12:28 PM 02 November 2008 Me with a cow in Sandton City I had to pose with this cow reading a newspaper in Sandton City. After a press conference at the Sandton Conference Centre, I took a stroll into Sandton City where I had brunch at the cafe right next to this bench. The breakfast was a little disappointing, but the cow was fun.

Mamma Mia

The four of us went to see the movie Mamma Mia at Roxy's at Pepper Grove Mall so we were all feeling unusually silly - as you can see in the pictures.



After the movie we went to Dulce and had a late sort of lunch. The whole day was very entertaining.

Ilza takes Mila, Zoe and Steve to see the Mikado

Last night we went to see the Mikado. It was a great production at the Monument.
It was the first opera/operetta for the girls so we we not sure how they were going to deal with it.
The production last about two and a half hours. During the overture, Zoe got very fidgety because she couldn't see anything, she kept asking me questions and I tried to calm her down.
One the actors came on stage she was fine and behaved well.

Mila was absolutely transfixed by the whole production. She clearly loved it.

I really enjoyed being out with my family. It was great that Ilza took the initiative to get the tickets and take us all out.

Winter's day at Kenton-on-sea

It was a beautiful quiet weekend. We have recovered from the National Arts Festival and we are now getting ready for the new term at Rhodes and of course in two weeks time we move to our new house.
We had a great time, playing on the sand dunes, then we walked in among the rocks that had been exposed by the low tide.
I took some photographs of seagulls with my Olympus.
We slowly walked to the mouth of the Kariega River and then I helped Mila and Zoe dig moats, dams and river channels.

We had lunch at the restaurant on the beach - great pizzas and then a relaxing drive back home to watch some cricket.
