Hello World!

It sucks not updating my blog; I got so used to doing it every morning, or every other morning that it becomes an almost daily ritual, like brushing teeth. You don’t realise how much of a real community blogging can become until you don’t do it for a while. I’ve only been forced into silence for a week or two and it feels like ages, like I’ve been disconnected from something.

Cape town as always is as beautiful as ever, after about 5 minutes it felt as though I had never left, everything came rushing back trying to find its place in my mind, the familiarity of it all, the roads, the plants, that magnificent blue sky that seems alive in its own way, the local night clubs, the huge ever present blue table mountain, the space, oh how I missed that. After a year of towering office blocks and maze of grey buildings, the lack there of was a more than welcome sight.

I’m not going to go into much more than saying its great being back home, almost as if I’d never left, a year in the UK and home still feels as homely as ever. That’s one thing I’m never going to forget, no matter how long I may live in a different country you cannot beat the familiarity of your home town, no matter how much you may think you hate it (I don’t) you cant deny that it feels good to know exactly where everything belongs, and exactly how everything works.

One other thing, I almost forgot how cold this city can be! Cape town has a cold that London cannot compare to, it’s a damp lingering in your bones kind of chill, so whatever Londoners, or travellers to London may say, I’m gonna have to disagree with you on this one, cape town takes the cake for being cold, with all the central heating over there, it only feels like winter for the 5 minutes it takes waiting for the bus, other than that? Stop bitching, its not that cold!
