Oeps

Heeelloooooooo!
Happy new year.
Back online, back in the working world, back to normality!

We had a lovely Christmas, and just took Werner's children back this weekend. Despite the hard work of having 5 kids around - it was sad to see them go. Eric had tick bite fever while he was with us, so we had a few troublesome nights with him, and we heard on Monday that Carissa has tick bite fever too. They all spent time on the farm before Christmas - with the Prof and Cream Puff - so - I guess that is the down side of country life.


The children had a wonderful time on the farm. There, they ride horses, swim, even row boats in a nearby dam. The Prof was well behaved, or perhaps they had more space to escape his grumpiness, than when they are at home with him. Despite the lovely life style of the farm, they were happy to come home again - and live a normal, somewhat more sedate lifestyle. It took a few days for them to settle back into our way of life here!



While the kids were with us, we painted T-shirts, decorated cookies, read stories, took photos... made food, made more food (that cycle just never ends!)

Well, that is a very short recap of what has kept us occupied. Shoo.



I think it is time to get back to the story line. I was last telling you where Werner was in the whole story. He had found out about the affair, had in fact also discovered who the other man was, Cream Puff was still living at home, but Werner knew it was over. He just didn’t know when she was leaving.

A funny incident occurred round about this time: before Cream Puff moved out. It was quite late at night, and Cream Puff was acting strangely. She had been sms-ing on her phone and just generally, Werner sensed that something was not right.

Not quite able to figure it out, he told her he was going to bed, but he actually went outside, to stand in the garden and smoke… and think, I guess.

Standing in the shadows, he noticed a car pulling up in front of his house… guess who! The Prof!

Werner walked out to the drive way – and casually asked the Prof – “Can I help you?”

The Prof got an awful shock!. He had come over, to give Cream Puff a humidifier (my humidifier!), because one of the children was sick and coughing.

The Prof practically threw the humidifier down, jumped in his car and rushed off… in the process bumping his car into a tree.

His car still has the bent back fender as proof, but he has changed the story a few times over. When the children asked him what had happened to his car, he told them he had driven in to a tree at the university. Funny enough, this same conversation recently came up between Marinda and her dad, as a discussion they were having on TRUST. She was saying she couldn’t TRUST him because he had lied to her, and she used this as one of the examples. He got very upset, and told her, he had bumped his car into a tree in our street.

Tsk tsk… when you lie – you need a better memory than that Prof – your stories aren’t straight!
