Another busy week...

This was supposed to be posted last night but my 3G was giving me grief so sorry another day late....

Another busy week is over and wow so difficult to remember what we have been up to…… okay okay I know I am getting old but I should remember what we have been up to…. Oh yes Heath has been for a couple of interviews. He was offered a position at a small furniture shop down the road when the agency (who happens to be one our friends) suggested to Heath that she is not very happy with the guy as they initially were offering more money than what was finally offered. It seemed like the guy realised very quickly that Heath would be well over qualified and would not be around for too long therefore offered a lot less. During the interview Heath could see many areas of improvement and was actually quite excited to get going to show the guy what he was capable of but then also agreed with the agent that this guy would be stealing his ideas as he is not really paying for them. So he is not a very happy man at the moment but I am sure he will find something soon!

I have been working for my current company for over 5 years and actually very happy but then again I have been very lucky with the various clients I have been working at, as they have all been great fun. Well recently I have had so many phone calls for other positions available in the market. Quite amazing as they find my details from a website that I loaded my info about 6 years ago when we came back from the UK. So not good for Heath as he sees all of these job offers coming in for me and I am not really looking and nothing for him. But, I must say that some of the jobs are getting enticing and I have a couple of options available but will update you shortly on any that get firmed up.

“My babe…..we all still love you stax and stax…….”

As Heath thought he was to start working this Monday he took Reece for one night stay over in Pilansberg. Reece was over the moon as Heath told him on Wednesday morning he had a surprise for him and once Heath told him he was sort-of-a-little-confused as at his age he expects a pressie of some sort! Anyway they got into the car and road off to Pilanberg. Heath said once they arrived there he wished he had a video camera as Reece was bouncing around everywhere saying “Thank you….. Thank you … Thank you dad for bringing me to my favourite park!”. They only stayed for one night and were back the following lunch time. In that short period they saw two lion kills and one pride of lion with wait for it…… 19 lions! Amazing – but if I had been with them we would not have found anything. They were extremely lucky. Reece was in his element as at the camp site there were some giraffe that were being held in a boma so they did not have to go into the park to see his “favourite favourite animal” as he would say. Below is a link to some pic’s of Reece hanging about in some tress at Pilansberg plus some pics of his favourite animals & birds. I actually used one of the pictures in one of my scrapbooking projects for a front page to his album. It came out really well! I will take a picture and load it on the blog next time or later in the week.

Well I had better get ready for bed as I have a long day ahead of me. One of my work colleagues has nominated us to assist in a community project sponsored by our current client who is involved in the building industry. Apparently we will be involved in building houses for the under privileged, Don’t think we will be doing much building as we are not part of the skilled staff we are just seen as helpers so we will more than likely be painting/cleaning or something in that line. More on that next time…….

Chio for now
