Showering...Will Never Be Quite The Same Again

Today the plumber came and installed the showering devices in the master en suite. As you can plainly see there is not one but TWO shower heads in the shower!

I was pretty excited about this new discovery and so I promtly decided to break in the new hardware. Now; I HAD heard that one person is not actually supposed to use both of the showering heads at the same time, but when you're living in the lap of luxury that saying tends to become overlooked. That said-it was magical!

I have a bad feeling this is not going to be a one time occurance.

I also have a bad feeling that South Africa will do everything in its power to eradicate my newfound partiality!

Bur

Behold-another post. Life has just gotten exponentially more fascinating.

Mostly this is appearing because I have the Brairdale week of Camp off and there is little else to do around the house save eating, sleeping, and bumming around-which is just the way I like it.

Only too bad for me because mum thought it would be a great idea/bonding time if my sisters and I went to the back yard and hacked weeds. So we earned our keep and did those suckers in, but then mum noticed a particularily nasty brand of bur tree that was hiding behind a pile of dirt/cement. Never one to leave to job half-done I took up arms against the beast and began hacking away at it's base (trunk-practically) but then...

IT FOUGHT BACK!!!
I don't believe I have had my mother spend so much time on my hair in a decade plus.

Oh-and also I drove past my old house yesterday to drop my sisters off at a friends and guess what!?! THEY CUT DOWN OUR GIGANTIC PINE TREE THATS WHAT!

I threw a pity party but it kinda sucked because there were no streamers and no body else even showed up.
