Oh my...

Shew... he's nice. He's very, very nice. And we had a really lovely weekend. I know it's still very early days, but I can only say that I haven't felt this way about anyone since Jacques, which is a pretty scary thing...

We spent yesterday afternoon at Danie's house and had an absolutely lovely time. He's got all the toys a boy could ever dream of owning and Jake was in his element. We went out fishing in Danie's little boat and went on a tour of the marina - it's like a whole other world and it's really pretty. The houses are all built on the water's edge and the weather was super yesterday, so everyone was outside, braai'ing, fishing and sunning on their decks. I felt like I was on holiday. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me, but will take pictures next time.

Danie's house is really beautiful. A typical bachelor's pad though, complete with fridge full of drinks. It's a little under-furnished and he still has a bit of work to do to finish it off, but it's gorgeous and every thing's practically like new (I don't think he's even used his stove yet). It's double storeyed (storied?), with 3 huge bedrooms (they're each about half the size of my house) upstairs, all with balconies and stunning views over the marina. The main bedroom's got a dressing room and en suite bathroom and there's another full bathroom upstairs and a study. On the lower level, the entire front of the house opens up onto the lawn, which runs down to the water's edge. The kitchen is open plan and there's a scullery just running between the kitchen and the garage, which I love. There's a huge area that's totally unfurnished between the kitchen and doors leading outside, which I'm guessing is meant to be either a second lounge or a dining room and there's obviously the typical boys lounge with flat screen TV, big couches and lots of sound on the other side of the lower level.

Besides that, he's kind and caring and he makes me feel so special. He phones me all the time and I love how gentle he is with Jake. I think I'm falling for this guy and I'm not the least bit scared.

Jake's come out with a few priceless quotes in front of Danie this weekend. The best probably being that I'm now Danie's girlfriend and that he's going to kiss me all over and give me an egg in my tummy. An egg? Seriously? I think the time has come for us to have a little chat about a few things. HAHAHA - nothing like a kid to break the ice.

Anyway, I hope that every one's well and happy like me. I have a busy week ahead. Tonight's a wine tasting at Buitenverwachting, Wednesday is a long overdue dinner with some special friends, Thursday's book club and hopefully I'll see Danie somewhere in between.

Take care of you and lots of love,
