My gorgeous wife, me and an awesome day


Today was a pretty cool day. We attended Hillsong Church Cape Town and Pastor Phil Dooley was once again awesome! He is one of the most gifted speakers I have ever come across and he always gets the most amazing messages across!

Some GREAT news is that Hayley and I are going to a Hillsong United Worship evening in November! They have scheduled 2 worship nights here in Cape Town. We are so excited. I`ll hopefully get to see Brooke Fraser sing Hosanna, how cool is that? The night promises to be a huge blessing and I cannot wait.

I digress, back to a great Sunday! After church we headed out Simonstown way to see if we could spot ourselves some whales. We did, not the best sightings but at least we saw a few of these amazing creatures. One specific one was jumping and playing. Great to see. I heart whales.
We got home and this was the sight that greeted us. Phoebe had made herself very comfortable in the afternoon sun. These dogs of ours are such characters.
We then settled in to watch some very serious sport. Manchester United drew 1-1 with Chelsea, after leading for most of the game. It was a great match and a perfect example of why I love it so much. Then, onto the Ryder Cup. I watched basically every minute of golf over the weekend and found it an incredible event. Hats off to the USA for winning the cup for the first time since 1999. Some of the golf was breathtaking. I predicted however that Nick Faldo would cost the Europeans the trophy and that proved right. How clever am I?
Lastly, you know how much I love sunsets, this was the gorgeous one that graced the Cape tonight.

Hey Heather! Thanks so much for the kind comments, they are highly appreciated. I have to up my game when I have blogs like yours on my blog roll. Cannot drop the standards cos you guys set the bar high!

SA for all it`s trouble is an amazing country and the Cape is the icing on top. I always say God took His time when He made the Cape.

This is the 3rd time in two days that I've heard the name Brook Fraser. I've never heard her music, but I'm going to have to check it out now.
