The trees have turned a gorgeous myriad of colours, everything from bright yellow to burgundy red. Everywhere you look, leaves twinkle from a wintery sun in a faint morning mist, heavy with the rains from last night. The shape of the Oak tree leaves looks just like a star, and they are all flattened against the floor. The fallen leaves turn the ugly cement and tar of the parking lot into a vibrant carpet covered in stars, like a painting of some celestial body.
Winter walking
Tree watching
Fire, somewhere in the distance.
Ok, I'll stop being a sentimental old fart now.
But if you haven't taken a walk down a leafy lane in a while, perhaps it's time to do so. It just brings that little boost back into your step.
In other news:
WE WON QUIZ! Suck it, b - b - b- b- bird is the word! R1500 bar tab and a spitbraai are ours! We nudged past them last night to win by just half a point. Naturally, we stayed to celebrate so I'm feeling a little fragile at the moment. But hell, it's WORTH IT!
The boy is taking me on a surprise birthday date tonight. I have no idea what it is (obviously, hence the word 'surprise'), and the clues just make it sound seriously dodgy. Apparently it's something I've done, but in a different way and a different combination. The boy hasn't done it before. And it's not very expensive. If you have any ideas, let me know. I'm still hoping for the best though! (plus, I got a present of an awesome lumo purple top to wear so actually I'm more excited about that!)
Tomorrow is Super 14 finals! Can you feel the excitement? Go stormers!!! I'm more excited about Pierre Spies, Victor Matfield and Morne Steyn all together on the field. Man candy is still the motivating reason behind my interest in rugby. Plus, we get to drink beer in a cosy bar. What more does a girl want?
Afterwards we're celebrating the sad departure of a good friend who's going to entertain his erotic asian fantasies (read: teach English in Korea). You will be missed, Old Man Time.
