late much?

to all my followers, i apologise profusely for my delay in blogging.

my excuse? i guess i don't really have one. i got back on the 28th of december and from there i could've blogged but i didn't. now that i work it out, i've only been back for 8 days-it's not THAT bad.

i went away up the coast for about 4 weeks and bad weather followed us everywhere. i managed to get 2 full beach days in. sad but now that i'm back in the cape, this heat wave isn't helping and i'd somewhat be happy to go back to the rainy, misty days in december 2010. i really do miss it all.

(time for a fresh start)

but christmas was good. different with my grandfather not there but i guess the puppy my mom decided to get filled that gap a little. it's the cutest little munchkin on this earth.

say hi :)

and new years, well that too was a jam. i was just glad to come back to cape town for one new years and so seeing everyone was lovely. it was much quieter than expected but nonetheless, entertaining. paddy and dan kept the party alive and then by the time we got to muzinberg beach, i think everyone sobered up from the cold and to top it all off, we went to sleep with the thunderstorms belting down. it was beautiful.

nice one matt

(yes, i used your real name)

so that's my short little re-cap of december for you. i could tell you much more but it's very long-winded so rather go see the pictures i put up on facebook. much easier :)

(my internet is being gay and won't let me upload any of my photos so you'll just have to see facebook)

a stunner*

wow. words can't even describe what i felt last night.


it was the perfect evening.

vickismith. thank you. the whole evening spent on the coolest invention EVER-a trampoline. talking rubbish about sims, website logos, sport cars and hyper cars. small minds being amused by small things like cups and bowls. learning more about some people. and helping one another. having tickling attacks. finding peoples weak spots. realising that there's more going on than we think. BUT we were all with one another-on this little trampoline. and it was all i needed.

(i book the trampoline on newyears vickismith)

                we then proceeded on a spontaneous trip with whoever was left at the house.
                                             the sounds of michael buble at 22:00
                             while travelling amongst the city lights on boyes drive.

arriving at the harbour. fisherman all out catching their daily fish. dedication i tell you.

the long walk down the promenade. vicki and glenn getting that adrenaline rush as you look down in the dark empty sea wondering "what if?".

          we lay there.

                   on the edge of the promenade. all our feet hanging off.

                      the dark sea below us rushing against the harbour walls.

             we all lay there.

thoughts rushing through every mind. and talking COMPLETE rubbish-

i can't even remember what it was about.

but it was full of laughter.



it's what i needed. and to make it even better, it began to rain. and we all lay there in the rain (me being on the end so having to shelter everyone). but we didn't care. we lay there. put our hoodies and scarves around our heads and waited for the storm to pass.

and it did. it left a "foggy london town" look afterwards. and it was beautiful.

it quite honestly is my new favourite place. so what if i was sick and potentially worsened my condition being in the rain and all (while wearing shorts). it was worth every minute. i needed it.

it was perfect.
