lately

I have a whole lot of “lately” to catch up on. Things got a little hectic with the last couple of days I had left in London, and being back in the sunny South Africa, with job hunting and six months worth of catching up with friends and family.

A bunch of exciting things happened to me in the last couple of months. I became aunt for the third time. I wish I could say I adopted a cat, but my best friend did, and I had a lovely week of “cat-sitting”, which made me really want one of my own. I got to spend new years with the friends that I love and later in the year I also had the chance to go the the Chinese New Years festival in Bronkhortspruit, completely new and exciting experience for me, but I’ll do it again in a heart beat! Also, I got a couple of freelance graphic design gigs, which I’m more than happy with and can’t explain how overwhelming it was to realize that I am now my own boss and I can use my own creativity to do what I love. Bonus: and make some money.  Overall it’s been a really good couple of months and I’m happy to be where I am in my life.

This is some photos from my phone to show what I’ve been up to lately.

I’m happy to be back in South Africa, but it won’t be right if I don’t admit that I really do miss London most days.
