shoppers in the malls come the last week before Christmas!
Back to the present day though. October is going to be a very festive month for us. This coming weekend is Angie's bachelorette party, next weekend is Roger's bachelors and we're ending off the month with their wedding. Absolutely cannot wait!
This past weekend I attended Ryan's Gatsby themed 30th birthday party with Angie at the Skye Bar in Sandton, and let me say that the views from this venue are absolutely breathtaking. The twinkling lights of the surrounding suburbs and skyscrapers lend an almost other-wordly vibe to guests as we stared out over the balcony. Amazing. Guests really went the extra mile in dressing in period appropriate attire, and Jenna (Ryan's wife) outdid herself with the decor and entertainment. There was a photo booth, a Murder Mystery Game and even some gambling. Thank you Jenna & Ryan, we had such fun!
Here are some pictures from the evening:
On Sunday, William and I were invited to a Portuguese braai by Colleen & Fernando. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we soaked up the sun while relaxing around the pool. Fernando may consider himself a top notch chef as the steak was done to perfection, using the traditional method of bay leaf branches as skewers. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and take advantage of summer. Thank you Col & Fernando, you are excellent hosts and we felt so welcome and comfortable in your company.
Unfortunately I didn't take my camera with on Sunday, but am sure Colleen will post some photographs shortly. Keep an eye on my Facebook page:)
Until next time
