Bring it, 2012

Happy 2012!

I shall divide the past few weeks into the good and less-than-good that has transpired, for yo’ readin’ pleasure.

The Good:

- Went to Cape Town. Beach, food, wine, friends, the best weather I’ve ever seen in CT in December … yes, it was a grand time. You will notice the fabulous job my sibling and I did trying to patch up a car window which took it upon itself to fall down inside the door.  Owing to all the public holidays, no garage workshops were open and until my pal’s handy husband managed to fix it, this was what we came up with. Should have seen the looks we got pulling into the 12 Apostles hotel in that wreck.

 

- Finished reading A Game of Thrones and thought it was quite fabulous, in a raw-heart-eating, war-obsessed fantasy kinda way. Have the next nearly 1000-page tome in the Songs of Ice and Fire series weighing down my bedside table, ready for me to attack once I’ve recovered from the intensity of AGoT by finally reading ‘Blood Safari’ by Deon Meyer.

The Less-than-good

- Have returned to work just as reluctant to get stuck in as I was prior to my holiday.

- I have a new neighbour across from my apartment who has an infant.

Sigh.

Bring back the young fool who used to play ‘Hotel California’ on his guitar endlessly, while trying to warble out the lyrics … all is forgiven.

- My mother is moving house, and unless we can somehow get her a month-long rental somewhere before her new abode is ready, she is moving in with me. Which actually means that I will be vacating my *own* flat and moving in with my sister for that month. My place is not big enough for family squabbles.
