Notes from the Cape

Vicky was recently placed third in the SA junior powerboat championships, after just three meeetings! Vicky is Andrew's "adopted" daughter.

Your can read all of the details below.

Go Vicky!

Many of you know Lois and her guide dog Eccles. You have seen how amazing a guide dog is, and what a different they make to people’s lives. So why don’t you help to make a difference?

Yesterday we walked past a First National Bank ATM, and there was a sign up advertising that you can make a donation to SA Guide Dogs via SMS. All you need to do is to send an SMS to 38051 with the word “see” in the body of the message, and you will donate R10 to SA guide dogs – simple!

The cost of training a guide dog is over R10000 per dog, so every cent counts. SA Guide Dogs receive no funding from government, so they need all the heop that you can give (apparantly they are an animal charity – even though the dogs actually help people)

Go on, make a difference!

I have just become another uncle, and Lois an aunt! Andrew and Nikola (brother & sister in-law) have just given birth to a little boy (a meneer of note in Andrew’s words). He was born at 10:19 today, and he weight 2.36kg.

This does of course mean that the little meneer will only have a birthday every four years, I guess that saves on a few presents! Oh, and his name is Sebastian.

Congratulations to Andrew and Nikola!

Here is a picture of Cameron and Vicky (Andrews children), who made it to the Bedford View News this week! They were all dressed up for Halloween.

I am glad to finally see a pic of Cameron dressed up as Tinkerbell, since I had to carry the costume all the way to Johannesburg.

Hey family! If you have any interesting things happening, let me know and I’ll blog it.
