we had a nice holiday in e cape 5 days haga haga then st francis with 2 nights in pe. Weather not so good for fishing but otherwise good. I am now back at school 3 days a week . not yet at boarding school but dad says if i keep nagging mom i might get lucky! Swimming starts this week but had to miss out as dad's car in the workshop for repair. I am "doing lots of deals " with mama and dad, 2 more minutes play before bathtime etc. Other catch phrases currently include " a race against time, stop in the name of Plod" . Dad's vege garden is coming on nicely, fruit trees have taken nicely , had a good carrot crop, mielies looking good but the onions not as well as hoped for. Dad says he needs to run a hosepipe down via the borehole system. Should not be too expensive but ....... We are probably going to drive down for granny's birthday in March.
