hello randoms, i just have a few minutes to update you on what's up in my life recently. first i'm leaving for durban today to do a week long trip to all our sites in the e cape. better than being in the office! anyway we're wnding up in EL on Fri to do a presentation to provincial govt and then the randoms are flying out and i'm spendig the weekend at home :) i am writing this while i wait for my clothes to dry as typically i left doing the washing til the last moment and am now surrounded by clothes on every surface as well as the floor trying to dry.
yesterday i went to cape aghulhas with margot and her friend jeff ( who it turns out is friends with cathicles!-small world) anyway i had to get up at 6 cos marget wanted to leave early so that wasn't really a problem. then we drove to hermanus and looked for some whales, they were not being whaleish (hahahah) and refused to surface for us. never the less we enjoyed a nice cup of tea before moving on to cape aghulas. we had to stop every few kms so that margot could take photos and this slowed down the process a bit! anyway we eventually arrived in aghulas and had to pay R17 to walk to the top of the lighthouse. it was quite a climb up old and slightly wonky wooden ladders. when we got to the top it was so windy i almost lost my sunglasses (which i purchased on friday at a 2nd hand place in wynberg) we took some cool pics which i will upload later. then we wondered around and had yummy fish and chips for lunch then tasted some wine next door and then left to come home. J and M wanted to do some rock climbing on the way back and i (NOT a rockclimber) was planning to watch. so we arrived at this place and i realised that the rock was not just on the side of the road and that we actually had to hike to get there. This did not bode well for my littlle woolies pumps (I really didn't think that out) about half way up it felt like my shoes were about to come apart which is when i decided to come down abit and watch from the bottom of the mountain. while i was waiting and watching(from very far away) I was planning next wkend in EL, the plan is something like this on friday whale with tan/cath and on sat whale with tan/cath (burger night?) admittedly not the most well laid out plans but by that stage i was tired and being abused by the wind. i tied my scarf around my head and must have looked like a muslim mountain goat crouched on a rock!!!! Two separate groups of ppl came past and both of them had dogs which barked at me! WTF?
anyway i really have to go now, ulrike's picking me up in 45min and i haven't even started packing yet...oops
later kids :)
