Well this might have been the week that all the things we have been dying to do fell into place and we completely did them… we hiked almost daily and the weather has been hot hot hot… so it has literally been hike, recover, hike, recover, and repeat over here… that is all good for life, but not fabulous for blogging. What can I say the new gym routine for me is working on getting enough sleep and because of that blogging has taken a little rest while I figure out how to schedule it all in… Meanwhile, how beautiful is Table Mountain… and how very lucky we are to have this at the heart of our city.

Our Book Book Giving Day Project is in full Swing… if you have signed up to join us, I am battling to communicate with the school. This is the reason they very much need a library, internet is flakey, phones don’t always work… and I am getting the details to you as fast as I can. So join in, join in… we are trying to build a library for over a thousand kids… we need books and lots of them. It is totally doable, book by book we can build a library. Don’t forget SuperNova Magazine has an absolutely fabulous offer for our followers, they will match any subscription and donate your order to the library when you stop and shop there. If you don’t know how cool they are then check out their sight. Really if your kids don’t know SuperNova magazine then you need to introduce them to it… for all sorts of cool fun, opinion, factual, fabulous reasons.

Otherwise, if you have teens desperate for their Learner’s License… then we have a brilliant app for that and it is a GiveAway…
