I was sad to read this morning that Nelson Mandela's great-granddaughter in a car crash. Zenani Mandela, who only turned 13 on 9th June, was killed on the way home from the Soweto concert celebrating g today's launch of the tournament, which is being held in Africa for the first time. She was one of the anti-apartheid leader's nine great-grandchildren. Very sad!!

Good to see that you areworking your way through your discussions now too, I can't believe how oldsome of mine are and just how neglectful I have been, some of them it is lovely reading back over, there is one whereI was hearinga child cry out in the night which was quite spooky and some of the response there were really interesting. Thanks for the BR, appreicated, guess we'll both have to break soon for the footie eh! Huggles. Ellie :D
