Tony Linden was responsible for the IT infrastructure team within the company until he left us at the end of 2005. It as great to read in the local newspaper that he appears to be doing well after he left us!

According to an article in the daily dispatch, Tony won a car worth 290 000 Rand (42 000 USD/ 31 000 Euro) for a video he took about a wasp protecting her nest from the rain.  Tony has always shown interest in photography and it is great to see that he managed to win a prestegious prize with his hobby!

Well done, Tony!

What a fabulous weekend … nice and warm (27-30 degrees Celcius/80-85 Fahrenheit), sunny and the pool is warm. It has taken us a while to get here, but it finally appears to be summer! We spent a while in the pool yesterday as it was so nice and may go to the beach later today. South Africa IS a nice place to live!

The odd thing is, when you go in the stores you hear Christmas Charols, see inflated Father Christmas´s and notice Christmas decorations all over the place. This seems so wrong for the time of the year, especially if you see sleighs, christmas trees with socks hanging from them and pictures of snow. I guess we will get used to it eventually!

It would seem that we have been transported back to the Northern Hemisphere … The last few days (and the next few days by the weather predictions) have been cold (15-18 degrees Celcius/60-65 degrees Fahrenheit) and rainy. A bit like a typical November day in Belgium, except that I have been told the weather there has been very nice the last few days.

It is supposed to be almost summer here, and last year we were swimming in the pool about every day at this time of the year! Not that we didn´t need the rain as we have been having many veldfires lately, but still …

What do you do on a miserable day like that in East London? You go shopping and go to the movies (together with everyone else). We went and saw Flightplan with Jodie Foster. The movie had an interesting plot about a woman who looses her husband and transports his coffin back on a plane together with her daughter. On the plane, the daughter disappears completely and nobody appears to have seen her. The movie had some interesting twists, but overall the movie didn´t make that much sense. A good movie for a rainy November afternoon, but not much more than that!

Summer must be coming up … today I managed to swim for the first time this summer. The water temperature was 22 C (72 F), which is not that warm, but warm enough for a short dip in the pool. It was lovely! Cann´t wait for the warmer weather!

In the next few days, temperatures will be in the lower 30 C (86 F)´s so we may be able to do some more swimming. Usually, the weather gets cloudy and cool in the afternoon, though, so it may not be combinable with work.
