DECEMBER 2021

Hello my darling,

Another year is coming to an end, and what a year it has been.

You passed grade 6 with being home for 3 terms with mom doing homeschool. You actually did really well. You have been back to school for the last term and you are much happier to be with your friends again. 

On the 10 of December you had your second 'booster' Covid Vaccination. 'Ouch'

Then a HUGE fright!  Alex, Sharon, Greg, Dennis, Rita, Gumpie and I all had covid in the middle of December!!   Fortunately we have all been double vaccinated so didn't have it badly.  I think Rita was most affected and Gumpie the least affected.  I was wpman-down for a night and day when I shivered, sweated, coughed and slept for 24 hours.  After that I felt better but we have all had lingering fatigue and find it challenging to do any chores for any length of time.

We moved Christmas to your house to have it outside and Dennis and Rita couldn't come beacuse they were still positive.

At last we have been able to get together for Christmas this year.

Your Mom suggested we buy you this book - a Guide to Everything

We tried to get into Hluhluwe Game Park for New Year but it was full  so we booked into the Anew Hotel in Hluhulwe town instead.  It is only 15 minutes from the Memorial Gate and we had a lovely rondavel in the grounds.  For the first time in many years, we saw a leaopard in Hluhluwe!

They had music at the pool and we spent New Year's eve watching you dancing!

This in one of the Cheetah we saw. 

You can tell by the dark tear marks under her eyes that she is a Cheetah and not a leaopard
