Weekend 21 July 2013

When South Africans [men] get together to watch a rugby match between their favorite team and an overseas team, they do so in style. As the match on Sunday was between the Brumbies (Oz) and the Free State Cheetahs (South African) it took place at 8.30am, East African time. No problem to the guys: they asked me to organize sausage, bacon, eggs and bread rolls. The meat would be braaid/BBQ'd at Andre and Amanda's house while the match was on the go.  

Wessel grilled the meat and eggs

 While the rest watched the game

Grant leans across to see the next exciting move! 

As you know, Ambrose let the cat out of the bag, (pun intended!) in yesterday's post, about the project we ladies have under way for the School for the Blind in Shinyanga. Apart from hundreds of toys and various other items we're handing out to them on Wednesday, we're also giving them a small party with cupcakes, butter cookies, sweets, sodas and popcorn. 

While the men watched the game, Amanda and I continued to fill the bags with bangles and small toys, and Rina and Louise were next door baking up a storm of 260 cupcakes. (Louise had already baked the 260 butter cookies during the week)

WIP. Above is one of the many of bangles I made (Last week Nsia, Amanda and I made the lion's share - this one was one of the last eight we needed) 

Here's wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.
