Mixed Emotions
At last the big days are over and most visitors to Cape Town had started the long way home to the interior. My guests included.Suddenly my house is my own again…
and empty!
And I’m all confused.
I don’t know what I really want. I could not wait for all to arrive but after a while I wished them away again. Now that everybody has left I miss them.
On Monday I will start working again. I could not wait for the time to come and now that it has, I dread it. What is it that I really want?
Have a great day.

Quite so.
And even our streets are quiet now.
Saw a piece of graffiti the other day which was promptly removed. It read: 'Welcome to Cape Town. Now go back home!'
Now you're talking. Why did I never think of that?
Do you think one of the female variety will be as effective?
Born in Natal but grew up in Parow.
Die plek het agteruit gegaan vandat ek daar weg is!
Was not asking for advice; merely expressing my feelings; the question was rhetoric.
You didn't hide away?
I suppose since next Monday,your emotions will be converted smoothly.
Yes my emotions is like the weather here in Cape Town where we can have all seasons in one day.
Yes, it has been more than two years; most of it unpaid. I happy to go back but doing nothing for so long has made me lazy.
Just going back for two months and then I will take an early retirement package.
I'm back after spending 2,5 weeks with my family. I love them and enjoy spending time with them and I love living on my own and having peace and quiet.
We all want different things and sometimes we have to make up our minds and either stick with it or change things.
I guess we cannot have our bread buttered on both sides.
where I come from I get the blame if the cat got kittens.
I like to think my life is a bundle of doors --- love to open them for new adventures
wishing you well for Monday----what colour door is that?
yes
I really don't feel like working anymore and have other plans now
You have been a bit in short supply too. Been away for a few days?
I'm not planning to open any doors for the next two months. I will just stand there until somebody asks me what I'm doing there.
dogs avoid my legs. I'm already marked.
Never mixed emotions
Then how would you feel to see your mother in law going over a cliff with your new uninsured car,
At my age I should be taking it one hour at a time.
Yes, that is the pity when our loved ones is far away. a short while of quantity iso quality.
I fear you won't get rid of me that easily. My job description for the last two months of my career will allow me ample time.
Oh me, oh my, oh my!
