Pretty exciting day, what with collecting a parcel of goodies ordered from the UK, from the docks. They whacked a hefty 20% customs duty on most of our goods which was disappointing, but no matter – you live and learn. Part of the parcel was my birthday present so Nick took those items away and wrapped them, making me wait until Sunday! We had done some school before leaving for the docks at 10 am, and then finished off when we got home. Nick did the maths while I made hamburgers for lunch, then I did the read-aloud, and Nick finished off with the science. Nick had another meeting with the lawyer in the afternoon, to discuss the way forward with legal action regarding a government payout for compensation for the rockfall. I dropped Nick off at his appointment at the buildings at the top of Ladder Hill, took a few photos while the boys tried to make a dam in the gulley, then drove down with the boys to town, where we had some shopping to do. 
Nick walked down the ladder and found us in town, although he suffered quite severely as a result! Being out of practice, he found it very taxing on his knees and leg muscles. We hung around in town for another short while, killing time until 5 pm where we had a supper engagement with Ronnie and Verona – the couple from Grassy Parks Baptist Church in Cape Town who came to the island to encourage us. They are a super couple, full of the Lord, who sadly are leaving on the ship on Sunday.
