My beautiful Byron,

Monday finds me in Johannesburg. After breakfast I will head over to Yaya and meeting a doctor there.
Lucky for me I can write online to you. Last time I was here and I sent you a hard copy letter, they charged me $60 for delivery to England. There is a lot of crime in Johannesburg, and that means people steal letters. So you have to pay a premium price to have them guaranteed delivery. $60 for a letter? Tht’s what it cost writing to you in my visit in November 2018. I still never missed one Monday or Thursday though. And I am really enjoying being able to write like this, online, without having to pay ¢60 to a crooked postman and not even knowing if you would receive my letters. This way, I know when I write to you there is a chance you will see it.

While I am here, I am coaching Anna in tennis. I have known Anna since she was born and we have a lovely time together.
