It is their Stanley Cup moment. Congratulations to South Africa for winning the Rugby World Cup. I couldn't help myself - I cheered England on (Tony was very quietly saying "Come On England" - one of us had to be vocal) but in the end South Africa played hard, wanted it more. However, if not for tricky television cameras - blast technology - England would have scored a try. Tony swapped shirts at the end of the night, and we're all still friends.
Had a very chill day yesterday, after an insanely early start at the de Wildt Cheetah sanctuary. Think cheetah and wild dog zoo. Not altogether exciting. The cheetahs are so lame they sit around waiting for their Iams to be delivered. I'd hate to think of them going back into the wild. It was not quite like seeing the animals up close on safari the way we did last year.
I have an insanely busy day today, including a visit to Soweto to see one of Cotlands' income-generating projects, lots of writing to do and tomorrow we're off to Cape Town for four days holiday, including two nights in the wine region. Before that, I'm interviewing Stephanie Nolen of the Globe and Mail, who also just made the short for the Governor General's Literay Awards, non-fiction, for her book 28: Stories of AIDS in Africa. It is brilliant - run out to the store and get it. Everyone should read this book.
