Dad (Julian) Hope you get internet access today so we can read your next installment. The Olympics have been spectacular at times and the atmospbere in the venues is amazing. The cyclists and rowers hitting the medal trail with surprise medals in mens gymnastics, canoeing and shooting. Jess Ennis staDad (Julian)rted well and leads after first day of heptathlon. Andy Murray going for gold against Federer so guaranteed a silver. Liverpool won first game away in Europe (Downing scored only goal). Aquilani gone to Italy, Agger wanted by Man City and Barca, Joe Cole injured again, but we are trying to get Joe Allen and Gaston Ramirez once olympics finished and looking at Butland as back up keeper. Arsenal been busy buying players but haven' t sold RVP yet. Man U and Man City quiet. Chelsea been busy too. Will let you know if we buy anyone before you get back.

Dad (Julian) Wanted to know more about where you are staying in Thanda so Googled it and thought wow! What an amazing, luxurious resort! Realised I was on tourist website and not volunteer site so looked properly this time. Still looks amazing. Makes me want to go there as a volunteer too. Won't cramp your style though (this time ha ha). Sure you will have a brilliant time and meet some very interesting people and see some incredible animals and scenery. Will try and keep you posted on the transfer front via this blog. By the way did you tell anyone else you were doing a blog or am I the only one commenting? I am improving my maths skills each time I post a comment ha ha. Looking forward to reading the next installment when you are able to post it. Hopefully will be able to read comments from others too
