Phumba !

This weekend was quite special....

Sacha and Xavier and Keraan came up on Friday to visit and play some Magic, and they gave Kieran a lift up too.

Saturday was a celebration for reaching the halfway mark of Aziz's TB medication program (3 months down, another 3 to go :( ) - we had some people over for lunch/dinner, and we all had great fun !

On Sunday, we were joined by Ma and Dad and Craig who was in SA visiting his Dad who is ill - we're all hoping that his Dad gets a lot better soon.
Jacquie and Tony returned to Kwambo to make a potjiekos for us - Tony is a master, who used juicy venison meat to make his winning meal that was accompanied by roast leg of WARTHOG (aka Phumba) and a terrific prawns curry contribution from Ma Stoltenkamp.
Even Dad enjoyed the meal, and didn't even kick up a fuss when we revealed that the roast was not actually mutton, but warthog !

Heidi outdid herself again, baking more cakes and trifles than we knew what to do with....!

Clinton and Elaine Palmer joined us on both days, and we are hopeful of the start of a healthy "new" friendship with them. Their daughter, Dana, is sweet enough to substitute for dessert !

TC made the drive up, and we were glad to see him, as he is going through a difficult period - we will return the favour by driving down to Durban for his son's birthday party next weekend.

Ma Patel and Mary-Ann also made the trip, as did Sudah and her mom, Leilah - it was fantastic to see all of them.

Though it rained on and off on Sunday, it was not enough to dampen our spirits, and much talk ensued about the possible start of a social/dance club here in Zululand....

On Sunday Heidi and I went to bed exhausted, but happy, glad that the next day was Monday, and that we were travelling to Durban next Friday, for a "weekend off"...
