Good things

{The gorgeous view from Tobega Restaurant at The Radisson Blu Hotel, Waterfront}

I've got an incredibly long list of things to do this week, but I just can't seem to find the motivation or will to do anything remotely work-related today. It seems I'm in holiday mode already, thanks to the amazing, relaxing weekend I had. An old friend from varsity came to stay for a few days, and I took it upon myself to cram as much as possible into just a couple of days. After spending so much time in the outdoors, from lunch at the Radisson Blu Hotel and sundowners on Llandudno beach to a long walk on Noordhoek beach followed by live music and a chilled picnic in the Constantia Winelands, my brain is finding it difficult to focus on anything that doesn't involve sunshine, a chilled glass of bubbly and a good book.
