And so the 2012 school year started... the sewer rat had to take some blue cheese to school (her "pet")

 

Aleza, the sewer rat, goes to grade 8!

The sewer rats have noses - at least 20 cm long - did you know that?

Martin, Henriette and I together with the children watched the recent Bridal Expo where Sareez also modelled, which took place at the Windhoek Country Club.  We enjoyed it so much that Henriette and I went for a second time to watch the whole show!
