I’m so full of snot today that I feel it may be a case of home-bathkids-dinner-bed. Thus, noting that blogging is not included in that plan, just before I instigate part one, a quota photo.
It was two years ago to the day that we packed the car and the 10½ month old boy and headed down to Simonstown for the weekend, staying in a house with an implausibly steep driveway and a seemingly infinite number of steps up to the front door.
The weekend was spent (as I remember), poking penguins and playing football on the beach. And drinking:
Yes, it was empty*
The rest of the flickr set is here.
I have just noticed that my plan for the evening also fails to mention any red wine. It would surely be foolish to miss out on the immune-boosting benefits of vitamin C that come as a helpful by-product of fermented grapes. Especially the rather decent (and rather local) Steenberg Merlot.
I shall be sorting that out with dinner, never fear.
* once he’d finished with it, it was, anyway.
Ahhh beach football with the son! Sounds fun.
Yeah it would be a big shame to miss out on the vitamin c via the fermented grapes mate 😉

I love the look of leery satisfaction in his eyes. You have trained him well.
I’m a firm advocate of “start ’em young” – then they won’t go off on a bender when they’re 14/15 (hopefully!!). He looked rather cute then… as he does now! 😀 Enjoy the evening, however you choose to spend it!

Nice shiny pant
You look concerned – is it because he just downed YOUR beer?

OrdinaryLife…. I think he looks concerned because the little one has downed a whole bottle of beer quicker than he can himself 😆

Ad Wiz > I learned from the best – I learned from you.
OL > My worry was that he was going to over extend and fall backwards in order to get that last drop out!
Wiggy > He can knock it back quick.
Black Label certainly does not qualify as beer 😮

The place in the photo looks identical to the place my husband and I stayed when we went to Simon’s Town a few years ago 🙂
