According to
TripIt, where I log all my flights for easy reference, Friday's flight back to South Africa was my 60th flight this year!
Miekie is impressed with the queen-sized bed that she now has in her room. Marisa bought some new cushions and a new duvet cover for her.

I got up at 4:30 on Saturday morning to have a look at Venus, Jupiter and Mars, who are all with 5 degrees of each other. I'd hope to spot some meteors from the
Orionids meteor shower, but the peak time has passed and the air was a little hazy. So after waiting around for 15 minutes I crept back into bed. I'll try again on Monday morning!

On Saturday morning Alexander and I went to have blood samples taken at the Centurion
SANBS. We're having tests done to see if we're a match for Andrew Melck who is in need of bone marrow. He's currently undergoing chemotherapy for leukaemia.

Well done guys, our immediate family misses the cut on being too old or too young. We do hope there is a successful match soon.
