On our way!

We've been home in South Africa since Saturday and as usual it's been "all systems go!" Grant had his eye check-up on Tuesday, I had a few routine examinations. On Wednesday I had to renew my South African driver's license which is always a great challenge, because of the system and staff attitudes at the official offices. However, I had all my information ready (certified copy of my SA ID, now-expired driver's license card, an official form completed and the exact amount of money) so it all went very smoothly. Within twenty minutes I had paid, arranged for a proxy to collect my new license card when it arrived and left the premises. Whoo-hoo! (Unless you've had the experience of applying for or renewing any personal documents anywhere in Africa - even South Africa - you won't know the jaw-grinding frustration and eye-rolling exasperation a person experiences. So my pleasant experience yesterday was a welcome relief!) 

Grant and I are off on a bike trip to the Southern Cape. As this post is aired, we'll be mounting our trusty machine and set off on our journey.  Last night after we'd taken the three dogs for a long walk on the golf course, he prepared the bike and I walked around taking photos of our house, garden and pets.

I wish you all a wonderful day today,  a pleasant weekend tomorrow, and safe and healthy week ahead. Till we meet again here on Blogger, bless you all!
