Sponsered!

We finally got around to doing something today that we have been talking about for a while. Today we sponsered a child through World Vision. We have both been talking about doing it for a while, but like too many things in life, we talked a lot and did nothing.
Last night I was in High Level after a long days driving and we were talking on MSN. So at last we just did it and found out everything. Then this morning we let the computer choose a little girl from Kenya and finally made our contribution. Its a good thing to do and you do feel a little better about yourself after doing it. Anyone out there thinking of doing it, don't just think about it, but do it!

Yesterday was a tough day actually with a 450km drive home and then straight back on the road for another 2.5 hours to another site. It was snowing and pelting freezing rain and the roads were not in the best shape. Most of the second trip was on dirt road, which got very slippery in places. Thank goodness for good winter tires, but I still had a few heart in my throat moments. I even resorted to 4x4 mode in the truck, something I try not to do . Going into 4x4 mode is like admitting you are a crap driver and can't handle the conditions. Enough said, but at least I got there and back safe and sound without putting any dents into the truck.

The pleasant South African winter like weather has broken and the mercury is diving for the floor again. -10 outside now. Funnily enough Wen-shu and I both feel quiet fine at -10 now and are waiting for something colder. There is a bit of snow around too, but not enough to really cover everything. Enough for Wen-shu to be digging the car out in the morning though, poor little thing!
