So… my leave has finally come to an end. I never take my leave for durations of longer than two weeks at a time. I just get SO bored the last few days even if it is just two weeks; also I fear not being able to get back into the swing of things when it’s time to return . See, Anastacia enjoys her sleep and would like nothing other than waking up at 11am daily, chill in bed on my laptop until say 12pm when the hunger kicks in, eat something and then go chill outside, lay in the sun, in my hammock, surf the net on my laptop until say 2pm…do you see where this is going? Nowhere yes. Unproductive, Inactive, Idle minded, Wasted.

Today is Saturday 4 October 2008; to think that today was the first day I started working at the university back in 2002. Six years of accumulating half my annual leave left me with some compulsory leave to take this year. Which explains my feelings of boredom now because I already had my leave in May this year to visit my mother up in Johannesburg.

I remember that day, Friday 4 October 2002 as if it were just last week. They wanted me to start working earlier but I already had a hike planned for that week. The ‘Die Hell‘ trail was my last BIG hike that I done since and I really wish to get back into that.

So Monday its back to the hell hole for me. I was contemplating whether or not I should get the preparation work started or not but instead I chose to have some more me time.

By the time that you read this post, I will be rocking the daisies out of their roots in Darling. This is the second annual eco-friendly music festival but it will be a first for me to attend. The bands/artists that I look forward to seeing are 340ml, 7th Son, Eagle Eye Cherry, Tidal Waves and much more.

On Monday I went shopping with @ch00n to Builders Warehouse and picked up all sorts of crafty things there. This included mosaic tiles, the glue, clear varnishing paint, wood, paint brushes, fabric. . .you will have to wait and see what ideas have been sparked hence the urge for all those materials…
We also popped in at Game Stores to pick up the much needed camping gear for the Rocking the Daisies Festival. Had this been a Vortex we were attending, I don’t think we would have opted to buy an eco-friendly camping stove. The Bio-ethanol gel is poured into the stove and lit and is flammable but eco-friendly.

As any other blogger, geek, web addict on this planet would do (assuming), if they were to go to a camp they take along their laptops…so then these questions would be raised:

1) How do you power it up if your laptop if the battery life has depleted? an inverter of course

2) How would you connect to the internet?  #Skyrove wifi connection …

3) How would you charge the cell phone, (flip stop asking me SO many questions!) Wind up torch and cell battery charger if need be

So enough of this blogging thing already cause this post is making me even later to get to the festival … I’m posting at 4pm so that I can really be there by the time you read this … We taking the Elantra so wish us luck in actually getting there cause I hate this car! AND IT JERKS! but its taken us to Durban and back many times…so ya…crossing fingers..
