Cats came out to play





I had yet another beautiful weekend! It was well balanced with spending time with different circles of friends and a good amount of time with family. On Saturday morning I went to one of my fave Saturday morning spots "The Biscuit Mill" where I was very good this time and only had the fruit salad,a coffee and a strawberry mule.I think mum gave the Biscuit Mill good business as in the last 15 minutes there mum managed to fill up her green P&P carrier bag with enough to go for a picnic somewhere. It was so good to see mum relaxing and enjoying herself pottering around the stalls and sampling goodies. That evening we went to the long awaited performance of "Cats". Whenever I hear of this production I think of a girl by the name of Simone back in drama class in school who had watched this production in London and didn't stop going on about it and since then I have always wanted to watch it. Aside from the excitement that I was at long last going to watch Cats I was so thrilled as this was also Yasmins' 21st birthday suprise. Poor girl has been waiting patiently since October for this suprise and it sure was worth the wait. I went to Tinka Tonka toys(my fave toy and dress up shop in Gardens) and got some cat costume stuff and I got her a pink cupcake from the BM for her in-flight meal. Yas was clueless as to where we were going. I dressed her up in the car and she was not allowed to look at herself in the mirrors. It was great fun and even when we got to the Artscape she had no clue of what show we could be watching.Yas was such a sport and wore her cat ears and bow tie into the show. Cats was entertaining however to be honest I created too much of a hype in my mind and I expected more of a lively show. The stage set was great-the dancing was great-interaction with the crowd was amazing and all in all as I say entertaining.
On Sunday night Dills and I got to have mum accompany us on our Sunday night date to the movies.We watched "The visitor" and ate of course at Anat as we do on a Sunday night. I was naughty and indulged in a few indulged in a few fries. HEEHEE I have reviewed the movie on my other blog.
Lastly I must tell you that I have my first underwater watch!!!! Dills brought it for me as a Xmas pressie. I am so thrilled with it as of course you know I am training for the Midmar Mile in Feb 2010 and I am doing two events. I am aiming to shave off 3-4 minutes off my last time. I know I can do it!!!!! I am giving my watch a test run tonight-woohoo!!!!! Guess what colour is it????Wait for it.......PINK!!!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine my excitement. YES I AM ADDICTED TO PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
