A quick update. Saturday was quite busy, but on Sunday I got spoilt for Father's Day. I had bacon and poached eggs on toasted sesame bread, and was not allowed to wash any dishes! I then received a lovely set of whisky tumblers as a gift from the kids. At around 10am we travelled to Kings Park, as the Wild-Flower festival had begun. There was a concert in one of the parks and we even stumbled across the South African section inside Kings Park. Amazing how many memories we associated with the "Aalwyn" (African Aloe plant) and Strelitzia's! The cherry on top was when Karin bought me one of Ken Duncan's latest books. Just spectacular!
