Yesterday I was walking back from having lunch (I sat under a tree in the middle of a square, took off my shoes and read in french for a while). As I went along the street I heard a man yell 'Excuse me!' really loudly. I turned around and saw a street entertainer sat next to some bins, eating his lunch. For anyone not used to the 'entertainment' we ( Read more... )

So life goes on and I continue spending far too much time at work. Not had a day off for a couple of weeks and am therefore looking forwards to friday! It's a bit odd getting paid monthly though because I don't really feel like I am earning anything at all, I'm not used to it.

This entry is for Beth, who would attack me with finger puppets if I didn't write anything here anymore ( Read more... )

As per usual I am writing this in an effort to avoid doing my packing. I have no idea how I'm going to manage it other than vaguely hope that it will squash in if I get everyone to sit on my bag ( Read more... )

Seeing as yesterday was a pretty grey day we were once again forced to do a little shopping. Shame. It was pretty good though, because we went to Green Square market which has a whole truckload of curios... it makes me think of what shopping trips were like a couple of months back. Anyways it was a fun way to spend a couple of hours and the ( Read more... )

So the wind finally died down, I found my hat, and a quick check through the binoculars revealed that the cable car up Table Mountain had finally opened again ( Read more... )
