Man - family can be disappointing. Then they wonder why you travel to the far reaches of the world and don't want to spend any time with them.

how does one ask for kindness?

Back home on the estate from my short trip to Joburg. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦²

My hotel room has this neat little roof garden. πŸͺ΄

Off to Joburg for the weekend on this rainy day. 😬

Waiting to see how long it takes my mother to notice that I removed all the chalk paint from her 3m long work desk.

Folks are returning to the estate today after spending the whole summer in the Cape. Hopefully they'll be satisfied with all the upkeep I've been doing and the general state of things.

Security alarm goes off at 3am. Nothing. Security shows up at 4am. πŸ˜‘

Young gay love in my backwater city? It was genuinely sweet. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Was pleasantly surprised today when I saw my young waiter greet his boyfriend at the entrance of the cafΓ© and stole a kiss in the hidden corner of the door frame. :x

One of the deepest forms of suffering is being in front of beauty, happiness, and the joy and be unable to partake in any of it.

I guess Elmo was talking into his puppet's ear on how bad the rich white people have it here in SA.

"Oh - we're getting a Starbucks... wait a minute.." πŸ”πŸ€”

My way of treating the inflammatory symptoms that reading the news has given me the last few weeks.

January isn't even over yet and retailers are already prepping for Easter. πŸ₯šπŸ˜¬

Swipe typing "handsome", get "jackal" instead. 🀷

Me whenever I return to the estate.

Time to head home. πŸ›«

I wonder if it's because I feel more content, less bothered with the daily grind or that my trip to the US last year filled the cup just enough for me to be at ease for a while. 🍡

This has been the longest I've been down in the Cape and despite the usual family issues, off putting conservatism, etc - I have been considerably less irritable and restless than in previous years.

Mom's birthday went well and it brings the season's festivities to a close. πŸ₯‚

Sisters and their families flew back down after 3 weeks for my mother's birthday this weekend. It's again an onslaught of Afrikaans conservatism. Should have gone to FC. 🫠

Oh no - not me vaguely asking things of my mom to find out what she knows about our plans for her birthday, only for my dad to answer for her and thereby spoiling it. πŸ™ƒ
