Mounties netball

We went out to Mount Pleasant Primary for Jorja’s last netball match. It was a ghastly day, very cold and windy. The kids ended up playing in tracksuits. Half of both teams didn't pitch up so Jorja ended up playing in all 4 games. Needless to say they came second in all of them! Thank goodness netball if over.

Eastern Cape Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships

Kayra took part in the Eastern Cape Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships at Mentoorskraal in Jeffrey’s Bay. It was and inter-club competition for the Eastern Cape clubs. She came 4th in the under 9 division.

There must have been a problem with the scores displayed cause we were convinced she did very badly. Only a week later when we got the results did we find out she did so well. Go girl!

Southern Zone Women Artistic Gym Competition

Jorja represented Eastern Cape in the SAGF Southern Zone Competition in Uitenhage. They competed against Western Cape, Boland and Southern Cape. She came 11th out of 44 in the 6 and under division. Not bad for her 1st provincial competition. She got a silver medal because of her scores, and was 0.05 away from a gold medal. Go girl!

Jorja’s a Superstar

Jorja got a Superstar award. If she was in grade 3 she would have got a merit badge. Seems like she is the teacher’s pet!

Kasouga

We went to Kasouga for the long weekend with the Riddins. The weather didn't play with. We had gale force westerly on Friday and rain. That didn't stop us from fishing in the river and going for a long walk to Ship Rock in the afternoon. Amazing low profile beaches with fine sand and not much else.

The weather improved on Saturday but there was a lot of seaweed in the water and a huge rip, so it was interesting fishing. Peter caught a few sharks. Shirley, the kids, Taryn and Marc did the walk to Ship Rock at the spring low tide. Shirley took 400 odd photos of the amazing algae on the rocks.

Sunday the weather improved but was still fresh. At least the rip and seaweed was gone so fishing was easy. Shirley, the kids, Taryn and Marc walked the other way and had a ball. Peter caught a few sharks and a decent Elf. We had it for lunch, yummee!

A great weekend was had by all. My fishing luck is at an all time low, maybe next time…
