Mondays are p-days and often this means we just kind of spend the day cleaning the flat, catching up with blog posts – which is what I am doing now a week later – and occasionally going out for lunch or dinner. Today we went to Mugg and Bean at the Moori River mall. We tried to go to Spurs but they were close for renovations. We sat near an outside window that had this view of the Moori River that actually runs under the restaurant and mall. Unfortunately the food was not as good as the view which is unusual for Mugg and Bean.

Tuesday we out visiting when we came across this advertisement for modular houses. We see these all over the area and I thought I would take pictures of the display and the prices. I do not know if the $600 US gets you a three room house, foundation, roof, windows and doors or just the main pre-fab parts for the walls. I also do not know if it includes the construction. However in any case the finished product would probably look better that this basic home that are found all over the township and it’s extension. They also are found in the middle of large cities like Durban where we saw a whole hillside of them right across the freeway from a beautiful new upscale shopping mall.

When I am working at the computer I often have the Tembe Elephant webcam going and it is always a treat to find giraffes visiting the water hole. Watching one do the splits so it can drink is fun – can you find the giraffe in the picture on the right? 

Thursday is Seminary and Activity time for the youth and Mary is in charge. The YM and YW presidents should be in attendance but they choose not to come so Mary and I – but mostly Mary – does the activity night. Here they are playing Book of Mormon bingo. Now that we are using beans instead of small marshmallows it is not as much fun or nearly as tasty. But we do have treats for them at the end of the activity.
