Mione Cari Eames

Hey there !

Give it up for Mione Cari Eames

She arrived on 23 May, at the Bay Hospital in Richards Bay, but we have yet to meet her in person. With such a creative and unusual name, and such great parents, she's really set to make her mark on this world....

Welcome Mione Cari, and we look forward to meeting you soon !

Another Durban weekend !

Hey all ! (ie. the 5 people who actually read my blog !)

We had another weekend in Durban - got to see The Python fighting in a Brazilian Jujitsu event at Gateway, and celebrate SistaSue's birthday....

In addition, we purchased a portable DVD playa + screens for use in the car on long trips, to keep the monstas occupied....works like a charm ! That trip to Tiffendell next month is going to be a breeze !

We plan to spend the next coupla weekends at home, just pottering, and visiting (local) friends....

Historical note on Brazilian/Gracie Jujitsu - Gracie was a Scottish seaman who went to Brazil. In 1910 the Japanese Maeda came to the Uk and then Portugal and on to Brazil - he taught the Gracie brothers what was at the time JuJutsu - which could be described as the generic form of martial art from which Kodokan Judo and the modern forms of Ju Juitsu originated. Gracie style concentrates a great deal on Newaza style techniques but is fundamentally 'Judo' (historical comment from Dickie Bowen)
