We had joy, we had fun, we did admin in the sun

After intensive bureaucracy wrangling, we now have the following:

• Polish temporary passport, required for Iza to leave SA and enter UK, valid for 3 months without restrictions.
• South African temporary passport, required for me to leave SA, valid for 12 months without restrictions.
• British temporary passport, required for me to enter UK, usable only

Another shitty day in paradise? ;)

[egadfly]

No, that was the good day in paradise.

The shitty day came a few days later when we were attacked by armed muggers who stole most of our valuables before I chased them off. But actually that was pretty good too, because stuff is merely stuff and the two of us were essentially unhurt.

Then we went back to enjoying paradise :)

I'm so glad you were unhurt. I'm so glad you are survivors, rather than victims. So much less disempowering. Have a brilliant 2012.

I'm really glad about those too! Thank you for saying so :)

Of course, in one sense we were victims. But the survivor aspect was so much more important.

A warm and wonderful 2012 to you and yours x
