unfortunatly i yet haven't got into the habbit of updating this blog regulary- sorry!
but heres an overview of whats going on....
christmas shopping!- this is normaly done sitting on my bum and ordering bits and bobs of amazon! but yesterday i went into cape town where theres a really cool building which does handmade african craft, being africa there was no set price for anything. so you ask the chap how much this is, he says like 400rand (roughly £35) i say il pay 250rand then you keep arguing until you meet somewhere in the middle, luckenly i managed to get my parents christmas present for half price (after mentioning the bloke upstairs had something very simular for half the price- when we settled i carryed on looking around and then relieased there wasn't another floor, a quick eascape was made)
after shopping i stopped of by the waterfront, which was amazing timing as the volvo ocean race was at the cape town satge (a sailors dream!) volvo was there with loads of stimulator machines, one for sailing, lorry driving, digger operator, airbus etc. lorry certainly wasn't easy so hats of to them!
unfortunatly theres being loads of crime around the farm, internet cables have being nicked again (fortunatly for us we've being recently upgraded to saterlite internet- one satge ahead of the thiefs)
a guy has being ambushed at gun point when driving a quad bike around the country club (which is not far at all from here)
henry believes one of our power supply bokes have been tempered with on the farm (whish is scary as someone might have come onto the farm)
one of our house mum's son has being in comma for 9days after suffering injuries due to physical abuse from his father, he only woke up a few days ago and the extent of his brain damage is not clear. unfortunatly this is not the first abuse story i have heard in my short time here- gives you bit of an insight.
please pray for the poor chap as he starts his long road for recovery.
hope you guys that went to wholehearted in alysbury enjoyed the event?!
