The public holidays...

...they pass too fast. Oh wonderful Youth Day. We awaited your arrival for so many long hard work days and now that you were here and with us we feel you slipping away. Please won't you stay a little longer?

My youth day was actually not primarily spent on Youth - We went to spend the morning with my fathers Mother. (We called her Granny Far Away when were little because she lived in Parys with my late grandfather). MrT and I arrived early to show off our "We are engaged" glow before my sister and baby nephew arrived and stole all the attention. (I have long since made peace with this fact of life: Cute Babies are more interesting than just about anything else.)

After, MrT and I went grocery shopping and browsing the shops. Thrilling stuff really - but when you have that magic ring on your finger, everything you do together is a novelty.

Then, like old people, we hurried home for an afternoon nap.

We had to source some supplies for dinner (left over boerewors goes well with fresh rolls) and MrT decided to let me drive his car. My suspicions are that he wants a new bigger car sooner or later and wants me to take over his car and sell mine. He had a HUGE smile on after the ride - I think he wants a Fiance of the Year award for letting his woman sit in the drivers seat of his semi-new vehicle. I am sticking with precociousness and acting like it was nothing. Secret is, it's a pretty darned awesome car to drive. ssshhh...

At the end of this glorious day of non-work, I must be returning home for an early night and teh frosty early morning that follows to be running and not puking.

Huzzah to Youth!
