Allow me a little self indulgence here:
The Longhair and I had a little celebration today after Philip received notification that he had passed his BCom Accounting Honours.

A sad day too as Philip leaves the family home next year to start articles at EY in Johannesburg.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
