Summer days

what a great day. Woke up late after a rather fun and entertaining evening.. dammit i didn't realize when i mentioned that, that i would probably have to then go on to explain yesterday. hmm. Brief: drinks with friends, followed by rather weird SA band called "spoonfeedas" at gateway, where we were one of about the four other people there, and where i spent the whole evening trying to avoid being dragged on stage to sing by the lead singer, followed in turn by large, revoltingly disgusting, and yet fantastic junk food being ingested. All and all a regular evening on the town; some great photos were taken, which I'll get sometime soon. But on the real topic for discussion: today. it really wasn't anything special- we all just needed to get the fuck out of town to avoid the people and the loud noises that happen to be collecting around the A1 grand prix track. i can still hear them from my house, and its after 10pm for god sake. So the bluff beach was the best choice for the day) and yes i know that is saying much for durban these days, but to attempt to go any actually nearish town is absolutely insane and ridiculous and crazy and all those other things- again cause by the bane of my life, the A1. it turned out to be the most perfect day- the weather has been raining hard lately (with cold fronts dropping the temperatures to, oh my god, 19 degrees!) and yet today was no wind, perfect sunshine and baking heat all the way. We did nothing but wallow in our suncreamy sweat, swim occasionally in water that lara felt smelt like curry, and generally had a perfect day. it poured again this afternoon so we made it home just in time. So because the main race is tomorrow we're having a repeat session of leaving town again tomorrow- this time its to shongweni dam, for a change of scenery from the beach. Hopefully it will be as perfect as today. Otherwise I'm staying in bed all day reading (great new book by haruki murakami) with my ipod on to avoid the spectacle. Sigh. i suppose i should be patriotic and wish sa best of luck and all, but i simply cant be assed.
