THAT BLASTED SHOULDER

So I broke my shoulder in three places in July 2010 with the aid of a South Easter and the car door in the Fish Hoek Pre Primary car park.  7 Months later and it's still broken, so yesterday I went for a scan to check all the tendons, which I am pleased to say are all in tact and undamaged, so that leaves the question as to why the bones are not healing.  I am still waiting for that to be answered.

Kids are doing well and Samuel's teacher has finally realized, after telling her about 10 times, that he needs to start from the beginning and learn his ABC's and 1,2,3's.  Here they start learning to read and write at 4.  In South Africa it's 7.  So needless to say we are WAY behind, but poor little blighter he is battling on and it's starting to pay off because he's getting it.  I just the wish the teacher would.

Teaching Samuel

Manu's working the entire weekend which leaves me without a car, but up until Monday there is no snow forecast so we can walk about.  The best thing for the kids to do at the moment is throw stones in the river to break all the ice.  Of course I freeze my backside off whilst sitting in a freezing wood waiting for them to finish, but it's nice to be outdoors.  I miss that - living in an apartment without the luxury of a garden gets to you sometimes.
