Holiday approaching!

As of 5pm today I'm on official leave until 15 April! It seems like such a long time, though I know it will fly past. My son's school closes today for their first-term break too.

So what are we planning for the holiday time?
* A trip to Agulhus, the southernmost point of Africa, 2 hours' drive from here.
* Duning at Betty's Bay - armed with a flattened cardboard box and a wax candle for slip-power. The dune is IMMENSE and we'll sleep well after a day there...
* A possible trip to Cape Point - my son's never been there though we can see it from our front door. If it proves too expensive to get into (nature reserve = pay to enter), we'll head for nearby Scarborough beach for the day, or take a trip to Long Beach and see if we can go camel-riding.
* Daily care of 11 birds, 5 dogs and a fish - only 3 dogs and the fish are mine, the rest belong to a neighbour who left this morning on a 6-day hiking trip.
* New Leon Schuster movie - local funny-man and prank-player, should be "samoosa funny" (SA joke...).
* TaeBo start-up - as of tomorrow morning! Pray for us...
* Bit of gardening - winter veggies need planting out before it's too late.
* Bit of nothing-doing to balance all the above out.

And then there's Easter of course. We'll find ways to make it meaningful again this year. A bit of work on our shrine, a trip to a nearby church that we've never been to for the Friday morning service, some time spent in prayer and thought.

It's gonna be a good break! But if you thought you'd have nothing to read on the blog during this time, think again! I'll be here to check up on things and water the plants regularly and probably post my latest irrelevant thoughts while I'm at it.
