Prime Media Plus

Our day started off at the Cape Talk studios where they had set out coffee/biscuits and cold drinks for us.  They were so hospitable!

Cape Talk is housed in the Prime Media building in Green Point.  Here, Yumnah welcomes us and introduced us to Aden Thomas.  His endearing personality with the wonderful "background to Cape Talk" that he gave us, had everyone 'eating out of his hand.'

We were taken through to one of the studios where Aden explained how they get 'the show on air'.  The ladies clamoured to be photographed with Aden. Elizabeth, Jenny and Annette share a light moment with him.
Di, Margot and Trish also welcomed being photographed, whilst Erika, Norma, Veronica and Theresa didn't miss a word Aden was saying.

"I can always give up my part-time job at Hospice and become a DJ" says Annette.  It took quite some persuasion on Carol's part to get everyone to leave the studio to be in time for their ride on the Wheel of Excellence at the waterfront.

Susan, Carol and Dawn photographed in front of the wheel.  Colleen, Joan, Norma and Wendy wait their turn for a ride.  (Norma and Wendy were down from JHB, where we discovered the Wheel is moving to in 2011)
"Aren't we lucky the South Easter hasn't come up" said Glynnice, Amy, Doreen and Jenny.  Diana, Gillie, Dawn and Susan also eagerly waiting their turn.
Our lunch was at The Hildebrand Restaurant.  By now the South Easter had come up and we had to sit indoors - pity because views of the V&A Waterfront are spectacular.

Trixie and Jenny were thrilled to get their gifts from the ladies day. They were away and missed the luncheon, but, a sure way to please any lady is with a gift - so smiles all around, even if the gift was a belated one.  Maureen and Heather still recognizing friends - 'old' and 'new' from the collage that was given to them at the luncheon.  This collage seems to becoming a regular feature with one or two ladies actually bringing them in their bags to help them to remember new friends names!  Even though we had not traveled a long distance our time in the city was a fun time spent with friends! 

A Friend Is Like...

A friend is like a forest,
Or a lovely, calm blue sea,
A refuge from life’s problems,
As only a friend can be.

A friend is like a song,
Soothing to the brain,
Distracting us from trouble,
Neutralizing pain.
