It's a game of two halves Brian

This week has been a bit different. On Wednesday I went to watch Serbia v Australia at the Mbombela Stadium. I got there over 2 and a half hours early. Very impressive stadium, and Australia won 2:1. I texted my dad from the stadium to tell him where I was sat - opposite the tunnel and to the right in the corner 5 rows from the top. He watched part of the match, but couldn't spot me in the crowd, even though I waved.

Mum and Dad went to Gardeners World live at the National Exhibition Centre, and were pictured in the crowd on Toby Buckland's twitter site. To be fair, the crowd was a lot smaller and quieter.

On Thursday I flew to Cape Town for a week, staying with some relatives of people at White River. Arrived safe and sound. House very nice, and now going out for some dinner.

When I get back I might be going to Swaziland for a couple of weeks, and in early August mum and dad are flying out for a visit. That will be good! They have volunteered too, so I will have dad on hand to pass me tools, and dig drains.
