On Saturday afternoon, Joff and Megan were hosting a braii at Orbi's white house at Hole in the Wall so I made my way there on foot. It's a great walk, especially when you come to the top of a giant hill and see the Hole down below you :D It took just less than an hour to get to the H.I.T.W beach then I slowly wandered along the road to the white house.

I was quite late because I walked so there was an enormous group of people there already: Megan, Joff, Joff's parents, the Le Rouxs, the Gaunts, Sarah, Bernard and some friends, Rob [our new medical student], his friend Euan, Jess, Karl's brother and Liz, her mum and her sister. We had a braai and I spent most of the time entertaining the Emma, Josh and Grace by playing a marathon game of hide and seek which mainly involved running around the garden and having mud thrown at me, fun times! :D
In the evening we played one of the most hilarious games of 30 seconds yet, then went up to Orbi's main house to watch the Stormers play the Sharks in the Super 14. With half of those watching supporting each team it was an enjoyable game to watch, especially with the legendary Karl Le Roux excitement reaching new heights. Sadly for Karl, the Sharks completely dominated the match but the Stormers held on valiantly to keep the score at 21-14 [or something like that!].
The next day I spent the morning washing all my clothes and then Sam and I watched a few episodes of Army wives. We had just finished making some bread dough for homemade pizza when another wonderful power cut came our way. Luckily, Liz invited us over to braai with her mum and sister so we decided we would make our bread on the fire, but by the time we actually arrived at her house, the power was back on so we just used the oven.
The power cuts continued all night but the Gatleys showed their braai skills and we had a lovely dinner :D Lisa arrived back from leave too and had acquired a copy of the Zithulele hospital promo video which makes everything here look so epic [think those videos they have on Comic Relief to make you donate] – it's getting put on the Zithulele website soon so when it is I'll post a link.
When we got back to our rondavel the power supply seemed to have temporarily stabilised so we settled down the final episode of Army Wives [which was NOT cool due to an extreme cliff hanger], then went to bed, weekend over.
