Strike still on...gas prices up to 7 Rand per litre. Kids are in school but may be out for a day or two next week. Schalk Burger may be bound for France next year.
This morning I saw a man walking in the wildlife enclosure on devil's peak. He was just walking around, stopping here and there to watch the animals. He was obviously not supposed to be there. The animals were watching him very warily and stampeding here and there to avoid him getting too close. I was just about to call someone (not sure who) and then he walked out.
The rugby matches for Saturday are also cancelled due to the strike. Too bad, Henry was getting pumped about that.
We are thinking of joining Dan and Yvonne at a township church service this Sunday. Would be interesting, much of the service would be in Xhosa, the local language.

Katy had a great time at the Saturday morning hockey festival (they don't call them tournaments if they don't keep score). She played goal for three games, and then at our suggestion, asked to play out for the last game. Here we saw her full potential, as she scored a goal and led her team to victory! The smell of Boew'wors was in the air from eight oclock in the morning as the braiis were lit up early. Everyone wanted a sausage burger! They were good, I tell you, but every bit as greasy as a McDonald's sausage mcmuffin.
On Sunday we had been invited to Heather Prest's for afternoon lunch, she is a fantastic cook and this was a super meal. We were spoiled.
Yesterday Henry had the day off so after dropping Katy off at school the boys took off to do the shopping and then off to the V & A to look at the aquarium. We also found that there is a new Subway restaurant open there. Our first subs in six months. Not a huge treat, but a treat nonetheless.
Henry was back to school today (Tuesday) but there are still some kids that are at home. They government has come back to the table with another .5% (total to 6.5) and that was rejected by the unions. Hopefully things will work out soon. All extramurals have been cancelled as a result except for weekend events. Henry has a rugby tournament on Saturday which we'll look forward to.
