I spent yesterday morning at the Ikhaya Levangeli, trying to finish up some painting. Mark is trying to get as much work as possible squeezed out of us before we leave. I don't blame him. I had painted the walls white at the end of last week, so now it was time for the cream on the walls, and green on the floor. It was a warm day, so the paint dried quite quickly. The room looks really nice now.We stayed until late afternoon, then went back home. Elaine and I attacked the huge pile of laundry, folded it and sent it with the kids to their rooms. It took us a good half hour, but we conquered it! As the evening went on, the sky got quite dark and cloudy. Then it started to thunder and start to rain a little. Elaine and I went out to our flat and we were going to start getting a few things packed and out of the way. We had a slight delay, when the big, strong, purebred boerboel, Sisco, ran into our flat and stuck his head in the corner. It really makes you feel safe. Since we like our flat flea-free, we decided he couldn't stay. Sorry. It took a lot of grabbing, dragging, and cleverness to get Roxy away, but finally he was evicted, and we started our packing. After supper, we went out to the trampoline to get a good view of the lightening that was rampant and lighting up the sky. One thing about South African lightning, it really puts on a good show! It puts the best of Canadian lightening to shame. There's something relaxing about sitting outside, looking up and seeing the stars, hearing the thunder, then seeing a big flash of lightning streak out of nowhere, and just as quick as it came, disappear again. I tried to get some pictures of the lightening, but only about half turned out. Anyway, here are the pictures!  |
