The first day of Spring

First a few updates. So my fiancée’s mother went back to the traffic department on Monday to get her name cleared, but was once again told that they could not help her (this was now trip number four!). So she shoved the paperwork into the attendants’ hands and said “sort it out yourself, I’m not coming back for this”. My finger is still stuffed. I have called the doctor to make an appointment to go and see the specialist . Sterkinekor did phone back. I have the managers’ number and can call her to arrange some free tickets when I am next in mood for a movie.

We went to Cape Point Nature Reserve on Sunday and did the walk up to Kanonkop. We started down at Booi se Skerm and followed the path up to Kanonkop which the circles back down to the parking area again. It is a very easy and scenic walk. It was slightly overcast when we started but quickly cleared up turning into an absolutely stunning day. Afterwards we went to the point to take some pictures. I have uploaded them to the Gallery.

We also went to the information centre and obtained some wild cards. This costs R45 and allows you 12 entries into a certain number of national parks around the cape peninsula. What was very cool about this is that they refunded the R45 we paid to get in to be used to purchase the card, which costs R45. The only catch in this whole deal is you need proof of address, who walks around with a utility bill in their back pocket? Really!

Our landlord is now thinking of selling the flat. The rental agency called me a few weeks ago to offer me the unit, but I declined. Last week we came home to find estate agents waiting at our front door. “Can we please come in, if it’s not too much of an inconvenience?”, what does one do in this situation? So armed with digital camera they storm they unit, “mind if we take a quick walk through the place?”. On second thought I should have sent them packing. Sometimes I’m just to accommodating. They have assured us we won’t be kicked out when the unit gets sold, but I’ve heard that one before. I do NOT want to move any time soon.

Glorious news! Alphamanbeast will be in Cape Town in November for a quick visit. Also our Kontiki depature date is getting nearer. Just 3 and a half months till we fly. I can’t wait!

Oh and it’s now officially spring. Befok!
