Reconnecting

Friday after work a couple of colleagues and I went to a great restaurant here in the South of Johannesburg to eat some pizza and wind down after a hectic week. We went to Gino’s pizzeria, a privately owned pizza place on Harry Street. Anyone who has lived in the south for some years knows about this place, and everyone agrees that there simply isn't better pizza around. It is DELICIOUS. So freshly made with the best ingredients and the atmosphere in there is just relaxed and allows you to be really sociable. Sadly, so many restaurants play music too loud, but in here it is just there as an enhancement to your evening. You totally get how much I love the place, right? I promise to take some photos the next time I am there. Check them out here: http://www.ginos.co.za

 The most part of the weekend I spent catching up with old friends from school, who remains as close to my heart as since the days we spent together in the dusty hallways of Hoërskool President. I love to see that no matter how we change, we will always be compatible together. This is a priceless gift! So many people I have met later in life had changed to an extent that we simply weren't able to maintain our friendships any more  That saddens me a great deal. But with Anell and Anneke, they just remain two people that I can trust with any secret, which they will never share with anyone. That is simply the way we are made, right ladies? I actually see Anell quite often – we play hockey together and live close enough to see each other regularly. Anneke sadly lives quite a bit from us, and we have to plan really well when we are planning a catch up, for a lot of reasons, with the fact that between the three of us, there is no driver’s licence definitely not being the smallest problems. So when we manage the three of us in the same space, it is obviously crazy, with lots of chatter and laughing and crying (and drinking, duh).

We slept over at Anell’s house, and had a really good time. We shared a lot of secrets (secrets, so don’t even ask!), ate pizza, baked cupcakes* – top deck cupcakes with Treat and jelly babies as decoration. Healthy was not the key word! But it was really delicious.**

Great weekends really prepare me for challenging weeks ahead, so now I am mostly prepared for the gruelling week that lies before me. I have an audit, loads of exercise (I am in a phase) and learning for my upcoming Unisa exams ahead of me.

Thanks Ladies!
