Trying to stay in touch with the world while sharing my adventure, posting some photographs and recording my thoughts.

Some more birthday gifts and catching up on zzzz’s.

Taking it real easy today after the difficult gypsy yesterday, 
 
I made it to my friend Urvi’s place last night.  See was kind enough to let me stay at her place while I am visiting her and other friends in Cape Town during the next couple of days.  I only planned to stay one night, but other things changed very last minute and I will be spending the weekend in the mother city in South Africa.  Urvi also made a lot of effort surrounding my birthday, arranging a cake and more gifts to make things very special.  
 
I am taking the rest of the day easy, catching up with Urvi and getting in some zzz’s.  I seem very disconnected with this place (Cape Town) and with some people too and I don’t know why exactly.  My balance is a little off.  In all honesty, when I was sitting at Schiphol airport yesterday morning, I was wishing that I was flying back to Christchurch and not South Africa.  A little homesick.

  1. Your last “2 travelling days” would have most certainly messed with your balance and your meditation glow, amongst other things .. under normal circumstances it is difficult to keep a good balance .. you will get your balance back again ..
    The Universe, as we know it, is not always on our side and like you stated in your previous post – perhaps a lesson or something to take from it ..

    It was awesome to also just chill and catchup – can’t remember when last I was so relaxed – I always give out advice but don’t always follow it .. ‘-)

    I also got spoilt – Thank you for the very precious gifts ..

  2. I agree, what an Awesome Cake. Glad you got spoilt!!! 🥳

    You will get your groove back, Phil…. just give it time… We all have our “off” moments. You got this.

    • All thanks to Urvi and her art-y vision. I know I will get my groove back, but it is hard and will take a lot of work… time to sit down.

  3. Crikey, that’s one heck of a cake. Almost a shame to take a chunk out of it.
    Sorry that I had no reminder set for your birthday, so here’s belated greetings. 🎂

    • Yes, it was… but the Haaikie “takes no prisoners” and the cake had to go. He made a good “dent” in the cake but called in family reinforcements to help finish it off. No problem about my birthday, I forget yours too. LOL
