Lovely start to the weekend and a good chill out after the wedding of my girlfriend's sister.
Kiara's dad took us for a lovely dinner at Throbbing Strawberry in Douglasdale and the food was very good - although not good for my program. Still nothing that a few extra steps in the day can't cure.
Chicken Salad
Oxtail Pot with mash
Chicken Fettuccine wrapped in prosciutto with cream sauce
and now for the sweets:
Chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream
Deep fried milk tart with vanilla ice cream and biscuit crumble
Tiramisu
And what would a wonderful meal like this be without a cappuccino, freshly roasted.
Yummy cappaccino to round off a lovely meal
It was a stressful week leading up to the wedding and so nice now to de-stress and enjoy some time with Kiara and her Dad.
Father's day coming up tomorrow and glad to be able to spend some time with both Dads. Looking forward to seeing my Dad and showing him how much I appreciate him.
Wishing all the Dads out there a very Happy Father's Day and I hope you all get thoroughly spoilt. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
We're thinking about spending a week in Cape Town and hoping that the floods happening there at present will not prevent us from visiting the Cape soon

JOHANNESBURG - The Western Cape Disaster Management Centre is on high alert as floods ravage parts of the province.
Heavy rains have caused widespread flooding throughout the province.
A series of cold fronts also made landfall at the beginning of the week, and further rainfall is anticipated.
Meanwhile, residents in informal settlements and low-lying areas have had to abandon their homes due to the flooding.
In Paarl, hundreds of residents had to be evacuated from the area.
Numerous roads have been flooded and trees have been uprooted.
Cape Town officials have described the flooding as the worst the city has seen in over a decade.

The dishes look appetising and the portions look generous. Love the name of the restaurant; next time I’m in Douglasdale I might be tempted to try out those delectable looking desserts.
Cape Town is in a sad state of weather abuse. It makes the heart sad to see all that water destroying people’s lives.
Are you from South Africa at @itsostylish? Yes, I can recommend this restaurant
Yes, I’m a boere meisie ❤️💕🤗
Ah interesting - I was born in SA
