It's lekka to be lekka!

I know I need to write more. I've been coming here lately and staring at the white page on this screen and no words have come. So today I'm just going to write random nothingness. There are Bloggers I rely on to be my inspiration, my many muses and they too have fallen silent of late leaving me to fend for myself in this big wide blogging world. Come back Bloggers, come back.

My week has been quite full yet empty at the same time. Wednesday, the Fiance and I celebrated our 9th year of togetherness with a fancy pants dinner at a restaurant called Pigalle in Sandton. My mouth is watering just thinking about the divine food we ate with gusto. Curried butternut soup, hot rolls, escargot, prawns, steaks, Peri-Peri and glorious wine. They even had Calvados - a french apple brandy digestif we discovered when we were in Normandy. A perfect evening - good food, good service, good conversation and us.

Another busy weekend ahead and then I fly off to Cape Town on Monday. Looking very forward to seeing my mountain and the sea. And my family of course.

I've fallen back into South Africanisms very quickly I'm glad to say. Even using words I never really did before - like Lekka. For my non-saffa readers - quite simply lekka (sometimes spelled lekker)is a word used instead of cool. It is actually the Afrikaans word for sweets. It is a lekka word to use and is quite expressive. It always sounds so genuine and heartfelt.

Have a lekka weekend my friends and readers. Lekka!
