Jorja’s gym badges

jorja got her badges for her artistic gym tests. She was very proud to brag about them!

Kayra almost lost an eye

Kayra had an accident at rhythmic gym practice yesterday. They were practicing ribbon, that meant throwing the stick, yanking it back and catching it. Well her aim was off and the stick ended up in her eye. Luckily it missed all major parts by millimetres. No stitches, just rest and recuperation.

Jorja’s 1st artistic gym competition

Jorja had her 1st artistic gym competition at Anderson’s Gym. She did well in the beam and the bar but struggled on the floor and vault. She ended up 9th, not bad for only a few weeks of artistic gym.

Midget is getting feathers

Midget is finally getting feathers. He/she is still much smaller than the others in the same brood. We have tried to reintroduce him/her into the coop, but the others attack the poor bird immediately.

Ouma’s birthday

We went out to St Francis bay for ouma’s pre-birthday party. We had a lovely braai on Saturday night and Sunday we wen to Joe fish for lunch. The girls had a great time swimming in the pool while the adults chilled out over a glass of crisp dry white. The ribs and calamari platter was tremendous.

On the way home part St Francis burned down, 76 houses were destroyed. the gale force westerly didn't help at all. Amazing that no lives were lost. Click here for details.
