Today, 11th Jan was a nice relaxed day. We spent the morning with Aunty Sue and Uncle Mally, close family friends of Jacqui's. Nice cup of tea on the lawn - yet again its a tough life!!! Michael spent some quality time at a friends pool he loved it until his favourite man Euge, dropped him off his inflatable dolphin and he got his face wet! Euge or Neen as Michael calls him has dropped down in the favourite ranking. Uncle Peter and Anica has a little party tonight which included their families and ourselves. It was lovely lots of food, noise and alcohol.

12th of Jan saw the Stringer family depart for England. Michael was most upset that he was having to go home and leave his South African bedroom. It was a sad moment for us all with reality of not seeing them for 7-8 months hitting home. Hopefully they will be joining us on the last leg of our trip in North America. Its is quite scary really Michael will of started school by the time we get back! We then went out for dinner with Uncle Peter and Anica to say thanks from the Lewis and Stringer family for having us.
