The start of my list

Today is the first day of my 101 things in 1001 days list and I missed it! I wanted to end the list on my birthday which is on the 18th of October and realised that I would then have to start on the 21st of Jan which is my sister's birthday. It's has to be a sign!!!
Well I forgot. My sister called my husband to remind me that it is her birthday. Lets hope that the other 1000 days are better :-)
Happy Birthday Ronel!

A better future for all


THE MYSTERY AUDI: This is the Audi R8 V10 "donated" by a mystery Cape Town businessman to two car guards "to help the needy".

The extraordinary gift, has piqued the interest of visitors to the mountain and the two men have been stopped several times by police who thought they must have stolen the gleaming black Audi R8.  Each time they were released because the businessman, a Capetonian who only bought the car in the city at Christmas, confirmed their bizarre story. He asked the car guards not to identify him.
