Well, I've been without my car for what feels like close to forever now and still not back in Coffee Bay. (I am planning on taking the bus back next week.) I am very grateful for the extra time that I'm having with my parents as a result of the delay.
Most of the Bosman men together, a rare occasion.

Apart from that, I was able to attend my grandmother's funeral in Hermanus together with the rest of my family on Tuesday. It was an enriching experience to be surrounded by so many of the people of my blood again for the first time in years.
Also I'm happy to have been a part of the celebration of my grandmother's life, remembering the strong, wise and loving kind of mother (and grandmother and great-grandmother) she used to be when she was still able to live her life as a free person before suffering a bad stroke some 12 years ago.
My grandmother just about 2 weeks before she died, meeting her youngest grandchild, Daniel.
