Novembers bug alert

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

After good long run over the last couple of months Jono picked up another bug. Flem on his chest and a blocked nose but certainly not a heavy flu. He ran a very high temperature (39.1c) on day #1 which we dosed regularly with Panado syrup. He also complained of stomach cramps and so that got doused with Chloropect (sp) even though there there was no upset tummy. He appeared to be to be better in the morning but was still off his food so we kept him off school.

He ran a tempeature again at night and this stop start thing carried on for a few days. It took us a full week to get back to normal  and touch wood besides a slight cough which we drenched in syrup, David appears to have weathered it.

Enrico’s Keurbooms

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

We also like to drive out to Keurbooms regulary and visit the Heath along the way. Although we started with the drive and then a pizza lunch at Enrico’s. It was a lovely day, the parking lot at Keurbooms was full and despite the fact it is not cheap we do keep coming back. After lunch we stopped at the Heath on the way back to Knysna and bought this and that at the shop that stocks interesting things. The kids ran wild and I walked the labyrinth for the first time. There is a nice feel to the place and whilst they are maybe stretching it a bit when they claim that they have the best coffee on the N2, I never knew that there was difference between a maze and a labyrinth, so why worry?

Morgan’s Bay

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

We watched the rugby at the Morgan’s Bay hotel where Jono made friends with another youngster who lives in Maseru. Soon after the game started Jason came through to the dinning room where we were finishing off supper and proclaimed that it no fun as the English were already 6-3 down. I wonder if Jono even knew what all the fuss was about but he did know something was going on and he still talks about Jason asking if we are going back again. He very much wanted to take him to a coffee shop which had a tree house which we had stopped at. Yellow wood Park is the sort of place that’s open all the time except when its closed and where we had the choice of waffles. There is also an art shop where we bought the most practical sand pit toy one could ever hope to find in an art shop. It consists of a seat two control leavers and a very practical looking scoop. No plastic and besides keeping the boys busy for hours, it looks virtually indestructible. Weather prevented us from taking Jason but that was just an adults excuse and I will know better next time.
