another lekker chris-miss?

visiting dirk diggler's - he's got a really nice pad in the middle of town, we sat around talking shit for ages, which was a lot of fun.
he's becoming a welder: i'm really happy he's found something he enjoys doing, and his stories are hell of an amusing :)

nando's - hot is HOT ^_^
israeli nando's just don't know what's up. we had a good meal, and then headed out to long street.

on the way there - something clicked! i'm in cape town! the feeling of stress dropping off my shoulders and flowing out of my chest was almost palpable... i just feel goood here.

orchard bank: great tunes and good vibe; but we had no energy, so we returned to the car and went home. damn faders.

24.12

i got glorious sleep-time; didn't do so much good for my back (couch pillows on the floor), but i woke up feeling seriously refreshed.

my mom organized me a solid breakfast, and the first hours of after waking were wasted assing around and "making plans". uh, huh. very serious plans :P

my sister arrived, we had a very serious family chat revolving around my brother... he's a real asshole. he's staying next door, and i can't be bothered to get in touch with him. when you're unpleasant to be around, mean and swindly, and you talk a lot of shit... well, don't expect tons of people clamouring for your attention.

we found a great parking at clifton, and enjoyed a chilled beach day with many friendly encounters, and even a little talent. i miss scrabbling over rocks, and i psychologically i really needed the freezing-cold water and to scrunch proper sand between my toes.

we came past call-a-pizza - great pizza! AWESOME trance! we came back home, and waited for a delivery, and once that was done i hit the shower and we were on our way to SxS's family for supper.

supper was nice - a decent braai, and some amusing banter. i don't click with the jo'burg crew, though, but it was alright. afterwards, we scrapped all plans to come home and fall asleep.

25.12

we woke up relatively early today to go play golf. i was a little irritable when we got there - i didn't know what was going on and i felt out of place, but once we began racing around the course on the golf cart (those things rock!), with both my mom and SxS playing fun-to-watch games, i was thoroughly enjoying myself; fresh air, beautiful scenery... all is good! cape town is sooooooo pretty!

we went to camps bay for sundowners; opium was short-staffed and didn't have anything we actually wanted. but there was amstel, and the girl working the door was stunning, so we could deal with it. oh, and the sunset was pretty too.

i met up with hyperviper and noddie at the waterfront. it would've been nice if someone had told me beforehand that the waterfront's being renovated - and christmas is an EXCELLENT time for that.
we went to mitchell's after cantina tequila closed, and that is one seriously dodgy place.

i was happy to find my mom's car when i got back (i felt like i'd parked in gangster-land when i saw the people lurking around on my way in), and i arrived home about five seconds before SxS did - he'd spent some of his casino winnings on sweets, and i overdid the chocolate on top of two and a half pints; i was completely wasted and only managed to move into bed around 5am.
