Guests: Andy and Matt - visitors from the UK
To find us take the N1 into Cape Town. At the traffic lights at the CTICC continue straight. Drive on till you get to third traffic intersection where you will turn left into Strand Street (landmark is the old NG Kerk). Once in Strand Street, cross the first set of traffic lights (Bree) and then the second (Loop) at the third, turn right into Long Street – it’s a one way. The building at the corner of the first intersection you will drive to is The Grand Daddy. Park. Come inside and take the vintage elevator to the rooftop Airstream Trailer Park where we will clip your tickets and welcome you to a night at the movies. 
Movie: Double Indemnity
R50 buys you entrance to the movie, a drink of your choice (wine, beer, cider or a soft drink), popcorn, ice cream & some sweets / candy floss. A great evening out – classic movies (not mainstream movies so be warned you need to leave your mind open to the classic style of movie) at an outdoor cinema!
A nice touch was a blanket on each seat – and we sure needed it as the wind was howling.
Definitely recommended and very good value for money. We met Andy and Matt who were visiting down from the UK. They also showed us their "pad" trailer that they were staying in for the two nights. Welcome to Cape Town, we hope you enjoyed out beautiful city and visit soon. See pics at the top of them. Evening enjoyed by all.
Is it an Eskimo - no it is Linda:-)

MYOGA RESTUARANT
Tucked away in leafy Newlands, in the Vineyard Hotel, is Myoga Restuarant and KKC visited for the recently launched High Tea. The setting is superb, as we were seated on the terrace over looking the mountains and lush gardens.
Our waiter Ray (Sugar Ray) was very attentive to his table of ladies and did his best, but however, couldn't contain his mirth when Janine enquired about the Pikkies (Piejies). The menu (which changes daily) was extensive and we could choose 2 savoury, 2 sweet together with a scone and choice of beverage for R75. The conversation and the food were decadent. Our laughter lit up the otherwise very quiet and peaceful restuarant. Very interesting topics added to the day. Time to be remembered. Wedding was taking place in the lush gardens and even the very gorgeous looking minister came over. The ladies had to put their tongues back in their mouths. I (Kerry, we,)thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and will definitely be going back for dinner. Who's joining??
Ray our waiter ;-)

After much diary consultation and moving around of Clarissa's baby showers, we finally found a date to do the August KKC. 6 ladies arrived at the Breeze house and each lady was given a pack which consisted of crochet hook, wool and a step-by-step instruction page. Mrs Breeze was very patient and showed each one how to crochet. The objective of the day was for each person to finish one square. Some found it to be really easy and got way ahead of the rest of the group, others realised that they would stick to taking photo's and looked after all the guests with refreshments and food. Thanks for the patience. Hope you all had fun. ;-)

This month we, under the guidance of Linda (our master baker), made koeksisters.What an adventure. We were all prepared with our aprons, mixing bowls and woodens spoons but ended up mixing the dough with our hands. Firstly Linda explained how she made the syrup the night before - complete with diagrams on a makeshift whiteboard on her dining room wall.Then we set to work in two groups to make the batter. It was a messy business but soon we had dough that was ready to be rolled out.Linda appeared with these amazing koeksister cutters which took away all the stress of cutting the strips evenly. We made loads of koeksisters and while we were busy, Linda deep fried the raw koeksisters and then dunked in the cold syrup. We were sampling as we went along and enjoying some wine and Fiona's homemade lemonade. We had a few 'doughy' koeksisters but we ate those too...Vannessa - who came along to watch - also enjoyed sampling the morsels we produced.Afterwards we watched the dvd of Vannessa's 4d scan. Thanks to all the ladies who attended..it was lots of fun.

What is Artjamming?
Some people jam music, here people jam art. At Artjamming, you simply walk in and let your imagination take hold of the paint brushes. We are more than paint and canvas. We pump creativity, imagination, and colour to a chillout beat.
No drawing or painting skills are needed. Artjammers at the studio are provided with canvases, acrylic paints on tap, and tools to freely express themselves. Let your mind loose and fill the canvas with colours and inspiration.
Artjamming is "paintertainment" whether it's with friends, family, co-workers and clients or young children. We also offer: birthday parties, team building parties, corporate events, school holidays programmes, tuition, gallery and exhibitions.
The girls expressed their creative side, some more than others and some were really creative, using the canvas more than once ;-)

