Best brekkie ever!

A quick note before I dive into today's ramblings: I duffed the link to Skelkids Facebook Page yesterday. To 'like' 'em on the book of faces - click here!

Sweet, sweet delight, look what's opened up in Durbs! For the past few weeks, I have been drooling over the frozen yoghurt posts that have been popping up on the American and British blogs. Everytime I saw a creamy punnet stuffed with jelly babies, I would wince at the screen, thinking 'Why can't we get some of that sugary goodness here in Durban?' I even went as far as to create my own with shop-bought stuff but it wasn't the same. Then lo and behold, I was driving down Florida Road and saw that a Frozen Yoghurt bar called Wakaberry had sprung up in our very own town!! So that was it - Sunday brekkie was Frozen Yoghurt although I went a bit nuts with the flavours and toppings - I think I was just excited to use the self-serve machine. There's also a playroom for kiddies, or adults in our case. So if you live in Durbs, and fancy something different, head on down to Wakaberry and give it a swirl! Ha, I am cheese personified sometimesall the time.

Win a tee for a lil' rocker!

Ah. Baby clothes. Aren't they the best?
I melt at the sight of mini Converse or a slammin' pair of baby cords.
And as for baby girls' clothes - please can we get them all in adult sizes!?
Well, I have some friends in the UK who are quite the rocking couple.
They are now with rocking child. Said child is SUPER cute.
In a quest to dress their lil' rocker in some stylin' threads, they decided to start a kiddies' apparel company called Skelid Clothing. And they have a tee to give to one of you!

Don't have a tot? Not a problemo.
The prize will make a great birthday/baby shower prez.

I wanted to photograph a toddler wearing the above tee but I don't know any toddlers personally. I did know some but the have since grown up. The youth, eh! And yes, I still say 'No Problemo.' The slang of the naughties features too many acronyms for my taste. 'Lol' is as good/bad as it gets!

Saturday Market Shoppin'

For some reason, I couldn't sleep on Friday night and ended up catching up on blogs at 3am. A couple of the market regulars blogged what they would be selling the next day so when I eventually nodded off around 4am, I ended up dreaming about biscuit brooches and button scoops! In my zombie state on Saturday morning, I ended up buying instead of browsing so I am now poorer but well accessorized. Here are a few snaps of the day. I've linked up the goodie makers below. x

In no particular order. (Because I'm a lazy sod.)

Dinner and a show!

You know how cute couples go to carnivals for first dates in American movies? That's pretty much the stuff of my dreams. I LOVE funfairs and all their trimmings! Thing is, they hardly ever come to Durbs and when they do, they're kinda random. But, a magical travelling show called Madame Zingara has come to town! The troupe hails from Cape Town and the tent in which they perform is draped in plush purple velvet with stained glass windows around the top. It's one of twenty ever made! A bunch of us from work huddled into a booth and Captain Jack Sparrow served us a scrumptious four course meal! In between bites, people in sparkly getups swung from the ceiling and threw each other around on rollerskates. It was amazing! And wonderful to see so many people dressed up in feathers, sequins and suspenders. We weren't allowed to snap pics of the show itself but here are a couple of the setting. Lots of underwear on washing lines which I was rather taken with!

I'm on a bit of a life-induced blogging go-slow at the mo.
Will have to go on a blog reading binge once I've caught my breath.
Later friends. x
