Bachelorette Balloon Rides

On Saturday was Natasha's Bachelorette Party (read failed Bachelorette party). I organised my ass off, and no one could make it and some never pitched. COWS!!! So in the end Natasha and I went on the "hot" air balloon ride alone, and it was AWESOME! Who needs disappointing friends? Montecasino has a hot air balloon that you can ride in. Very cool. So we bought tickets and saw Fourways from the sky. I think it was a rad way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Jozi City. The last Saturday that Tashy is in fact a single lady...

To Tash...

I love you my friend and am sorry things did not turn out the way you had hoped. I wish you the happiest marriage filled with joy, rainbows, sunshine, magical memories and of course love. I feel blessed to have you in my life and count you among my friends. I am honoured that you have asked me to be one of your bridesmaids. I will be there for you whenever you call and even when you don't. Looking forward to your big day on Saturday my beautiful friend! Here's to the future, it's a bright one!

Jozi Night Sky

I walked outside this evening to see the most magnificent sunset forming overhead. It has been raining for days and this was the first sunset I have seen in a while. I quickly grabbed my Nikon and took some pics. I don't think they do justice to what I saw, but they are still gorgeous nonetheless.

Enjoy!

Lyric of the Day

I just got back from a weekend away in Heidelberg. I can't really say that I went away as I really only went to visit Louise and Heidelberg is only 50kms outside of Jozi city. But how outside some places can really be. I love going to small towns like that. Drinking at small pubs and brunching at quaint delis. A town filled with pretty churches and quiet streets. It has a maximum of three places to party. And when I mean party I mean sit around, drink and talk shit with the kids who live in the town. Too awesome. I will definitely be going back next year. Thank you Lou. And in honour of our attempt at broken Afrikaans when we were a bit broken... Here are some special lyrics for you my friend...

"As die son bo hierdie rotse opkom,

gaan almal weet wat ek en jy nog altyd weet,

'n mens het sy limiet,

al wat jy het is wat die wêreld vir jou bied,

ek weet ons is uniek,

ek weet...

ek probeer my bes,

ek sweer ek probeer..."

Back to Jozi

City and Colour

I met a friend, Claire, at the Doll's House on Thursday for some convo and coffee. We could hear the storm approaching but we were sitting under the trees so could not see it. As we said our good-byes and parted ways, I looked up and saw the most incredible, indescribable storm cloud in front of me. I was in awe. It was grey, yellow, white, blue, green... It was monstrous. I whipped out my happy-snappy and started as usual snapping away. To Claire's annoyance. I tried to capture the beauty of this beauty but alas I don't think my little cam cam could do it. As I drove home I was filled with happiness, and continued snapping away more pics of the clouds and the city. I love this city! Jozi my LOVE!

So here are some of the pics... Enjoy!
