1. Dion and I celebrated our 19-year wedding anniversary last week and, as we’ve done for many, many years (except last year), we went away with the kids for a few days to an exceptionally beautiful part of the country, the Drakensberg.
(we’d never been before!)
I took this photo inside of the resort grounds
2. I learnt some interesting things about myself while on holiday, namely my complete reliance on wifi and how not having internet is actually quite freeing. This is a subject for a complete blog post!
3. In other news, I also resigned from my full-time job and Wednesday was my last official day. I will write more in my next newsletter which comes out on Wednesday as I left without having another job lined up. If you’re not signed up yet and you’re interested in my thought process and the financials behind it all, please sign up here. Thanks 🙂
4. We’ll be voting on Wednesday which is always an experience in itself. Last time they allowed us to “express vote” due to having twins who were 1 – 2 years old; this time, I’m afraid there’ll be no such conveniences. We’re still debating whether to go one at a time or whether to drag the kids along with us. If you’re South African, when do you plan to vote?
5. And last but not least, this is exactly what life is like, isn’t it? You spot a pretty location, position yourself and kids and this type of photo is what happens 🙂
It made me laugh; hope it makes you laugh this morning too!
Happy May!
A photo to make you laugh – please note the one 4-year-old on the left………… #thisisfour
PS I’m opening comments on this post.
Woot! I love an open comment box! We usually vote around mid-morning or so and we always take our kids along – there’s rarely a queue so it’s all good. I am more a beach kind of girl but I have heard BEAUTIFUL reviews about the Drakensberg so I guess I’m going to have to put it on our “to visit” list. Had a bit of a giggle at the last pic!
I know! I thought you’d like it.
The Drakensberg really is exceptionally gorgeous. Crisp air but still warm during the day this time of year.
Woo hoo! Open comments! Good luck on your next career endeavors! I’m not sure how busy or if there are long lines for voting, but we take our kids. We live out in the country, so our lines are short or non-existent.
Your son’s expression, haha!
Congratulations on 19 years for you and Dion! Love is lovely <3
And amen to the internet-withdrawal! I am thinking of doing a technology detox – I am always glued to my phone, tablet or PC!
