- I wake up at 10am after going to sleep at 9pm
- Feeling much better actually.
- I dawdle off to have a shower
- Breakfast is overnight oats and a coffee. I cut up a banana and put it in last night - this morning it’s a little on the syrupy side of things… so note to self: only cut up the banana and put it in in the morning.
- I wash dishes and dry my wetsuits out. It’s quite comical having two wetsuits and a small army of boards out here in the mountains.
- I head off to the cliff view point and start writing some words.
- watch a couple of birds have a tussle
- finished up Jozi Jordan
- Went for a bath at the famous spot, read Red Dog which is fantastic
- Today was the first day in quite a few months that I’ve been by myself the whole day - and it’s absolutely lovely. Long overdue.
- I’m sitting in the common room of the backpackers writing this while some dude plays prog trance - it’s pretty hilarious
- there is nothing like being in a campsite by yourself cooking dinner under the stars
- I listen to a Metta meditation and then read Red Dog until I fall asleep.
After two months of serious work and busy social life, leading into the excitement of Joburg and straight into travelling to JBay and that whole adventure has been busy. Living in a digs and being quite involved in the Muizenberg social scene has left me with little alone time. I realise that today is the first day in months that I’ve spent all by myself. It’s long overdue and I really soak it up.
- I’m going back to the car now to make some dinner, read my book and go to sleep.
