Day 27: Pretoria (and Johannesburg)
Ok, so it’s been a while. In my defence, I have been quite busy over the last few days.
Ok, so… Tuesday? Yeah, Tuesday. Jasmine and I spent the day calling customer support for the modem because they send us the wrong login details. Yay them. And then we spent the late afternoon (it took us that long to finally get it working) just enjoying the wonder that is the internet - reading...
INTERNET IS BACK!
So, a guy from the internet company came out here yesterday, reset the phone line, and told us that our modem was fried, so we got a new one. Then spent over an hour on hold trying to get our order number (you literally can’t set up the modem without it, and the only way to get it is to call them), then one we got that, the next step required our username and password - we put them in...

Some pictures, finally.
Jasmine and I playing around during the little dinner party thing where we cooked lots of food. =D
And again, but we were standing in the pool. Because we can =P
And playing around with the camera on Jasmine’s laptop. Again, just for fun.

Day 22: Pretoria
Only 2 days since my last post, guys! Aren’t you impressed! And the only reason I didn’t post yesterday is that the internet place was closed. So yeah. I’m getting better. Haha!
Ok, so yesterday was nice - Jasmine and I went to Brooklyn Mall again to have some lunch. It was a really nice late lunch, with more chai lattes. Yum! We walked back again, though it was a really warm...

Day 20: Pretoria
Sorry. It’s been a while. Lack of internet has affected my motivation. And I still haven’t done any vlogs. Oh well.
Day 15 (Monday): I have no idea what we did. Which means it was probably a quiet day. The usual, you know. Oh! I watched the first two episodes of Game of Thrones. Finally. It took me a while. But yeah. I liked them, will watch more soonish.
Day 16 (Tuesday /...

Day 14: Pretoria
Well, hey there. Still no internet, so I haven’t bothered writing anything (I kept meaning to, but only remembering once I was in bed, and there was no way I was going to get out of bed to write… Especially since it was usually either really late, or I was really tired (or both)). Anyway, I’ve actually done quite a bit recently. Let’s see…
Ok, so on day 9 (Tuesday), Jas and I were...

Day 8: Pretoria (or Monday the 6th of February
Hi again! So, another day with no internet, and we found out that because of the blackout, the set-top box broke as well. Yay. Anyway, I slept in, it was lovely, then I finished my book (actual yay)! Jasmine and I decided we were hungry (since she’d spent the morning killing zombies with plants, and I had slept through breakfast), so we put some things in the oven to heat up.
Just when things...

Day 7: Pretoria (or Sunday the 5th of February)
So, it’s been a week as I write this, though most likely more until I can post it – our internet is not working! Boo!
Also, my sunburn is peeling very badly. Very. My whole front is pink and peeled and I feel a little like a mandarin. Peeling isn’t fun – I’m all itchy! Today was pretty good – we got up relatively early, had showers, used the internet a bit (it only died this afternoon), and then...

Day 6: Pretoria
Yeah, I know. I realised when I woke up this morning that I had missed out yesterday’s post.
I’d like to say it was because we were just so busy, but… Well. We weren’t. It was another relaxing sunburn-recovery day. We woke up (late), had a (late) breakfast, watched some stuff, ate some more… Went to buy groceries and a few other things… Um, yeah. That was...

Day 4: Pretoria
Well hey people, sorry, but this is going to be another quick one.
Jasmine and I both woke up at about 8am, but then went back to sleep until about midday. That was nice. Total of 12 hours sleep during the night. =D Got hungry, had guacamole and chips for breakfast, it was delicious! Then we watched another episode of My Little Pony, and then the first part of Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather...

Day 3: Pretoria
Ok, this is going to be a quick one, because I haven’t really done much today, and I’m about to go to bed.
So, I woke up relatively early again (still not over the jetlag, but I’m kind of hoping I keep this sleeping pattern. Waking around 8am and going to sleep at 11-12pm is actually not bad. Way healthier than my previous habit of waking up at 1pm and going to sleep around...

Day 2: Pretoria
My second day in Pretoria!
Last night (due to jetlag) I conked out (literally) at around 9pm. That’s 6am Melbourne time, so not too bad. I woke up this morning at 7:40am, so I think I’m slowly getting over the jetlag. Yay!
Anyway, so after a delicious omelette for breakfast, Jasmine and I headed down to the mall, where Jasmine had a job interview. To get to the mall, we had to take...

Day 1: Pretoria
So, as promised, I’m going to write about what I do each day (hopefully I will remember, there might be gaps =P)
Today it was a beautiful, sunny 30 degrees Celsius. Woke up at 6am due to jetlag, but went to bed again for a few hours. Immediately after breakfast, we went outside to the pool. We also inflated the purple water… bed thing, and the big ring!
So the above photo is my...

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of posting!!!
I’ve been super busy with the packing, and cleaning up, and goodbyes, so I haven’t had much tumblr time recently…
(Random, irrelevant note. I just discovered that I have been sitting on a pair of scissors for the last hour. Oops?)
Anyway, to say sorry, here are some more pictures of my adorable cat (under the cut so I don’t clog up your dash):
Looking evil. Again.

Loading books onto my new Kindle!
Since I’m going to have to endure a 16 hour flight and then an 8 hour flight to get to South Africa, I decided I should have something to do for that flight… Laptop won’t last long enough, neither will my 3DS or iPod (if I use it for anything other than just music), so… Yeah.
Quick trip to Big W for a refurbished (and therefore cheaper) ebook reader, and tadaa! Hello...

Emma Mulholland
A little while ago, I was at an Alice Euphemia sale, and I saw the most AMAZING skirt designed by Emma Mulholland. She’s a new Australian designer, and I must say that the clothes she designs are exactly what I love. You can find pictures from her collections on her site, but here are some of my favourites!
1. “Parrot Fish Skirt” (This is the skirt I saw, and yes, I bought it....

Dance!
I have one last dance performance before I leave the country! It’s going to be awesome - tap, jazz, contemporary, singing, and of course live music!
If anyone is interested, it’s going to be at FAD Gallery this Thursday from 9pm (ish).
This also happens to be the last performance as the Down Town Dancers - after this we’ll be Cabaret Antique.
Entry is free, so if you happen to...

WatchA performance by my dance group - unfortunately I was away when this was filmed, but doesn’t it look fantastic?
Anyway, the band and the dancers are putting on a show as Cabaret Antique! It’s going to have singing and tapping and more dancing and great music!
This is something we have dreamed about for years, and we finally have a chance to make this dream come true! The only thing...
