My previous post did not publish for some reason. Got it right now.
So today is Zuma's rape trial verdict. Personally I feel that I should follow it, because it may cause a HUGE swing in south african politics.
When one political party wins more than 70% of votes in a democracy the only way that the country will get a tight election is when that party divides. So if Zuma is found not guilty and decides to make his own political party, that will be *good* for south african politics. (as long as he does not win the next election)
Currently the verdict is not yet published.

Harry Laurie
Hey people (this post did not publish the first time somehow)
I took off friday and did very little other than magic this weekend. We did have a family meeting on monday, 1 May. It is sort of in memorial of my grandfather's birthday. His name was Harry Laurie.
Well... He was a great man. He had 7 children (of which the eldest is my dad).
He died in 1998, and still every year, his children and grandchildren gets together in his honor. I think what he did well was he taught everybody that family counts. He had to work hard to support a family that size, but he was a clever man and studied to become an actuary and eventually he could provide quite easily for his large family. His sense of humour was very witty and clever. He was someone who enjoyed a good wine, of which there was enough of at this gathering.
He taught me to value family and precious times higher than money. That money was only a means to an end.
