Big news...

.... it has been raining in Swakop.  Ok, I exaggerate, it has been drizzling but there were puddles.  It has been awesome having a rain-less winter, makes the cold days so much more bearable.

Anyhoo, Steve had the whole weekend off and after Rosey's 1st Birthday fun on Saturday we hit the road again and did some sight-seeing, taking a drive down the Swakopmund River through the "moonscape".  I was a little underwhelmed.... if any of you have been to Cappadocia in Turkey, now that's a moonscape!  However it was a pretty cool outing with a bit of 4WD-ing through the sand, a meerkat sighting and the discovery of a real oasis, complete with restaurant, multiple cheesecake choices and kid's playground which was lucky as we had tricked Ace into the car by saying we were go to search for another playground!

Otherwise we are cruising along, I watched zero Olympics as it coincided with us finishing up The Wire and frankly I ain't into it. I worry every day about using up the last of the Vegemite, number one packing fail, should have packed multiple jars of the black gold! I went to the movies last week with Noni and saw the WORST film, so bad it was amusing. Ace finished up swimming lessons for the term and school holidays start next week.  As usual in the film industry we have no bloody idea when we leave Swakop, if we go to Cape Town and when we will be home.... ho hum.

Lastly, Happy 1st Birthday Lucian... may you grow up to be as clever and classy as your mumma and as unreal as your "husband of the year" daddy!
