dail-up

so thanks to trying to comment on will's lastest blog it has crashed the system and open many many explorer windows and caused me to crash the comp and restart. so i havent got to josh's yet, but hopefully will after.

so annoying dail up is meaning that i am unable to post things on facebook so sorry if unable to reply to anything, but may have tried but just timed out on the page. lol, so hopefully this will work else i will hava wasted some time.

things been doing; today i felt like i robbed an bank, haha. i mean taking the amount out that i did with the security to getting it back home (well, an friend in a following buckie [ute, pick-up]) and also the stupid rules about changing money, etc. but then SA is funny that way. but i was lucky as being a forigner i can change money much for easily than locals can. and of course in true African fashion i recieved an txt from my uk bank telling me the money had been transfered before the confirmation was told to me at the bank; in fact the teller was still on the phone to main branch when i found out it went through). craxy country pretty much.

apart from that i have taught an swimming lesson to a friend who home schools her child, and been out for coffee, had a braai (keep up with the different words for BBQ). no ostrich this time, unlike last but nice yummy anyhow (surprising as my uncle and cousin, aged 7, were cooking). so all is all it has been pretty sweet time here.

so it has been a week of thinking again, especially with finding out about my start date for accomadation at uni and now only having the max of 3weeks at one time at home this 'summer' (uk). so i feel very strange about that as it wont feel like i am coming home, but rather visiting on my way through to my new 'home' in Plymouth. but is that going to be home, like will it feel like home? but then home so far has been really becoming where my bag is. so maybe so!! or will my UK home still be in bristol??

many thoughts, but where is that getting me? i struggled with the whole leaving NZ and really i could have easily stayed if i werent paid for on a trip in africa. but then maybe thats why it has been planned that way. God is a supernatural force and maybe that is why life so far has fallen into place the way it has. as i look back at my life and talk things through with people that have known me all my life it is very interesting to see that the many things that have made me just who i am today. and i really thank God for that; the idiot that i was sometimes as a child and teenager (probs still am somtimes) that have helped shape the person that i am now! i really praise this BEING for that and the personal presence that i have felt over the last couple of years.

now i start onto a journey into myself in the deepest way i have planed on my journey into who i am this year. AFRICA, and as i have re-experienced Capetown i am starting to see things differenetly. however i am not sure if right differently but after this next 2months where i am apart of an tour driving up Africa from capetown to naoribi via rwanda and uganda. i am also excited to the chance of visiting Zoe and this school and life she is living and experiencing that i read about in her blogs and fb posts.

Let this journey commence
