Christmas Play

Here is the video of the British International School of Stavanger's production of "The Very Bossy King", starring Sidney as a sheep. She was one of the servants, but tended to wander a bit too much, so she was changed to a part where she had to sit still. Notice at about 11 minutes into the video, Sidney falls over into the kid's lap beside her because she was swaying too much.



This is our first attempt at a video posting on the blog, so hopefully it will work okay.

Kimber was in London, so she could not attend the play. She should be getting back any minute now.

We are getting ready for our big Christmas trip to South Africa. We will be spending most of the time with Bill, Regina and the kids in Pretoria, but we added a trip to Cape Town in at the last minute. Many of our friends and colleagues here that are from South Africa highly recommended it, so we researched the side trip and opted for two nights in Simon's Town. One of the highlights of the area is Boulder Beach, home to a colony of African penguins! We may also get to see some whales in the area, though the season for the big ones usually goes through November.

The highs in Stavanger are going to be below freezing just after we leave, and the highs in Johannesburg are going to be around 82 F. We will think about all of you suffering through winter in the northern hemisphere!
