c and m

wrt to the day of the week, over the next few weeks.

You see, today is a Friday.
Tomorrow will be a Sunday.
And then Saturday will be a Saturday. Or possible another Friday.
Then, the week after is a month of Sundays, as is the week after that, except for Thursday which will either be a Friday or a Saturday.
Then Saturday will be a Saturday and days of the week resume their normal order.

Phew!

Shell Pendant - R100.
Coral Necklace - R280.
An Englishman in South Africa selling Thai jewellery to American tourists - priceless.

Shop still quiet, mind you.
Busy morning pricing all the old stock we’re pushing out to sell, sell, sell (half price!) and the new stock just in.

Ho hum.

Possibly.

I just met Christopher Eccleston.
He liked Teh Shop.

Woo!
I mean: Who!

Oh noes!

Naked on Kloof [FB group, goggle] is closing.
Today.

This makes me very sad.

That is all.

Person walks into the shop just now, obviously wanting to sell me summink.

Person: Good morning, sir, and how has your day been so far?
Me: Shit.
Person: …
Person: …

from Teh Shop and a rainbow thing created by Jo’s architectural glass (oo-er).

Bleh.

So, Teh Shop has been closed from friday afternoon until this morning at 10ish.
Oops.

Me and Parfait went off on Friday afternoon to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, which P’s boss owns a timeshare in.
The units are very, very nicely done up and the park is pretty big.

Had a great time until very late Saturday night when some kind of virus thing decided to asplode inside me, causing me to sleep until Sunday lunchtime, get driven home semi-conscious Sunday afternoon, sleep the rest of Sunday, and spend Monday at home crashing on the couch.

Almost better today.

Some pics of boks and bos to follow…

today:

- eight mounted policeman trotting up the street

- bacon plumbing van

The council and the local City Improvement peeps have got their shit together (yay!) and are redoing the crappy pavement in front of the row of shops that Teh Shop is on.

Grotty tarmac is being replaced by terracotta and grey bricks, with a couple of spots for trees thrown in.
And, in a shock move, they’re actually going through it quite quickly.
Only took them a day to do the bit in front of Teh Shop.
It looks lovely.
Once they’ve finished the whole lot I’ll snap a pic.

Unfortunately, the cutting of bricks to fit meant that I came back to the shop today to find a thick layer of brick dust on anything 30cm or less above pavement level. Hmm.
Thankfully none of it got inside the shop (yay to closing doors), just the mini-stoep and along the walls.

Everything tastes a bit gritty.
