South Africans party with the Queen

The most (only) exciting thing that happened today, and this is relative to the complete lack of anything else that happened, is that we received an invitation along the lines of “On the Occasion of the Official Celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s 80th Birthday, the Governor invites Mr and Mrs Nicholas Clevely to a Garden Party at Plantation House.” Nick groaned but I’m quite excited! It’s on Saturday the 17th June in the afternoon, so there’s nothing really stopping us from going.
