by the fire

yesterday began at vida e cafe at the waterfront, after being poked and prodded by pg until i eventually gave up trying to read in bed and took her down there to shop. once she was done, it was my turn - i went hunting for a cover for my kindle. after four or five shops, with only two of them providing solutions, i walked out determined to make my own and with an interesting idea in tow.

the four rather large guys lurking silently in the toilets made me uncomfortable enough to wait until i'd got home.

after an entrepreneurial chat with my mum, we hit rick's - one hyperviper + one aeroplane. we had fun, pg had one glass of wine too many. aeroplane and i swapped cds on our way out - he'd never listened to jefferson airplane before and i received an sms mid-dinner that he was well pleased ^_^

pg and i joined my mum and a couple of family friends at nona lina, the atmosphere, service and food were all a pleasure and the company was great. pg drank more but kept fairly quiet, i suspected my mom of having had a few too many when she openly discussed my 1999 uct experience with drugs openly - didn't see that coming :P

imagine was playing as we got ready to leave, and after mentioning that the a perfect circle cover does it for me i almost forgot which song was written for leary... but then i remembered.

we left the restaurant making plans to go up table mountain early saturday morning - i'm fairly certain these are the people to do it with :)

i put pg to bed early; i tried to sleep as well, but woke up from the marathon dream:
joining a marathon on rollerblades when they don't have anywhere to rent blades from until the last minute is not a good idea. then discovering [thank you, harry potter] that it's a magical marathon and oh, crap, we didn't think to bring any anti-jinx wear...

it was 1am and i woke up with my feet and ankles aching terribly. i went to bed about five hours later, still not really tired but having read quite a lot...
