Woke up lateish again :-). Picked up Nicollette and went to the house Jane was housesitting. Parked our car inside the property this time since we know what happened last time.

Munched snacky things, watched some cricket on TV, lounged around the swimming pool. Went out to looking for a store that was open to purchase some more foodstuffs to make our braai. Had to go to a few different stores looking for what we needed. Eventully got it all. Came back, cooked lots of meat on the braai, including a leg of lamb :-). Ate lunner (lunch+dinner) around 7pm.

Went to the video store to look for a movie, we wanted to get the new Leon Schuster film, "Mr. Bones", on DVD, but all the DVDs were out so we had to settle for VHS. I think the quality of his work has gone down. This latest one is very slapstick, and not the original incredibly funny stuff he used to do.

Had some nice chocolate ice-cream after that, and went home, dropping Nicollette off on the way.

South Africa doesn't do boxing day sales or anything like that. That stuff picks up in January of the new year instead. Boxing day is usually just used to recover from the effects of Christmas day, eating less food than usual to counteract things.
