Right now I’m sitting in the departures lounge of George Airport… my plane has been delayed due to bad weather and so as I accidently packed my book into my luggage all I’ve got with me is my laptop and cell phone so I’m using that to kill some time.

George Airport doesn’t have wifi not even extremely overpriced wifi so I’m using my cell, a cable because my bluetooth dongle doesn’t want to work and my laptop to get online and chat to friends.

Why I’m only leaving on Wednesday when I was suppose to leave on Sunday is complicated and I’ll explain it all some other time… what I will tell you is that it involves pain, money and doctors.

Below are a few pictures taken with my cell that show why my plane has been delayed… and no it has nothing todo with the pink cloud thats my cell phone… or the painkillers.

Updated (A little while after typing and posting the above.): ?

So I took the pictures below while I was boarding the plane and for obvious reasons I couldn’t post them straight away. As you can see or perhaps thats can’t see… the heavy mist/fog is the cause of all the delays.

I want to snuggle up to my coffee cup…

Ok so it does sound like a bit of a weird thing to say but let me explain.

The wind is howling outside according to the SA Weather Service it’s a 13km/h North West wind and the temperature is 13deg C. So whats the problem? I’m sitting in our offices which are not air conditioned or very well thermally insulated with a freezing cold wind blowing through (from under a door or something).. and I’m *cold*, *very* cold. I feel like I’m the mitchelin man with all my layers of clothes on and I really hate trying to type when my arms won’t bend because I have so many bits of clothing on.

The law should state that if you are unable to fill out the form to renew your license or apply for a new one then you’re unfit to drive a car.

One of the reasons for my trip to George this weekend was to get a date for my Learners License. Why I had to go to George to do this is complicated and will be a story for another day, I promise.

This weekend I went back to George for a short break, a chance to get a few things done that I’ve been meaning todo and a chance to contemplate the general meaning of live, the universe and everything.
I’ve had strange things happen in the past happen to me when travelling from Capetown to George and back again. I’ve been in a bus thats broken every speed limit on the way, been in one that left someone behind, been sandwiched between many a large black women or sat infront of or behind the couple with the screaming baby. On occasions when I’ve travelled with friends we’ve gotten lost, gotten a flat tyre and been stuck in traffic… which nearly double our trip time. This time was no different.

So I turned 23 this week, on the 21st of June for those of you who forgot.

What amazes me was the number of automated birthday wishes from every forum I’ve got a login for, cell phone providers and banks and almost everything I’ve ever entered my birth date into. In total I got about 30 birthday emails, 1 of which was from a real person (my parents).

So too those of you who wished me happy birthday, Thank you. To those who didn’t, it’s never too late.

No I have not gone crazy… and no I’m not about to marry Katie Holmes and need to tell everyone.. although I do wish I was that lucky.. although it would have to be the before Tom Cruise Katie Holmes though. see Jumping the Couch.

No what I’m talking about is my never ending search for the “Perfect Couch”.

As the samba beat courses through your veins you take the perfect body in your arms and twirl her round… then throw her away and almost violently but very sensually you pull her closer, running your hands through her long brown hair and down her short sequent dress…
