the baby shower.....

In which we learned that 

a.) Chicken & Veg Purity Baby food tastes like shit. 

b.) You can never have too many wet wipes

c.) Pregnant moms in their third trimester do look radiant and glowing... even when they're wearing a lopsided crown and an adult nappy.

Ant turned 40 last week.

 

 We go way back.

I'm the blonde on the right.

Yep, it was straight and blonde before the hormones kicked in.
I wonder what those rather big pink cookie-type things are?

Anthony lived opposite us in a huge Frank Lloyd Wright-style house right on the water's edge. It was his house we'd go to to catch fish, launch our boats and stand on the balcony to watch the pelicans out on the vlei. From fishing and sailing and building tree houses in the middle of the bush to playing and listening to music when we grew older. A wonderful childhood it was.

I'm really thrilled with the way these pics of Ant's 40th came out. No flash, no tripod (like I'm ever going to be using one in a pub!) -just the highest ISO I could get and a bit of fiddling with the shutter speed.

ETA- Just realised there's a shocking lack of photographs of Zeekoevlei. What a shame. And hilarious that people are still spelling it incorrectly!
