fokkol fokkol

On the subject of laughing you have got to check out Koos Kombuis. His Eskom song (link at top) rendered me helpless and his blog had me crying with laughter.

Appreciation of South Africa and knowledge of Afrikaans required. Put the kids to bed, skink vir jouself ‘n glasie wyn – of liewer iets bietjie sterker – and prepare to be transported.

Finding his site has completely cured me of my childhood resentment at having to learn Afrikaans. Thanks, Piet, for the pointer …

    oh what a beautiful sound
    at lunch today i sat while both my girls fed themselves blueberries and cheese slices. now for tea its blue barries veggie sausage rolls (jo) and marmite toast (for soph) . and now sophie is smacking her little lips as she eats.

    we have had a huge improvement in soph since we started bottle feeding her on mon – she is down to just 2 breastfeeds a day and is thriving, slept through 3 out of 4 nights (only about 10 times in her life!) and is so much more energetic. even her head seems to have changed shape and filled out -the poor child seems to have been hungry and thirsty for along time – thank god for miracles.

    gill you will be pleased to know she even stayed in a crawl position for a little while on her own8)
