One of my very good friends left Dubai today. She’s gone back to the lovely shores of Cape Town to spend some time deciding what she wants to do with her life. I know she feels as though she is in some kind of limbo, but I hope she realises how good these times are for us. Lady, eat some snacks, drink some tea, drink even more bourbon, read some books, cry a bit, laugh a lot, rediscover everything you love about everything, and decide on a next move when you’re good and ready. And again, thank you for my beautiful Colour Code Swatch. I can’t stop looking at its purple loveliness. Look, I even made a small gallery for us to ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over:
what a beauty

more colours
super-cool
In other news, I’ve got one Alice Gnodde, also known as The Soutie, arriving in 3 days! I’ve spent the last 2 weeks trying to decide what to do with her for the 2 days she’s here. I’ve bought magazines, asked around, ravaged the internet, and still, I have come up empty-handed. I think the problem is that there is so much to do, and so little time. So how do I prioritise? Because we all know deep in our good hearts that a drink is the most important thing. Unfortunately, a drink seems to cripple the ability to do much else. I think I should start a renewed search – Things to do in Dubai when you’re utterly smashed. The only things I can think of off the cuff are: Swearing, Stumbling, Eating Burgers, Dancing (badly), Smoking Too Many Fags, More Drinking.
Oh dear.
Soooooon! I don’t mind what we do as long as we’re together. And a drink. Yayness.
