Andrew and I have been married for six months today. Time doesn’t fly – it feels like six years already. KIDDING!…… Or am I? Love you, my light.

I was rear-ended by two cars in town the other day. Car accidents are the worst. Luckily I was unharmed, and my car has only a crack and a couple of scratches… but still. Whiplash, insurance claims, police statements, ADMIN. I am not good at admin.

My colleague returns on Monday from her four week trip to Australia. I cannot wait to have her back for coffee and chats in the morning and general fun in the office. Also, she really is good at that admin stuff mentioned above. Mands, sorry in advance for the crap pile on your desk.

Our water pump on the farm is officially broken, which means no water until Monday evening while we wait for the parts from Johannesburg to arrive. Rhodes University and Grahamstown is also currently struggling with water issues, though I think there’s may be more due to badly managed municipalities than broken pumps. Sort your shit out EC.

This blog post has gone viral, especially in America. Peeps are sharing it left right and centre – thank you. I know Facebook is losing a bit of merit at the moment (especially with their introduction of hashtags and trending – I mean, can someone smell a copy RAT??) but we still need to appreciate the massive sharing capabilities of the Facebizzle timeline. Thank you for spreading the word.

Speaking of THAT blog post, I eventually found the C. Warnke who write that beautiful passage. He in on Twitter and Tumblr and check, check guys: he replied to my message with DANKIE! What a legend. I wonder if he has any South African blood in him or just knows how to use google translate. Either way, I’m impressed.

Have dealt with some really rude people this week at work and on the interwebs. Makes you just want to smash something (or them. In the face. With a chainsaw). But I just breathe. And do Yoga.

I reached 700 followers on Twitter this week (hi to all my new American readers and followers – hope you enjoy my little piece of South Africa – you should totally come visit our country and bring your dollas with you :D seriously.) and I’ve also met some of my readers in real life too! It’s so nice to have people you’ve never met before recognize you and come up and tell you that they enjoy reading your ramblings. You guys make my earth rotate. Thank you!!!!!

I ordered my first laptop. Which I will pay for by myself, through a debit order with FNB every month. Yoh, I am GROWING UP. I also paid for my first car service this month. That was slightly more painful than ordering the laptop. I can’t wait to write and create on this thing of beauty. And yes, it’s a MacBook. After this purchase, I will have officially MacApple’d my life.

Also, just to let you know that it’s CHEAPER to order a tablet, phone or computer through FNB and pay it off over 24 months interest-free than buying it from the shop. Believe me, I did my research. It was cheaper even than my mom-in-law buying it in England and bringing it over for me next month. So, if you’re not with FNB, you should be.

This weekend I have no plans other than a massage with Colleen at Midlands House of Healing and my flower girl’s fourth birthday party. There will be lots of reading, relaxing, sleeping, walking, and of course, yoga. Have a great one my lovelies!

With love xxx
