Rhenish Primary's first term ended today, and Mark had a partial day of school. He has a school break for a week and a half now.
Mark went to a dual birthday party with 18 other Grade 3 boys this afternoon. They went to the water park and Strand beach to slide and swim. Mark said the ocean water was freezing cold, but the water in the slides was warm.
Any water would have felt nice today: the high temperature in Stellenbosch was 36 °C, another scorching day.
Of course, the term breaks of CPUT (where I teach my refrigeration class) and Rhenish Primary are not coincident. We're planning to spend a few nights in Cape Town next weekend to celebrate. But, at this point, we can't do much more.
We learned today that Catherine's daycare does not have a scabies outbreak. The one child who supposedly had The Itch actually had bedbug bites (whatever that really is, I don't know). So, we're safe from scabies!
