This was one of those weeks that flew by so quickly. After being on leave, our first day back was Monday and the days have just whizzed by!
Yesterday we went to get our eyes tested after work. I’m looking forward to my new spectacles and trying out new contact lenses. I sat on my glasses earlier this week so they aren’t sitting all that well and I had such a headache! We were due for an eye test anyway so it was well timed.
My Mother-in-law turned 80 yesterday so we went to visit after seeing the Optometrist and we are going to celebrate with her on Monday.
My gratitude list today includes the following:
- Mark’s 2019 calendar. I mentioned this a while ago that hubby was putting together a calendar with photos he’d taken of waterfalls and streams in the Western Cape. Well it looks awesome and I’m not just saying that as a proud wife but also as someone who appreciates the beauty of nature. Here is a sneak peek if you’d like to have a look http://markbooysen.com/2019-calendar-waterfalls-streams-of-western-cape/
- Cooler weather this week. We even had rain on Monday which was very much appreciated. Last weekend was such a hot one it felt like summer was in full force so this week has been a pleasant surprise.
- Date night on Tuesday.
- Smarties. Had a box for dessert last night.
- Gellish manicure that I had last week in Sun City still looking great over a week later. I love when my nails are painted – it just brightens up my outfit instantly 🙂
We are going for an adventure up the West Coast tomorrow and I’m looking forward to that. What about you? What are you doing this weekend?

Yay for new lenses! I had Lasik a number of years ago now, but before I did I remember how a fresh pair of glasses or contacts always made such a huge difference for sight! I hope you have a fun weekend of adventure! And happy birthday to your mother-in-law too!

I really need to get my eyes checked and get new glasses; it’s been years now! I just haven’t had the money; my insurance doesn’t help with eyes. I’m in a wedding in two months though so I’m hoping to get in there before then!
I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

We were overdue for getting eye tests and I was amazed how different the reading was with one of my eyes. Hope you can get an appointment soon and get your new glasses before the wedding.

Those calendar photos are beautiful! He’s very talented. I also love painted nails, but I’m so hard on my hands than no manicure stays nice on me for long. I’ve never tried gel before. Maybe I’ll give that a try! 🙂
