Winter soup :)

I had the unfortunate pleasure of a Grahamstown roadtrip on Tuesday (oxymoron intended). Unfortunate because the roads have never been that wet and rainy at the same time.....ever..... Pleasure because after holding off on seeing clients I decided to pull finger and I have some promising business coming from there now...."holding thumbs". The next little thing that lightened the mood of the day was coming across this amazing little store in Peppergrove Mall, called "The Peppertree" (Go figure) Anyway it was a mash up of Big Blue and Typo... I mean????? And the woman behind the counter, I'm pretty sure, thought I was going to steal something because I was looking at everything so meticulously and at the slowest pace known to mankind.... Haha. I can't help it though, I wasn't walking out without having bought something and didn't want to miss a thing.

I eventually came across a section of kitchen stuff (I know........ I almost cancelled my appointments) Ritzenhoff, le creuset.. to name a few and then saw these Soup bowls, which are in fact just ginormous (a word necessary today) mugs with handles. I was pretty sure I wouldn't ever eat soup again unless they were served out of these guys... So I bought two.....  

It's going to be possibly, literally and figuratively the coldest winter, so soups and blankets on the couch will be on order for the most part.

Just doing what I can for now... there's an end result I have in mind.. and while a lot of it requires money to be spent, there are little things that I can do in the meantime to keep me busy and keep the vibe up.... More to come though...... When it comes to fitment, wellll let's just say I'll start with the buying. 

.....Putting the pieces back together........... I guess that's for later...

Long weekend...

There's still beauty during plight

When life's intensity starts to consume you, literally stop and appreciate the things you don't realise you have without even having to ask for it or wait for it......... It's always there.... every morning without fail. #onmymorningrun

Time is underrated.

I realised this morning that some of the biggest time-wasters in my life are the people I encounter at 4 way stops................


Our time here has an expiry date... surely we should be living each day as flatout as we can? And just sleeping when we're tired.......... Gotta make time count more... 

Found this in the post

Hmm......

Winter's coming................

 

No Ragrets... not even one.

Just wanted to share some S2000 appreciation... My one personally has become apart of me and me apart of it... So it's safe to say.........It's not going anywhere... except places...........with me behind the wheel. Some are just in love with the idea of something... others are in love with the thing itself.

Hell is back

Vance Joy

I want to own all their music................................. Need a vinyl ......................... can't find...................... so much cool stuff out there. I just want to be constantly surrounded by sounds like this.

Shopping antics

So as things go, we don't have much time to shop... or at least I don't seem to find the time to.. unless of course I'm having to shop for someone else, in which case I make a concerted effort at browsing for myself as well... Generally I find myself in places like Musica, or exclusive books before any clothing stores, and I think I have come to know why that is..

When I walk into exclusive books or musica I know EXACTLY what I want - so it's a safe haven due to it being my favourite stuff in the world - music and books.. I know that should I find the right thing - I'm going to walk out with it... But if I don't see anything - as I don't want everything, I can walk out quite unphased. However............ when I walk into a clothing store I want just about................ everything. So I tend to steer clear of these unless I've made a solid commitment to a clothing shopping day. Haha. There is no browsing when I walk in these shops - I walk in and pick up a million things (and that's even before underwear and PJ section - which I could also just buy everything of). So I either walk out with nothing or everything - both having their non-ideal results.....

So the other day when in Musica, I was looking for a DVD for my dad and as a last thought before leaving the store,walked over to the Vinyl section (necessary habit) and saw Alanis' "Jagged little pill' - well you know when you grab something and look left and right and clasp it to your chest (ok maybe you don't) but when it feels like you've just found Gold and you're afraid someone might come and take it from you. Well that was me... in musica.. with my jagged little pill vinyl firmly clutched... hahaha.. It's still in the plastic, albeit on the shelf with the others... waiting on the right day for opening..

Classics are classic :)

Zuma exempts 8 million pupils from school fees

So then we get people like this:

Shelly Myburgh Grobler REALLY??????? OMW! Does that include like ALL the SA school children! White children too? You joking right, this is an early April fool's prank! Shame on you!!

Lucille Marais I agree Shelly. There are some poor people in SA as well, do they also quailfy(won't mention race as I don't want this to turn racist) for fee education?

The uneducated are the "poor" decision makers in society... Every child should  be awarded the opportunity to receive an education, as they are the future (a necessary cliche) Whether some children's parents are paying for this and others not - So what? Would you honestly, as a parent who can afford to send your kid to school (a good school), have an issue with this grant given to government schooling to the children of poor families who can't..? Surely you can see the light at the end of the tunnel in such a decision. It's not the child's fault, and that child invariably suffers the loss of a "good life" where he finds himself struggling in every avenue of life due to being uneducated. Which leads no one employing "said child", which ultimately leads to crime..... Let's get the youth educated.. we complain that the tax payer's money doesn't go anywhere sound......... this is sound. I think it's great, if it's true.

Selfie @ the Oscars

Hahahaha, dig this.... !

Money doesn't = happiness.. but it does help though

People who have a lot of money aren't necessarily happy......... But then again... it's not the money that's causing their unhappiness either.

Moral of the story...... Find what it is in life that makes you happy.... then make enough money to keep it alive :) - that's happiness...... Keeping what you love alive.

.........

Aaaah Hayley.. bring your vibes to SA.. paramore.. paramount

 

Life's short.... so do what you want to now....................... there'll always be stuff to do later too :)
