SHOWER CURTAINS AND TRIBECA

I forget about mall overcrowding on month end. Brooklyn Mall was uncomfortably packed. Mr Price Home sale was dead already. I grabbed a pair of shower curtains. Nice neutral colour combo, I thought. After that it was a disappointment at Tribeca restaurant. on the other news, the biggest boss was also at this restaurant. food shopping, chicken wings, cooking, etc.
Today has been a short day filled with stuff.

OUTING, SHOPPING AND DINING

Mr Price Shorts

What a day. Work was quite tiring with work and hectic schedules. A colleague told me about Mr Price and how promising it can be. I browse the place with the Geek after work and got him shorts and a vest. I couldn't get any dress for myself. I loved the shorts a lot. We then headed for Exclusive Books to buy him another one of those "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books. He is obsessed with them. Then off to get my colleague a voucher as wedding gift. Finally Ocean Basket. My son is so much fun now that he is bigger.

Today I went to Brooklyn mall with my son for shopping and dining out.

RAIN, MALLS AND STEKINEKOR

Rain outside my window

My day started extremely slow. I was still exhausted after the Namibia trip. So, naturally I camped in my bedroom for what I thought would be the entire day. Suddenly I heard what seemed like heavy rain. I peeped through my window, quickly grabbed my phone and snapped a few photos to capture the moment.

I later had to quickly rush to in Irene villages Mall. Mr came back after work with a huge bunch of roses (he's a keeper) and we decided to go tire our bodies at Brooklyn Mall after dinner. It seems that everyone was actually at Brooklyn mall for dinner. People were waiting, sitting in queues, wine in hand, courtesy of the restaurant.

roses that were given

so many people at Brooklyn Mall

Wakaberry sounded like a great idea for dessert.

Exclusive Books shopping was light

 From there it was Exclusive Books and finally the Movie which kept us until Saturday...LOL. Just after 12 midnight.

A movie was unexpected content

We watched The Wolf of Wall Street. Not what I expected at all and an over use of the *F*word. Today was an eventful day. I had to add more photos.  

GIRLS' NIGHT OUT

Namibia Prawns at The Raft, Walvis Bay, Namibia

Yep, Today we had an amazing girls' night out with my lady colleagues at The Raft, Walvis Bay, Namibia.
Remember the restaurant I spoke about a few days ago? The food was.... a lot. Way too much. I couldn't eat half of that plate. It also cost a small fortune. That set me off R200 before coffee. Vegies were kebabs with some garlic sauce. I missed Ocean Basket right at the beginning of the meal until the end. I must be obsessed with South Africa.

RESTAURANT OF SORTS

Waterfront Restaurant-The Raft, Walvis Bay, Namibia

As we had our lunch at the hotel restaurant today, we had this view. Heart warming right?  It is indeed. This is a restaurant (The Raft) built in the bay. It looks painfully ugly like it can fall anytime from the outside. Work of art if you are strange like me. My hotel room also faces this structure. I'll try to capture it at night. Looks far more interesting. Pity I cant capture flamingos that live near it because I forgot my camera. I am using my tablet with no proper zoom. Kicking myself really hard.

Today I had lunch at Protea Hotel Pelican Bay, Namibia facing this waterfront restaurant.

MENLYN MALL

Menlyn Mall, Pretoria

I ended up shopping up a storm in Menlyn Mall sale. Problem though is that clothes are getting smaller. I wonder why??? Anyway I ended up with all tops and no dress. I am very sad about it. We then went to have a meal at fishaways with hubby. It was my very last meal at that restaurant. No options, fish not done the way I like it, hubby not happy with his fish not well done. But honestly, what were we thinking?
Today I went to Menlyn Mall and impulsively shopped for 5 tops. I took the photo just after 18h00. The place was empty, being a Sunday evening and all that. I will ALWAYS remember not to visit fishaways there.

LEBANESE RESTAURANT IN HATFIELD

Lebanese restaurant in Hatfield, Pretoria

Uncle Faouzi, a Lebanese restaurant in Hatfield, Pretoria is where I had lunch with a hot date today. I know that plate looks very sorry but t sure tasted great. Rice mixed with lentils, grilled chicken breast, salad and some sauces on a bed of wrap. I couldnt eat the wrap because I avoid wheat, but the date said it was delicious. I also managed to buy 5 books including 3 for my son and "The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio" plus "Your money or your life". Oh well, I'm a sucker for a good personal finance book. I couldnt find any other books I liked. I may be starting to read tomorrow or tonight, YAYYYYY!!!

ELARDUS PARK MALL

Elardus Park shopping centre

Today I grabbed a bite at the Chinese restaurant in Elardus Park Mall. It was a very hot afternoon. I still had to go back to office after.
I used to be in malls all the time but since I got this old matured, malls depress me. I cant stand busy malls like Menlyn. They are great but exhaust me beyond belief. Last night we found ourselves in Irene Village Mall. A place I have to visit again. Amazing sculptures everywhere. Its too gorgeous, I think. But we walked around too late at night.

WIESENHOF AT MAKRO

WIESENHOF AT MAKRO

In our search for a PC, we landed at Six Fountains Lifestyle Centre Makro today. Apart from the fact that I was in rest arrears, I had little interest in the technical specifications of desktops. I slipped into the Wiesenhof restaurant inside Makro whilst the boys go up and down to talk this techie yada-yada. I like the restaurant but felt the prices were not as friendly as I hoped. I think I expected them to be Makro prices, I guess. A scone with cheese and filter coffee. From there, Menlyn mall and after a number of store appearances we settled for these modern screen thingies. That's where I am actually blogging today.
