What a week....what a week!

This week was awful, but also had good things trying to get out here and there. This was a slow week but with fast happenings. I am not going to try and explain this one, it was just like that.

It is getting warmer and we "nearly" had some rain.....jip, all the right noises coming from the sky, all the right visual effects coming from the sky, and then it started....... one drop, then another, and then 3 more.......and it STOPPED! Nothing more, nothing less.....???? Oh well, at least it did its best in trying to give the earth some refreshments.....
Go figure. Never get too excited before the time.

They have a saying here in South Africa - and remember I did not say it - ( I heard it for the first time in this week!) that it must not rain before the 10th of October. If it does rain before that time, it will NOT be a wet year. If it rains after the 10th of October, we will have a prosperous year. Now..... just to let you know..... we will have a prosperous year.

David is rejoining us as a family as his job did not pan out. The educational department of South Africa did not see it fit to help establish a foreign entity such as the university that he worked for and did everything in their power to make it impossible for them to get a good start. I do not think they will ever start properly and might just go home to Dubai again. Sad, very sad.

But, that is good news for us, as he will be nearby and we will have some fun together. Do not exactly know what he wants to do now, but will let you know as soon as I know! For now I think he wants to take some time off and properly go and greet all his friends.

Danté brought home a good report card. His average for this term is 78%, got 90% for math, but did not do a good job in technology and Social Orientation! For technology he forgot about a project that he had to hand in, and that actually brought his marks down with a heavy hand. Silly. I do not think that will happen again soon :D

My art classes are very intensive. I have a 2 hour slot and this Tuesday I did "Blocking" in a very very different way than I am used to. I used up the 2 hours just doing that!!!!! I think when I am fininshed with this art course, I will be a PRO!

I have to fininsh a nude painting on commision by the end of November, but I will be fininshed with it on time. I am doing this one for Yolanda Barnard, a local journalist of the SUN a local Sunday paper.
I am very excited about this one. I will post it up as soon as I am fininshed with it.

Have a stunning weekend, and an even more stunning week. Hope my week will be awesome to.
