This work continues the theme of Book 40; the Moses Mabhida Stadium.  The text in this book is an extract from a diary entry of an unknown woman who drives her husband to and from work every day. It reflects the idle chit-chat of a couple who pass the stadium daily and records the observations made by the woman on 6th July 2009.  The photographs of the stadium were taken on 6th July and these small books now also act as a photographic documentation of the construction of this contentious new landmark.
