Grandpa George’s blood count was down again, so he was in hospital from Friday to Monday. He got a blood transfusion and his counts are up again. He needs more tests to determine what to do next.

Go-cart
Dad made the kids a go cart. Luckily we don't have any steep hills around us. Because if we did I am sure Jorja would be the 1st to break the cart or herself down the hill.

Lola and Nibbles
Lola is now in love with Nibbles the hamster. I don't think nibbles feels the same way. But she does enjoy the licking. Although Lola almost drowned her in slobber this time!

World Cup!!!
I managed to get a ticket to the England Slovenia game at the last moment.
Started the trek to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium at about 1:30pm, went to a nearby park and ride, took about 10 minutes to walk from the drop-off point to the gates. About 15 minutes queueing to get to security and about 3 minutes to get through. Was seated just after 3pm. The organisation was great. No queues for beer either!
England won 1-0 in a rather dull game. The buzz in the stadium was amazing, of the 40,000 people, 36,000 were England supporters. The singing England fans drowned out the vuvuzelas.
I had a great seat, on the halfway line, 7 rows from the field. Stadium is amazing!
Thanks to Craig for organizing the ticket.

Kids are back from St Francis
The kids were with ouma and oupa the past week in St Francis. They had a great time, but oupa looked a bit frazzled when we picked them up!
A dead whale washed up on the rocks at Cape St Francis. The kids had a great time watching the process to get the carcass onto a low bed truck to be carted away.
Mom and dad are happy the kids are back home, although the silence and peace is now gone from our home!

FIFA World Cup started
Well the FIFA 2010 World Cup opening ceremony went off reasonably well. At half an hour it was a bit short, but I suppose people would have got bored if it was longer.
Hopefully Bafana Bafana cause the 1st upset and beat Mexico tonight!

Pepsi update
News from St Francis is that Pepsi woke up quite cheerful this morning, still coughing but less slime. She looks more like a 7 month old and want to play. She is eating well and doesn't have an upset tummy.
So its looking better, but its early days still.

The kids are on 5 weeks winter holidays, thanks to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Distemper
All the dogs were rushed to the vet for shots because Pepsi might have distemper.
So far so good, Pepsi is on the mend and it might just be kennel cough.
Animal Welfare has shut down and quarantined all there dogs after they lost 6 over the weekend.
The next 6 weeks will be critical, hopefully they all make it.

Beachwood sports day
We all had a great time at the Beachwood sports day. The kids all took part in relay races, from potatoes on spoons, to batons, to soccer balls.
The dads had a short soccer game. I am sure there will be many sore bodies tomorrow!
We had a lovely braai for lunch before going home to watch the Springboks playing Wales.
Nibbles the hamster
The kids got spoilt again and now have a hamster again, Nibbles. Hopefully this one lasts a bit longer than the last 2!

George’s birthday
Grandpa George had his 83rd birthday today. Lots of family came to visit during the day.
We had all the immediate family over for supper. We did a 1kg fillet on the braai. Everyone had a great time, and not much was left over!
Bouncing balls
Its amazing that when kids just start walking everyone buys them a bouncing ball and it never gets used.
The kids insisted we buy them some bouncing balls and guess what? They can now actually fit on them and use them properly. Keeps them busy forever.
So a word of advice, don't buy a bouncy ball until the kids are at least four!