Firstly the Other Women (also 5 of us) met at Osumo’s for some healthy meal choices (my Salmon & Cottage Cheese Salad was scrumptious) and then we went to see the film, The Women.
Cast: Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Nadine, Fiona, Carol, Vannessa & Lucy
Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Carrie Fisher,
Cloris Leachman, Debi Mazar, Bette Midler, Candice BergenDirector: Diane English
This film tells the story of Mary Haines (Meg Ryan), a clothing designer who seems to have it all – a beautiful country home, a rich financier husband, an adorable 11-year-old daughter and a part-time career creating designs for her father's venerable clothing company. Her best friend, Sylvie Fowler (Annette Bening), leads another enviable life – a happily single editor of a prominent fashion magazine, a possessor of a huge closet of designer clothes and a revered arbiter of taste and style poised on Manhattan’s cutting edge. But when Mary's husband enters into an affair with Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), a sultry "spritzer girl" lurking behind the Saks 5th Ave perfume counter, she is devastated and is forced to re-evaluate her life. Mary and Sylvie's relationship is tested to breaking point while their tight-knit circle of friends, including mega-mommy Edie Cohen (Debra Messing) and author/lesbian Alex Fisher (Jada Pinkett-Smith), all start to question their own friendships and romantic relationships.
This film is ALL about the women and is man-free (finally a cinematic moment that centers on women and women only.) Oops sorry – there was a cameo role by a very, very small man at the end of the movie.
The performances of the all star cast were wonderful in this bitchy, funny and stylish comedy. Wooohooo to Jada Pinkett Smith who wins my tiny little Chocolate Lindt Reindeer (which I am very fond of) for her performance.
Debra Messing gets the Lindt Reindeer’s bell for being so glorious and so honest because that’s all we want after all – a little well-timed honesty, a little kindness and a lot of love.
I heard women giggle, chuckle, sigh heart wrenchingly and even snort in unison. I left the cinema with a huge grin on my face. Well worth the price of a ticket (a whopping R15 on Wednesdays).
Note: The Other Women have nominated Janine to be our baby-machine, Edie Cohen, in our tight-knit circle of friends….. (JB you have to see the movie to understand).

Great fun was had by all. New experiences had - Art Exhibition. The trick is to serve alcohol at the function and then no one notices if it is bad art, or how much money they are spending.

On 29 October 2008, our group went to the Teddy Bear Workshop at Canal Walk to make our own special teddy bear friends. It's an ingenious concept. Firstly we chose a carcass. The prices of the carcasses range from R99 to R300 depending on the type of teddy you want. Then we moved on to the customised heart machine (your teddy bear needs a heart). You can choose either hearts that beat, to hearts that have special messages and even record a special message of your own. The hearts were put into the teddy beara and then we assisted with stuffing the teddy bear. Before the teddy bear was stitched up, we had to make a wish on a material heart and that was also put into our bears. Then we were off to groom and 'shower' our bears. Once that was done..it was time to choose the outfit. This is where the process got tricky. There were so many outfits and accessories to choose from. It was a difficult decision to make. Between the four of us we had a Viking, Superman, a hoody bear and Isabella (a girl bear with a black wig)...Once our bears were dressed, we named our bears and had birth certificates printed...Before we left with our new friends we took the teddy bear pledge to always love and care for them.... and I'm sure we will.... 
Share What You Don't Wear Party - Sept 2008
What: Share What You Don't Wear Party
New initiative trend to hit the market. We all were getting bored of our old clothes and wanted a brand new look, new styles, and just to busy to go out shopping. The girls got together one Friday evening and brought all our old clothes, bags, shoes. Everyone went through each other's clothes and took what we liked. Good food, wine and conversation was had by all too. The leftover clothes we decided that we would donate this to a charity. A week after we had our little "clothes party" this article was found in the Essentials magazine : "Q Ever wondered what to do with your clothes you no longer wear? A: Throw a "Share What You Don't Wear' party! Invite the girls over, open a few bottles of wine, serve some snacks and enjoy rummaging through one another's 'this is o not me anyore!' apparel. What you no longer wear, your girlfriends might love and vice versa. Clothes with no home go to charity!

Most of us met up at House of coffees for a quick snack, coffee, chat…the usual when 8 – 10 women get together.
Then off to see the movie. I think I speak for all of us when I say it was brilliant. And here’s something amazing…Janine sat still, through the whole movie!
A few single Mexican waves came along when Colin Firth (HUNK) made his appearance on the screen. For anyone who is of the opinion that Pierce Brosnan can’t sing…well, who cares. At 60+ he looks darn good and he played James Bond…as Nadine said, “if Millie Vanillie could do it, why can’t he?”.
Ok, back to the movie. Daughter of single mom getting married, never knew her dad, but from her mom’s diary figures out it’s 1 of 3 possible men who her mom spent some idyllic Greek nights with. Send invite to all 3 and all 3 accept, neither knowing that there’s a possibility of being a dad. And so the fun begins. For the rest, go see the movie. Meryl Streep…awesome (looking for that dress she wore for the wedding, if anyone sees similar one!).
And of course…the songs by ABBA…everyone knows at least one or, like me, one line out of a variety of them. Bet ya you were all humming away the next day (to the frustration of your colleagues and/or partners, etc, hey).
And we even remembered to take a pic…yay!

Meryl Streep…awesome (looking for that dress she wore for the wedding, if anyone sees similar one!).
And of course…the songs by ABBA…everyone knows at least one or, like me, one line out of a variety of them. Bet ya you were all humming away the next day (to the frustration of your colleagues and/or partners, etc, hey).
And we even remembered to take a pic…yay!
