Seals and Penguins

14th September

Yesterdy we did not stick to our normal routine, instead we walked to the beach. We saw a restaurant called Y-Knot and walked in, but it did not open until 11:30am so we walked on. We saw the German monument and went to the aquarium and saw seals wave and salute like a navy seal.

I learnt that seals are very smart and we found ourselves laughing at the trainer because he had no control over them.

We watched them feed the penguins then went to a restaurant Guido's and walked home.

Birthdays!

2nd September

Today is my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday, have a great day Amy!

This weekend was very exciting we had 2 visitors. They got on the boat with no hassles and we spoke and fished and enjoyed our time. My mom made Millionaire's shortbread...sounds expensive!

4th September

We started yesterday by fixing the broken geyser which had been broken for years. We opened it, everything worked except there was no flame. We changed the batteries and we get a flame. Then my mom cooks lunch and we eat  and try the geyser again. No flame again!
At this point we are on the verge of ripping the geyser out, along with the toilets and tossing them overboard. but with our luck the water will be too shallow and only waist deep.

We give up with the geyser and my dad has a drink instead. I decide I am hungry and try to cook, no flame on the stove.Then it hits us, we have no gas. We swop the gas bottle and and my mom checks the water. "It's hot!" she says, I lift u my foot in joy and my foot get caught under the chair and it catches my heel. I jump about in pain. My dad doesn't realise I have caught my foot and keeps telling me to calm down...having hot water is not that exciting.

5th September

This morning when we woke up there were dolphins playing in the harbour around our boat. I tried to go see and headed for the door. Rauen stood in the way and leant back as I tried to forward and blocked me from getting outside. I got mad nd squeezed past him. Then everyone said I was in a bad mood today...I did not even reply.

The day went passed quickly and near the end of the day my mom saw something in the water. We rushed outside to see and it was a seal! My first seal! He played in the water for a long time and finally left.

9th September

We went to Doreen's house, I played laptop and found out Doreen's birthday is lso on the 7th of April same as mine!

Toilet trouble!

26th August

Here I am hiding in a corner!
It all started when we started servicing the toilets. Once we got them reinstalled we tested them and they worked fine. I had to go to the toilet and when I was done it did not work. My dad fixed it again and then tested it, my mom tested it and then my dad asked me how I put toilet paper in the toilet. I say "I get 2 squares, fold and fold," My dad says:"No, only fold once and then flush it." He throws a piece in the toilet and fllushes it and it does not go down. He flushes again and again and the same thing happens. He has fumes coming out of his ears and he curses. I ran away because I wanted to laugh but my dad would kill me.

Next Rauen goes to the bathroom it works all good and fine. Rauen goes later to the bathroom and it does not work!Rauen and my dad must remove the pipes. So there I was in my corner and I heard the poof...Aah man! then Rauen comes running with disgusting water.

I am glad I am sitting int he corner for 2 reasons:
1. So I don't have to see it.
2. If it splashes on me I am going to grow 73 fingers and 81 toes.

When my dad gets upstairs he is as mad as a hornet. but at least he had ideas that made me laugh and laugh.

On Monday we went for a shower and get my dad's book. We also went shoping at Greenfel's Pick 'n Pay. I sat at the entrance because I was tired after walking all the way and people walked past giving me the stupid eyes. The eyes that say "Are you a stupid?"
I did not care and when my mom was done we walked tot he bottle store.
While my parents were inside a man asked us :Are you tired?"
I answered: "Yes" and he left.
My parents came back and the same man asked them:"Are you waiting for someone?"
We answered:"No"
He said: "I'll sort you out!" and he got the store manager to drive us back to the boat.

28th August
