School started after a very long break. The last week of holidays Michael expressed the need to go to school to see his mates! It didn’t last very long and he isn’t so exited about going to school any more. Every morning a new ache or pain is presented as an excuse to not go to school.
Carina made and covered new cushions for our Cane furniture. It really looks lively and is comfy to sit on again. Working with the machines also inspired her to make some clothes for herself and stuff for Di’s bedroom as a birthday present.

We have now concluded our main Project and apart form a few small scale projects; most people are preparing proposals and generating system process documents. It really feels strange to not be chasing some unrealistic deadline!

Wynand and Marlene returned from their trip the “republic” (for those that were in the army) otherwise know as the RSA. Although they enjoyed their trip, everything seemed very expensive, except eating out and booze! They confirmed that we did the right move to come here (for whatever that’s worth).

I was planning to attend the opening round of the F1 as tickets are really cheap at the moment. We were planning to all go and stay with Carina’s niece but they are moving house at the time so the whole thing has fallen through. The world wide recession may see the collapse of this extravagant circus and it will be a shame if Michael never experienced the roar of a F1 race. The Ozzie race is also under a lot of pressure and may not be around much longer.
