Woke up this morning and Ethan had a nose bleed. Sent the laundry through the wash before breakfast was done, but every time it just started to get dry, it would get caught in a passing thunderstorm with accompanying downpour and I'd have to start all over again!
After P-J got back from offloading the hay bales, we set off to the shops in West Lebanon (with more confidence in our sense of direction, might I add!!) in search of a sim card. Turns out, you're better off buying a throw away phone for $9.99 than trying to find a pay as you go sim. I so much wanted to get a pic of the 'Geek Squad' cars parked outside of Best Buy...
In the next 3 stores we visited, Jorja practiced her cartwheels. "I haven't done this in a while", she stated, "I need to work this out again." By the time we got to K-Mart though, it was raining full buckets of big raindrops and we had to do the 50m sprint, never mind cartwheels! The kids thought it was lots of fun for an otherwise non-eventful day, but walking around with squeaky shoes on the polished store floor is not my idea of blending in...
When we returned to White River, we were just in time to Skype in to join Aunty Dom's birthday party and see the family - some of whom we hadn't seen since the day we left Cape Town! That was much more of a treat than the baked cheesecake that we missed out on!
Dinner was chilled until we pulled out the UNO cards - Cape Town rules. P-J had us picking up 2 extra cards for any reason he could think of!
Time to head for bed now. Although there's more rain forecast for later in the afternoon, we should get a full morning and early lunch time of sunshine to take advantage of...

what do Ethan and Jorja think of the thunder and lightning? seems like there is quite a bit.
