The hand brake came off the relationship road, and here I find myself skipping along again. We officially have a song -- "Winter Song" from ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/03/cape-town-saves-the-day/ So my second trip to Joburg was very different from the first, and I'm not going to go into a lot of detail. I learned though that life is most certainly not a rom-com and definitely, maybe I watch too many of them for my own good. The knife throwing ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/03/joburg-part-deux/ So just got back from an evening of "all you can eat sushi" at Saul's with Mireille and her friend Fiona. I think we went overboard and left there slightly tipsy from white wine and an overdose of sushi. The first round was fine and we were well up for ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/03/all-you-can-eat-sushi/ Good advice from two wise people: 1. Follow your heart and trust your instincts 2. Get ready to catch the next wave http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/01/seek-wisdom/ So another January 24 has come and gone, but this one was different, with no prior angst or trepidation.

This is the first ever time I can remember telling people I'm the age I will be tomorrow before I've even got there. There are many things in my life I would ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/01/another-year-gone-by/ I would write a review for Sherlock Holmes and Avatar, and I would re-ignite the film reviews in general. Anyhoo, Roz is seriously "loved up" as the Brits say, as she got such a sweet text message this morning from de Soto. Should I be so happy, and more to the ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/01/if-i-only-had-time/ So here we are in 2010 finally. I've applied for World Cup tickets in Cape Town, and because they cost rather more than I thought, I am sort of hoping I don't get all that I applied for as I'll be flat broke, but then, on the other hand, I'm ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2010/01/happy-new-year-2010/ This Christmas is very different from Christmases past and doesn't much feel like Christmas at all to tell you the truth. Well, I wanted to see what a Cape Town Christmas would be like and here I am. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go and spend Christmas with my mum ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2009/12/115/ You would not believe how people drive around here -- totally oblivious to the rules of the road for the most part. The other day I was practically pushed out of my lane (by a flippin' traffic department car no less) veering into it from the left, without signalling and ... http://www.planet-roz.com/blog/2009/12/road-rules-sa/
