Ouma and Oupa arrived back from their 3 week tour around the western and northern cape with their new camper. Everything went well and they really enjoyed themselves.
Saturday they came to pick up oumies Janet and the 2 dogs who stayed with us for the 3 weeks. We had a great Snoek braai.
They took the kids with to St Francis for the school holidays. So the house is very quiet at the moment!
We spent our first day on the beach yesterday. The water was a freezing 16°C, but that didn't stop the kids from swimming. We saw some amazing dark blue Nudibranchs in the rock pools, possibly Tambja capensis.
Today we are all a bit browner with a slight hint of pink. Except for Shirley who is a pink prawn!
So Shirley took Jorja to the doctor for a very red eye. Luckily it turned out not to be pink eye, but a cornea infection. During the examination the doctor noticed something in her ear. So it was off to the ear specialist to remove an eraser from the end of a pencil out of her ear. Doesn't seem like there was any damage.
So we have had a perforated eardrum, courtesy of Kayra and a feather. A bead up the nose, and now a rubber in the ear. What next?
We have a new dove chick, hopefully the parents will not try and kill this one!
The previous one, Diamond, is going well in the house. It flies around and back to its perch. It also cleans the floor quite well!
The Kakariki Shrek passed away this morning. His eye was improving, but over the weekend he took a turn for the worse and it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened.
Shirley buried him in our pet graveyard.
We lost a budgie yesterday. Think it tried to fly through one of the wooden uprights and broke its neck.
The pet grave yard is growing in size. We have Tia, a bunny, a dove, a wagtail, a hamster and now a budgie.
On a more positive note, the Kakariki is still alive. I think it will lose the eye, but it looks good so far.
