I did more driving last night then I have since 2011 began...
A-B (Sandton to Illovo): Fetch Ethan and take him to Illovo to his dads house. He convinces me to help him with his homework so we sit in the car outside the flat doing maths crosswords. Fun. This makes me rather late so I try to rush from...
B-C (Illovo to Randburg): to get home but alas, get stuck in traffic. Get home and frantically try to get ready to make it out by 8pm. Get a phone call with a weeping son on the other end telling me that I need to bring him his spare school shorts as he has left his at school (AARRGGHH!). Give up trying to make myself look presentable.
C-D (Randburg to Illovo): Jump in the car and race back to Illovo... ignoring all speed limits and robots. Get there in record time. Hand deliver the shorts and jump back in the car. Try to find point E in the map book (shit, I really need GPS!)... have no idea were I'm going by head of anyway.
D-E (Illovo to Douglasdale): Stop at a garage and ask for directions. Think it sounds pretty simple. It's not. Spend the next 20 or so minutes driving up wrong roads, doing u-turns and tearing my map book apart trying to find this place.
BUT after all that... I got there almost an hour late... gulped down my wine... relaxed and enjoyed some good company, good pasta, good wine, good music (impressive guitar skills) and even got to lay my eyes on some DSTV! Thanks :)
