I was glad to hear that granny's eye operation went well! :) We had a lazy morning and hot some soup which we ate at Robyn's. We then went to see Monsters University in 3D which was nice! We had an hours break before heading to Mr and Mrs Smiths for dinner which was just lovely! They are Neil's (Garth's good friend) parents who had helped Garth financially through uni. There house was amazing!!! They fed us amazing food and wine. Their daughter Carey and her h...

I had a lye in after Wendy had gone to work and went to the Rautenbach's just before lunch.

She had never been to Nando's before and I w...

Lol. We then dro...
