Was working from home when load shedding (i.e. the electricity across a large swathe of the city was turned off; long story) hit at 12pm; put on shorts, lightened my backpack (i.e removed all work-related stuff, like laptops etc.) packed a novel, three boiled eggs and jumped on to a train to Simonstown (one of the last outposts of the British empire despite colonial statues falling at a rate of knots in South Africa).
Right now: Quaffing white wine and devouring fresh and sumptuous West Coast mussels (post red tide, that is) and wish you were here.
Happy sunny Friday autumnal afternoon in a beautiful world (when you squint your eyes a bit and block your ears).
