I can't find my camera. Anywhere. I sincerely feel like I've lost a limb. However, now that I need to get a new one: I am starting to think of going a tiny bit more professional. I thought about it for about five minutes then realized that I could never spend that sorts of monies on that sorts of thing. I don't really know what to do, but I'll figure it out. Eventually.
We did all sorts of awesome things this weekend. On Friday Graeme and I took the day off work and both went to separate locations for FULL body massages as we both received vouchers. His was clearly amazing. He had this Thai thing with all this tea and a strong Russian chick that pulled and cracked and pushed and snapped and just... I had a really well, pleasant experience that felt more like a back-rub than anything else. I really wanted her to hurt me, you know? Get those knots out, fix me. I was all "I've carried two babies etc and never really had a massage" and she looked all excited to sort my back out, then spent an hour rubbing oil on it. "This black pepper aromatherapy will take the pain away." Whatever. Freakin hippies. I left feeling sad and greasy. I will go to Graeme's place next time. His work gave him the voucher just as a bit of a thank you for the long hours and deadline stress. They're really cool like that. The afternoon was spent sipping cocktails in Sea Point, which was nice.
For the rest of the weekend we spent time at the beach, park, train, promenade and did a lot of 'house things'. We cooked a lot, which we both love doing... We have a bit of a competitive thing going on. I think he is winning. We had the fireplace going every evening, which was too nice. Our neighbors got the most beautiful dog, which I'll talk about soon. It was really good to see friends this weekend -especially the Claire, over a pot of tea.
We moved the television out of the lounge a while ago, which has brought such good energy in to our living room. I love it so much. I feel like everyone is in a really good space right now, and that something has shifted. As the boys are getting older, that stressful 'running after two busy toddlers' phase is ending, and they're spending so much more time with each other, and doing 'brother' things. It's nice to see them build a relationship and make each other laugh. (It's also really nice to sit on the couch with a book / iPad / cup of tea). How beautiful is my family? Can't get enough.
