No, it cant't be...

Guess what I saw today?

Jip, the first one. I am not happy.

You know you're in Africa when....part 7

You see these in masses around this time of year. These are Clivia lillies, indigenous to South Africa, but popular around the world. Almost every garden in Pretoria sport some of these.

Thanks for your prayers

Just a little bit of news on our friend Stefaan - he is doing extremely well and it looks as if the predicted 2 months hospital stay might be only 2 weeks! He might be transferred to the rehabilitation program as early as Thursday! This is almost a miracle the neurologist said to Ilse. His physiotherapist said that it is pure guts and will to improve that is driving him to recuperate this fast. Off course, his excellent health has also played a part. I believe it is all the above and the many many prayers sent to heaven fro him. Thank you so much each and every one of you for yours, and please continue to do so. Ilse is taking strain with the business and the pregnancy. We are allowed to see him from yesterday, but we have not had the chance to visit yet. We will try tomorrow in amongst the elections and his daughter's visit the morning. Yes, it's Cat's nursery school tomorrow - looking forward to be able to help again.

Today is also our very first day that actually feels like Autumn, or maybe even Winter. From Thursday it is compulsory shoes to school (refer to this post if you want to know more: http://juggelingactoflife.blogspot.com/2008/10/5-things-friday_31.html) So yes, I guess I have to admit the seasons has actually changed. Oh and I do NOT like Winter.
