Shoooeee! I have had a hectic time lately. Worked way too many hours this month, and have been putting some serious time into my blog. So when I checked my calendar at the beginning of the month and saw all the Public Holidays we have this weekend, I promptly put in two days of leave and got out almost a week off! And gurrrl, did I need it!
We relaxed with a coffee and then all drove out to
I love going out to the farm for some chill time. It's great as we are all kind of in the same mindset, we can deep and weird with no judgement, and I love it. It's just the most comfortable place, it's home!
Despite the cold weather (Winter is approaching really fast here), Mork's uncle poured us some fancy pink G&T's with cinnamon and blueberries and set to braaiing (barbecuing) - we South Africans take this pretty seriously!
We had an amazing night with loads of delicious food and crazy conversation, from the book of Enoch, to Nephilim, to Trump, Kanye, cooking, clothing, shopping, travelling and back to Genesis.
Then, after the braai we drove to the other aunty and uncle where we were sleeping and were greeted with coffee and more conversation. We got to bed pretty late, around 02h30, and slept sooo well!
We had a lovely brunch with Mork's parents and headed back to the city. We're now looking forward to three more days off, and I am just feeling totally renewed and refreshed. I can't wait to hit my Kindle and get at least one book in my brain.
Sometimes we just need a break, and it is SO important ensure that we are taking proper rests.
I'm pretty sure I was on my way to a burnout, and this week off is a saviour!
How do you relax? What do you like to do? Let me know in the comments!
