Monday morning another scrumptious breakfast and  a lovely day. Drove to Bettys Bay and the Harold Porter garden which has an excellent eccotrail covering 4 types of vegetation including wetland, dunes, forest and fynbos. A good break and then a superb drive along the winding coast road. Arrived at airport in good time, One mark on back of car (it happened when reversing at Stan's - if he had not been there I think I would have parked at the top of the drive for the whole time!) We were covered with comprehensive so no problem. Tom tom returned - it had its odddities too like falling off its screen holder and not recognising some roads! 2 hour SAA flight to Joburg then watched victorious soccer team arriving with much dancing and singing. Liz had forgotten sunspray was in bag so that got taken away. Shopping at Out of Africa. Slept a bit on Etihad flight to Abu Dhabi and an hour there before flight to London - same hassle getting through security again. Arrived on time and an hour via Victoria and taxi from East Croydon. Home at 4 to find half street electrics off due to local builders. Lights came on again at midnight. Unpacked and found torches and went to bed. Liz went to Dennis's to get online and I finally got online this morning having tried during the night when I woke up! I finished reading Sebag-Montefiore's Jerusalem and Bring up the bodies has arrived. 3 Tablets to read!
