I have been adding on to my driving time, since the car finally got its new battery installed. Im guessing i have about 20 hours left to drive before i can go to take my hazard test in February. So far i have also been driving in varied conditions, from dry sunny days, night time driving, wet roads to heavy rain. Also on Motor ways and smaller roads. I have not yet been on the freeway and my maximum allowed speed of 100 km h  But, i have been driving 90 km h so its just a matter of time until i will go someplace where i will need to use the freeway.

The spa area is also finished now, and we have been using it. I have only been in it once so far, but its mostly because its been to windy for my liking.
Its really nice today, as you can see in the picture. Sadly Mike is having hes soccer game tonight so it is not likely we will be getting in it tonight.

We have also Celebrated our first wedding anniversary  I was told not to plan anything at all, and Mike had everything planned out for the whole day. We got ready in the morning i got in the car and was asked to close my eyes and not to peek. When i opened my eyes i soon realized i was in Kings park. Where he had planned a nice picnic and to have a look at everything in the flower festival.
I Had a really nice time, and we had our picnic at a spot with enough shade, view of the city, and close enough to the big stage to give us pleasant volume background music. I had been asked to bring my camera, but i ended up only taking three pictures of two flowers i liked.
After lunch time we went home and freshened up and i was asked to close my eyes again, but it did not last for too long since i had to say.
*there is only one thing you need to turn that way for* turning out from the estate.
And i was completely right. For the dinner, he took me to Roley's on the ridge.
And we had a delicious dinner and amazing dessert.

The weekends since then has been used to build three veggie garden beds behind the house. Witch we have started to fill with lots of herbs and vegetables. Some of them being Basil, Peas, Corn, Tomatoes, Parsley, Spring onion, Lettuce,  Spinach, Melons, Pumpkins, Strawberries, Broccoli  Cucumbers, chili's,  pepper and more. I have not remembered to mention all of what we planted since its quite a lot. There is also going to be potatoes in one of the garden beds, but as far as that's going, there is some potatoes on a tray in the laundry that we are currently trying to get to sprout so we can plant them.

Me and mike has also payed of the Car loan, and we have though of maybe trying to sell the car and buy one that i can drive when i have passed my test. Its going to be sold because i have an automatic licence, and the car we currently own is a Manual car. We have also had a chat with our bank and a finance broker to see where we stand if we would like to buy a house. We now know if we do find a house we really like, (Provided it costs no more than the bank said it's willing to give us) we will be able to buy it.

I have also sent a message to the immigration office to ask them what they will need from me to process my second stage visa for permanency. I need to get some more details for them, and they will be opening my case in January  witch is a bit disappointing since i cant be outside the country for it to be processed and decided on. Even more frustrating is the fact they said it might take up to 6 months after that to get the final decision  For that reason we will probably not buy a house that soon, Or even go visit family.
So i really apologize to everyone for not being able to make Christmas this year either.
Its nothing i can do about it, but it still makes me feel like a complete meanie.

For now i think we need to at least start to think about Christmas.
Easier said than done,This weekend i would like to go to start shopping for Christmas presents and i hope to have a list done by then to actually know roughly what im looking for.

There was some pictures of the National Trials Championship that i didn't put in to my last post when i posted it, i have finally put them in the post now. Sorry for the delay. I also have to say that this has to be it for today. I need to start making dinner.
