Sushi, sunshine and singing carols

Delicious sushi at the Waterfront today - girls' day out. Magnificent weather, not a breeze down there, although as we took the bend past Groote Schuur Hospital the southeaster was blasting through as usual.
Unhurried stroll through crowded wharfs - unfortunately unable to stay for the free FreshlyGround concert :( but other events called.

The slow drive along the main road between Muizenberg and Fish Hoek in the blazing sun took its toll on me and I had to have a brief lie-down and 40 winks before finally finishing 'the big book' and sending it off. Another one awaits on the email and tomorrow I actually have to go to Claremont to 'work' as the next job is apparently quite complicated! Just what I need at this time of year when everyone is in holiday mood. Mind you, I find that it is better to work in the evening and can usually put in about 3 hours before bedtime, but then the brain is in revved up mode and I can't sleep. Somehow, three months in Paris is looking like something I should be aiming for, far from the madding crowd. Or Venice.

Just now I am off to church for the Carol Service. It's just not Christmas if I don't go - after all, it is a religious holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus that has just got completely out of hand with commercialism. I'll see you there.
