Have fun on the puzzle, enjoy the rugby, and may the best team win – and if not them, then England or South Africa.
Wow. Morten Harket is 60 years old today.
Thank goodness for Amazon same day delivery.
He’ll never know that I almost forgot. And now he has a lovely new toaster as well. It’s all good.

A 7:30am call from the headmaster informing me of sick teachers and – as a consequence – a shortage of staff, saw me racing to school to join Year 5 on their visit to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
And, despite the rain and the fact that there were 27 (twenty-seven) 10 and 11-year-olds excited to be out and about away from school for the morning, it wasn’t such a bad experience.

Let’s hope that the surgeon in question – whomever they may be – is significantly better at their primary employ than they are at appointing advertising agencies.
A 2-for-1 deal with a plastic surgery practice would also seem advantageous.
