It's Bokke fever here this weekend. Everyone is wearing their green and gold sweaters to support the rugby cause. Flags are being sold on the street corner and the papers have nothing else to say but rugby world cup. As I picked up Henry at his school today, the kids were singing out of their open windows on the second floor trying to one up each other in volume. We heard the Bokke theme song as well as the national anthem, etc... That was brilliant! It's really like hockey back home, everyone will watch the game tomorrow night even if they aren't fans, to support the country. Time will stand still.
On the way to school today I really got dumped on, literally. A huge bird called the hadeda ibis released a prisoner all over my head and back. Quite disgusting actually but a story that needs to be told nonetheless. Luckily I had a tissue and I could take off my sweater.
We're heading to a kite festival this weekend at the beach. Forecast is for 30C tomorrow with a light breeze. Should be nice.
Henry had his first park cricket this afternoon. Had a great time, learning new skills all the time, and Henry enjoyed himself too. I think he hit a couple of 4s and a 6!
