Its pouring still!! And I'm going to help people kayak later, and plan on going for a run. Gunna be fun... :p

So after the net last tiiiime, went for a walk with Iona, a crazy old fisherman tried to chat us up in Afrikaans, was funny. Met up with Candi, decided to go up to her place later. Went to the gymmmmmm, was good, showered, had a 'storming' session with the trainees (we'd been told to openly discuss out living issues with each other) it went on for aaages, luckily, no-one had a problem with me!! Ate, went to Candi's, chatted to her and her little sister who's just moved there from their mums in Kwazulu-Natal, and watched some of Twighlight, love that film!! In love with Bella's Lullabye, the piano song in it 😊 came back and spoke to my Royness <3

Thurs - up early for PT, very nearly didn't do it because of this bloomin foot, but struggled on... jogged to the dirt road, picked up the pace, then raced to the beach at Willow Point for the swim to the blue boat and back - it was freezing!! Was pretty tired like. Fixed the watch tents which had blown down, scrambled up a rope fastest out of everyone :D sooo much fun!! Eventually got brekkie at 10:45, ugh. Got dry, was bored, nothing for me and Natasha to do, so I 'revised' online :p visited the Boshoffs in the shop (Chris's parents) went down to the water for kayak practice, that has to be the coldest the water has ever been, seriously!! Was raining as well, but was refreshing. Deon decided to do our LOC's there and then, and we passed!! Suuuuch a relief. Nearly failed it though, but he let me do it again. SO tired afterwards!! Such a relief to have got it, now we can actually go out in the field!! I really feel like I've achieved something personally 😊 wrote a letter, went with Natasha to Spar to buy celebratory choc. Was tiiired, so went to bed.

Fri - Posted my letter, me and Natasha siged off all our LOC's, scary stuff!! Deon was giving the trainees a lecture, then Iona and Fuller arrived back from the course and we helped unpack. I put up an awesome washing line, only to discover we didn't actually need it!! 😞 hoyed lunch quickly then Deon took us to George so Iona and Natasha could sort their visa stuff, and I went to the mall to get my internet on my phone sorted (its sorted now) :D was gunna see 17 again at the cine, but met up with the other 2 once they'd done and they wanted to see Slumdog Millionaire so we saw that - it was really good, kina sad but with a happy ending for once, yay!! Got to play the nice piano in the shop :D then Henk picked us up, and we hoyed it back to base, had crazy egg mix for dinner then we went out to La Piazza for drinks to celebrate getting paid :p I only had one though. Went back, everyone else was drunk, so I went to bed :p

Got up early with Iona this morning to go to the market, had a lovely breakfast there and met some interesting people from Ireland. Had a blue cheese, pear and chocolate pancake, was awesome!! Wandered back, listened in for a bit on a mapwork lecture for the trainees, got the hang of the South African maps now, for sure :p and came here to this lovely interenet cafe with fast internet and finally got my photos on facebook!! Check em out :p

Lots of love everyone, prolly won't be able to update for a while cuz going to Grabouw on Mon, then Potch... much love!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
