Last week I didn't write dear besivelelwe isifo . one of our relatives Don Mtimkulu's uncle got an accident from a horse , he was fetched by the Rev gentleman and after an operation, he passed away . It was real chocking news A tame old horse it was, but it lost balance and fell on getting up it hit him on the diaphragm. I made a beautiful wreath of flowers for him. Did you know that I was a specialist at making wreaths ? When we retire I shall make it a paying business and plant a lot of flowers, and make them for sale. lo mngani wako wazi zonke izinto Dan I have been inquiring about my short hand book its not there every body had a hand in my books and all the valuable ones are gone, ngiyabona babeti ofike ngifele kona kwa kumalo.
