A is Bradley’s other girlfriend. She goes to school with him and they’re inseperable at the moment. She had a dolphin party today, and thankfully the weather cleared up so the water party could happen as planned.

The birthday season has started so the next few months are going to be packed with kids parties on weekends.

We had a bit of a break from all the rain today, and the mushrooms are already popping up in the lawn!

I took the photo looking at my sidemirror in the traffic today… you can see the cars snaking up the hill.. at a complete standstill.

This is the result of load-shedding! Eskom (SA’s electricity provider) doesn’t have enough capacity to provide power to everyone anymore, so every day they turn off power to different suburbs on a timetable (or so they say because they rarely stick to it).
Today, Sandton was without power from 6-8:30am and then from 10am-4:30pm! It’s causing chaos in this country… and the level of productivity in all industries is just dropping sharply as a result. It’s only when you don’t have the power, that you realise how much you rely on it.

Connor is getting a bit frustrated at not being able to play outside. It’s been raining and mizz for days now.
