Birthday Day

It was Michael’s birthday on the 1st March. We had to leave for Jo’burg VERY early on his birthday so that he could get to the YMG Convention (FYI: the YMG is the men’s organization in the church, and the Convention is their four day annual meeting) So we decided to celebrate on Wednesday night with a braai.



The day got away from us a little, and we eventually got home after 8, lit the fire, stuck on some red meat, opened some presents and had a relaxed evening.



We stayed with the Coopers in Jo’burg during the Convention which was really great – they have indoor plumbing and TV. They also took us out for supper on Michael’s birthday. It was good to celebrate with friends. We are doing well here. It’s taken some time settling into our weekly trek to Jo’burg (which is why we have been a little slack with new blog posts recently) but it’s all good…
