So I am back home after my short trip to the UK for my cousin Brad's wedding. Which was wicked! And By home I dont just mean South Africa, I mean Greytown. Back with the folks. In the same old bed that I grew up in.
But so far so good. Started my new job working with my cousin Jody. And I get to see my brother, sister-in-law and niece a lot more than i have been. Because they too are living under my parents roof after moving up form Somerset West. So things are busy to say the least.
Other than that I had a good few days in Durban at indaba and got to see a lot of friends again. Thursday night was pure black out! OC buzz on got me hard! and then a very chilled Friday night at a friends birthday, where the guitars came out and fun was had.
So thats about it for now. Got the little ones birthday party this weekend, so should be a few sweets around. Too keen.

The Recent Years
Ok. So I am pretty bored, so I thought I would catch you up on a few things i have been up to.
So as I said I have been in the UK for the last 2years.
I started out in Manchester, where I met up with my good friend James and his brother Ollie.
Manchester is quite a city. In the summer it is possible still one of my favourite places, so much to do, and so many crazy people. Winter on the other hand, is pretty lame. But lots of good friends were made and I definitely had some unique experiences there.
Next stop was Scotland where myself and James ventured off to find some work and clarity while Oll finished of his studies.
It was interesting to say the least. We worked for an outdoor center, which meant tons of activities to keep us busy, but we never really did any. We spent most of our time taking photos in the dark and exploring the woods. As well as spending some time on frozen water. give this a watch if you can
From there we went for some recuperation in Wales. Staying with Jame's dad and Ollie's mom. All i can say is it was very quiet. In small towns in wales there is not much to do. So we lived for the weekends when we went to Manchester to let off some steam. As well as eating a lot of crisps.
After a while I said good bye to Wales and to James and headed down south to the wonderful Provence of Kernow, Cornwall for all you unenlightened people. I managed to get a job as a barmen at another outdoor adventure center.I lived in a shed that was a stones throw away form a fun little right hander, and so my days of bodyboarding were back on track.
This place proved to be extremely fun and I met a lot of people who will difficult to forget. especially after having the best bosses I have ever had. The best thing about Cornwall is that nothing happens that fast. So it is a very chilled existance. right up my alley. But if I did feel the need to spice things up I would head off to London and spend most of my money on a weekend long pub crawl. delightful stuff.
But the as the summer came to an end I headed back to Manchester in search of some work but only managed to find unemployment. Which was unsettling and left me broke for my trip home.
But none the less it was a fantastic trip which brings us right back to the here and now.
So I hope that brings you up to speed a bit.

First Hello
A very good day to those of you who have stumbled on this blog.
My name is Pinky and I am currently seeing through a move back to my home country of South Africa. I have been living in the UK for the last 2 years, and after a short but long visit home, I have decided to move back to the great dark continent.
Being back on the sunny warm shores and being in the company of my Friends&Family made me realize that the good life i was chasing was right at home all along.
and for those of you who might doubt me.
So this is the start of my new life back home. And even though it will begin with very humble beginnings in the small town of Greytown, living with my parents, I believe it will be a pretty cool journey.
so for now......
