Two years ago we woke up in a changed world where a virus announced its imminent destruction.
Measures are slacking down but we stand at nearly 100 000 Covid deaths and Kia still vows to keep me safe from the infected world!
In the meantine my grandchildren are growing like beanstalks...

The arrival of Ben in Portugal
Monday, March 7.
The Russian invasion in Ukraine started, the Covid death stats in SA reached 99 000 and my 4th grandchild Benjamin Wegner was born in Viseu, Central Portugal on 27 February.
What a blessing from the Lord and the assistance of Google Maps and Google translate.
Ilan and Ben on 4 March.
Jana did so well under difficult circumstances.

Visiting seceral African States and dancing without his mask did not auger well for our Prez. He is in isolation after the service for FW de Klerk in Cape Town.
I turned 75 on Friday. Still has to sink in... The airfryer my children gifted me will surely keep on reminding me that I was born three-quarters of a century ago!
Emile and family left SA on 29 November after a marathon struggle to get their Portugese visas and the Omicron scare that grounded international flights.
They have completed their quarentine period today.
