I was told I had to do some weeding in the garden. Being the obedient type (*erhum*), I did as asked – bought some gardening tools (turns out I didn’t need to buy the tools, W bought some for me) and set about tackling the front garden. My word but you only realise how many weeds you have in your garden when you get down on your hands and knees and really look. Ugly, mean looking things. They also have this sneaky way of moving around the garden when you’re not looking. Just when you think you have them all, another 3 pop up smirking at you in a snide flat green way, almost daring you to turn your back, so that they can call their friends. Without making myself sound completely useless, I have to mention that, much like cooking, gardening and I aren’t the best of friends. In fact I’ve never gardened. I blame my folks, they evidently raised me extremely badly.
So this foray into the gardening world was a first for me. I’m most chuffed with my results.
The overgrown flower bed…
Once I’d cleared it. (Took loads of yanking, pulling, swearing, muttering, sweating and dirt under the fingernails.. *shudder*)
That was my weekend work, Wouter on the other hand was doing the *real* work. Our kitchen really is starting to look like a kitchen, awesome :-)
Must just show you some photos I took on Friday, I was involved in an outreach programme at work, celebrating National Women’s Day – amongst other things I created the posters for the event, helped organise various parts of it, and was designated official photographer. We tend to be jack of all trades where I work. We held the event in the Company Gardens, and the weather was superb.
If you look really closely you can see the cable car starting up the mountain (you have to look *really* closely).
hehehehe
A baby Egyptian gosling….
 And my all time favourite shot…..
Isn’t he cute?
