Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is usually the husband. When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But somehow I always had something else to take care of first: the truck, the car, e-mail, fishing, always something more important to me.

Abigail – An update
We just came from the doctor for the 32 week scan. Abigail is growing and healthy. She is now 2kg, which is exactly the weight she should be. And according to the scan, the due date is now back to the 1st of Feb. I'll update the post with the scan pic later.

An interesting view on tax – which I can almost agree with
Lindani Gumede writes on News24 that we should scrap the current PAYE (Pay as you earn) tax system for a Pay as you can tax system. Where people pay more or less tax based on their circumstances instead of the size of their salary. So if you have fewer basic services, like people living in rural areas vs people living in cities, you pay less. If you can prove that you're doing enough for your kids not to be a burden on the state later, you pay less tax now.
