A spectacular sunset at Sea Point followed by dinner at a steak restaurant. I was full after my Quesadilla lunch at mum and Mike so just had a vegetable stack. It was absolutely delicious.

Meeting up with Julian and Juliet in Durbanville
It was wonderful to see Julian and Juliet after so many years. We drove out to there beautiful home in Durbanville with its enormous garden. We got to see Antonio and Alessandro who are all grown up. Then Julian joined Antony, Jo and I on a visit to two local wine farms for a wine tasting and a delicious cheese platter.

Testing out our Afrikaburn Thai red curry on the family
Jo, Matt and Antony agreed to be willing guinea pigs for our Thai red curry we are planning to cook at Afrikaburn for our group. We had fun cooking and then played a fun game with the family that involved throwing a stick at sticks. I absolutely sucked at it at first but then staged a comeback for the ages to reign triumphant at the end! Finally, we tucked into the curry and everyone agreed it was a great success. And surprisingly easy, a great dish to add to my repertoire.
The cooks hard at work!
Then a fun game with the family

Sam's 25th birthday
I can't believe my wonderful niece who I rushed home from the Otter Trail to see as a newborn baby in 2000 has just turned 25! It feels like yesterday. Where does the time go?
