More of the same

Just to keep us grounded, we’ve had level 4 loadshedding since Sunday morning and its scheduled to continue till the weekend. This has meant 2 hour blackouts three times each day which is inconvenient during the day – although very challenging for businesses – but the evenings are a little more disruptive, our lights have been going out around dinner time for the last 4 days. So I’m sitting writing this by candlelight  - although my blue tooth speaker is still working –with  Melody Gardot, Leonard Cohen and Claire Martin to keep me company. Must remember to pick up a UPS next time I’m in town!

We’re off to the Mother City for a couple of nights – staying with Ursula at Rouge on Rose as always – with dinner on Friday at her latest recommendation - Utopia. We’ve got appointments to apply for our visa extensions on Friday and planning a visit to Kirstenbosch gardens on Saturday.  

Busy sports schedule with World cup qualifiers, T20 Cricket final and the Autumn International Rugby – Scotland v Springboks and Ireland v All Blacks are probably the stand out fixtures - how the time flies by!!
