A night of ABBA

Barely two or three weeks in the country and there I got the call:"Do you want to go with?" Of course, I said yes. my friend, Desiree offered me a ticket to see "Mamma Mia". It was a musical,slash, love story, set around the famous ABBA tunes. The singers and actors were fantastic,from the UK. I could see no wrong.The story was sweet and touching. The cherry on top,was the totally glam, shiny silver and gold-respectively- one piece outfits.(Think Elvis) and the amazing silver knee-high platform boots! Geez, imagine how many people you could kick and not hurt your foot. What a wonderful night.
meanwhile, this thing did take long..so wait for the African edition.. in a day.

my dear friend Desiree...looking fabulous. 

Moi, paix. 

Yeah,yeah...

Let's pretend that I posted something yesterday and leave it at that..thanks to those guys and dolls that have peeped in.

Thinking of just starting a new blog...call it the African edition.
Must have changed my mind a thousand times in the last three months with regard to everything.
It was great to talk to Karen on Skype..although there was a DEE-lay that took forever, still.. we spoke. It was wonderful to talk to Matt also.I read that poor Yoshi is being trained again.

Meanwhile, I have photo's of the past weekend's activities and other pics. Laughed so much at the Comedy Festival and went whale watching the next day-Glorious weather too. Earlier this month we went to a Korean restaurant. I've been through many bottles of chilli sauce...only one came close to my satisfaction. Might be losing it with the chillies and not to mention the red wine.
Tell you again.

The Motherland

I won't bore you with the travel details of how long the flight took,etc...
One thing I will mention is that my guitar case had a 2-3cm cut in it..like it was thrown.
I was mad about that, but a close friend said, the case is there to protect the guitar-so it's ok.

Things have been weird, strange.I've been home for just over a week,seen some friends,see the family everyday.I was invited to see the "Mamma Mia" show on Saturday evening with my friend, Desiree, who provided the tickets. The show was amazing.
I'm seeing some friends who have been with me in Korea and that in itself is surreal.
Cravings for spicy food is high...planning to make a stop at the Korean store in Cape Town...to stock up on whatever there is.Might have to beg some people back in the land to send a box of goodies.
Otherwise, all things considered...I'm doing ok. Taking things slowly and going one day at a time.
Miss a lot of people and Cutey. I get the "So how does it feel to be back?" question a lot...(including " where are you from?")..I have a hard time answering that question..how does one feel? to be honest, I have no idea.
I feel happy to see gardens, Table mountain, listen to people speaking many languages.Confused, at the tv programs that have English subtitles and Xhosa, Afrikaans or some other African language in that one program. Stunned by the cost of things. Aware of the crime in the country. Surprised at the need to control and conserve electricity.(this would be another post). Feel like I have eaten too much at every meal. Feel frustrated at the thought that I don't have high speed Internet and it's so expensive here. Surprised at the animals at home. Xena is a 7 months old rottweiler puppy and she is as big a an adult dog.
These things take time,but what a journey.

Thanks to all those people who have emailed and sent so much love and positive energy.

Not goodbye, but see you again!

In a mad rush to post these pics before my internet connection gets turned off...here they are..

All the friends, students, food,crazy nights, live music...and so much more that I will miss. All "random"

Thanks to those who came out on Friday night...that was special to me and meant the world.

love,live in the moment,laugh,have joy,be happy,take care
