My last post was a very emotional one, and I felt that I needed to write it to process all the emotions that I have been feeling over the last month. It feels almost therapeutic. The emotions are still there, but they are manageable.
Bridge back to daily life!

To stay or to leave …
May 27th, 2008
I visited Cape Town for the first time in 2002 and I was in love. The city vibe, the people and most of all the moutain, who can forget the mountain! I knew that I wanted to move here. Two years later, I made the move and started my life as a Cape Townian. TD, who I met just before moving down, was already living in Cape Town, so I saw myself settling down here for the rest of my life, bringing up a family & growing old on the foothills of Table Mountain.

Reading stories like this makes my heart ache.
A successful weekend!
May 26th, 2008
After a hefty breakfast & two hours of serious weekly-series-catch-up session, it was time to head out for a day of shopping to source pieces for my home decor project. I managed to rope TD in and get him all excited about the prospect of a clean, elegant looking lounge. TD and I both dislike long shopping trips, we are the ‘zip-in-zip-out’ type so we don’t really get the whole ‘walk around the mall for an entire day’ thing & shopping malls don’t usually leave us feeling warm and fuzzy. But Saturday was a different story, I came to the realisation that I love shopping malls, I love the idea of having a gazillion furniture stores under one roof!
Buying vs Making?

I stumbled across Mr B’s Carpenters while searching for interesting, stylish, don’t-break-my-bank-balance furniture stores and I wonder if this will work out cheaper? Especially considering all the furniture pieces that I like seem to be set on breaking my bank balance!
Home Decor Project
May 23rd, 2008
I am done living like a student.
That is it. Time to start making a home out of my flat. I have always wanted to spice up my flat and get a theme going to bring a classic, timeless feel to it but I just couldn’t be bothered to put in the effort. But after weeks of coming home and feeling like I was walking into a student digs with sparse furnishing and no character, I have decided that it is time to invest time & energy into decorating my flat without having to eat salty crackers for the rest of the year.
