This is the life!

I have spent the last couple of days doing practically nothing and have been loving it!The family are away in Phoenix and i'm house and dog sitting. My days go something like this... wake up at about 8am, have a cup of coffee and some toast on the deck, read the paper, check my emails, have a shower... by this time it's lunch time. Then it's time to do some studying, off to the gym or shop or for a bike ride (there are some great bike paths around here), come home, sit on the deck sipping on a cold beer.... you get the picture... bliss! :)

No...i didn't make a quick trip to the Caribbean (i wish), this is Boyd Lake in Loveland. I took a little roadtrip today to join the rest of the South Africans that live in Colorado for a braai (for the non-South Africans, that's a BBQ)! It was great to be amongst so many South Africans again... made me miss home even more (i now have less than a month til the visa expires) and to top off the day i won 3 bottles of Nandos sauce... yummy!

Local is lekker!

Well i have one more exam to go and have started putting the finishing touches on my little weekend break to Chicago, so things are moving along nicely! Still not sure when exactly i am returning home... the agency is taking it time with booking my ticket, but i am really looking forward to setting foot on South African soil again :)
