Last night we started to get things booked for our holiday to Cape Town, and we've got 4 of the 6(!) different places we're staying booked. We're staying in a variety of places, from a sw*nky hotel in capetown, to a fancy tent thing in a nature reserve (where we get to go for a ride on an elephant - eek!). We fly out via amsterdam, so we decided to spend a couple of nights there before going on to SA, and we're staying in the Winston hotel in the red light district (just round the corner from the Grasshopper if you know where I mean). It's an art hotel, and all the rooms are crazily decorated by artists who appear to have taken large amounts of narcotics before getting the paintbrush out I'm looking forward to staying there!

I've been mostly listening to Gonzales and Suede, which has been very enjoyable.

We went to entroprized and mrshipe's house for tea on monday night, which was a lovely veggie risotto. I think if I could only have one foodstuff again for the rest of my life, I'd choose rice. Yum I sucessfully managed to persuade them to come to Thimbleberry, but tbh they didn't need much persusasion
