We said goodbye to my sister and brother in law this morning, they're off to Durban for the next week and a half. They arrived safe and sound on Thursday - and it's been an absolute blast having them with us for the past few days. They've been out and about quite a bit, catching up with friends, and going to a family friend of ours' wedding, so they left us enough time to get some studying done. I'm afraid to say I didn't use that time too wisely, so I'll be cramming now for this week's exams.

We learned some sad news this morning. Our neighbours are planning on selling their flat and moving, which means that Tupac and her two puppies (now full-grown) will be moving too. Our overseas plans meant that parting ways with the mutts was an inevitability, but it's still a little heart-breaking to consider that the parting might happen sooner than we expected.

On the exams front, Ronwen's been acing her exams, too. Talk about enterprising: apart from having been way more diligent than I've been the whole year through, her exam strategy also includes phoning up the lecturers for each subject and asking them whether there are any sections of the syllabus she should "focus" on. And without fail they tell her! Well, I suppose if you don't ask, you'll never know...
