Doubles Squash Fail
Doubles squash can have some interesting outcomes. On the up side the guy that did this to me limped off the court shortly afterwards.
Injisuthi For Christmas
Sharon and I finished work early on Tuesday (being Christmas eve) so we picked up my mom at 2pm and began the the journey to Injisuthi. It was a relatively painless drive with Emma sleeping for the majority of the way. The last few kilometers however, where the road degraded to a pothole ridden mess, …
A Slow Morning At Inanda
