Ronnies House, Durban

Today I just got to Durban from Botswana and I’ll be staying at my mum’s best friend’s house.  My mum’s best friend is called Ronnie.  

Ronnie has two kids, a boy and a girl.  The boy is 11 and called Matthew and the girl is nine and her name is Erin.  

They have two dogs, one is called Mojo who is only one but he is big.  And the other one is called Fergus who is kind of old and really fluffy. 

Picture
Erin has a really cool room.  She also has her own pet kitten named Google.  

Then Erin took us outside and showed us her grandparents house.  

At the grandparents house they also have two dogs one was called Sasha who is really fast and loves balls, she would do anything to get a ball.  

The other dog is a small dog that has fluffy ears who is also really old and doesn’t like kids so she growls at them and me too.

Picture
Erin's grand father is called Colin and Colin took Stan and I to the Beach.  The water was from the Indian Ocean.  The water was really warm.  Colin had brought Sasha too.  We also brought Sasha's ball and Colin threw it out really far to sea and Sasha swam, swam and swam to get the ball.  Then Stan threw it out to sea.  Sasha and I would have a race to get it but she wants her ball so much she goes fast to get it.  

After that Stan and me got to go snorkeling.  I had a pink snorkel and pink goggles because I am a girl.  Stan's goggles were blue and he had an orange and blue snorkel. Then we got dressed and then we drove back to Colin's house.  

Then Colin got the ball out of the trailer and he showed what Sasha would do in the freezing cold pool.  Stan, Colin and I all got a turn throwing it.  When I threw it, I threw it close to the edge accidentally and Sasha tried putting her paw into the pool and making it come closer to her but she made it go further away.  So then she had to jump in and get it.  When she got out of the pool she shook off all the water and she splashed me.  

Then Stan and I went back to the granny flat where we are staying and washed all the sand off.

Hi Meg!

You'll be fast asleep right now ZZzzz Zzzzz ZZZzzz Zzz, but it's the 10th of July where you are too, so this wee message is to wish you a most wonderfully & delightfully happy birthday!!!

Gran, Alistair, Dane, Jamie and I all think it is very exciting and very special to be having a birthday in South Africa and we think you're so lucky, especially since it is your 10th birthday - a double special birthday!

Gran doesn't have a computer, so she asked me to let you know she is thinking of you very much and sends all her love!

And here's another one of those....HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGGY!
I have sent you a text on Dad's phone too, but you can never have too many birthday messages so here it is again. I agree with Catriona, this must feel like a pretty special birthday and you will probably always remember where you were when you turned 10. And I always remember where I was when you were born, because I was in Mexico with Aunty Em and we learned the fantastic news that you had arrived when we phoned Phil from a phone box in a town square (or Zocalo) in a beautiful city named Taxco. Your Dad was very happy and excited, and we were too (and noisy!) I'm sure you can get the picture:-) Well, you were worth making a bit of noise about.
Have a super day, and write one of your fabulous blog entries about it soon.
Love you so much Meggy Moo, Ardie xx

Happy Birthday Beautiful Meggy Moo. It will be the night of your birthday now - maybe you're still celebrating... I hope you've had a wonderful day. This will be a birthday to remember! We can't wait to hear how you celebrated your day. I think a birthday that matches your age is always extra special. Lots of love and cuddles. xxxxxxx Eve and Paul

Hi Eve and Paul
My birthday was really fun. First when I woke up I was in my tent and I said "happy birthday Meg" then Stan said "oh yeah, happy birthday Meg" and then my friend Ammie came up with her older brother Mitch and Ammie gave me her presents which was a bag that Mum really loved. Then Bryce came up and I got the rest of my presents which was 2 suckers, a bracelet and a card. Ammie and Bryce couldn't put the bracelet on so Mitch had tried and he got it in a knot and then he undid it. then we went down the ladder and the adults started singing "happy birthday to Meg" and then I went to the restaurant to have breakfast with everyone and I had pan cakes, fruit salad and ice cream! Then Mum gave me her presents which was a pretty flower dress and a jewelry box shaped of Africa. Then after that she gave me a sarong (a dark blue one) that had elephants and giraffes on it and I also got a book and daddy gave me a Japanese golfing shirt. And I was going to go horse riding but the weather was bad so I got to go horse riding the next day which was fun because my horse was really high and I did cantering, walking and trotting on the beach. Cantering was really fun. Daddy nearly fell off his horse because his stirrup came off.

Love you, bye, bye MEGGY!

Hi Pottu (hehe)
Sorry we ate all the cake, it was just so yummy. On the cake there were little lolly pops. They were all caramel flavoured except for one that I had. It was pink. I got to cut the cake and I got the biggest piece and Stan really wanted the biggest piece. They were all basically the same size.

Love you. Say hi to Ronnie and Nel for me. Love from MEGGY!
