7 August 2013
The last three days have been town days. On Sunday we when to visit an old friend of my mom's. They haven't seen each other for seventeen years. So they had a lot if catching up to do. I just sat back and listened to old stories of when my mom was a kid.
I brought along my skateboard to entertain myself whilst at their house. I landed most of my tricks, which was shocking because I haven't skated in while.
On Monday we called a taxi. We needed to go to town to do some shopping and get some diesel. This small blue car with tiger stickers on claimed to be from the eagle taxi services. Kyle and I found this amusing because eagle taxis should have eagle stickers on, not tiger stickers. I'm not sure if it is bad advertising, or brilliant advertising.
This little car could barely fit the three diesel containers and the four of us. I wasn't sure if we would fit the groceries in the car as well. My mom said we are not buying much so it will be fine. We have different ideas on "not buying much". My mom thinks a whole trolley from Pick 'n Pay, and more items from other little shops isn't much. I think she is a shopoholic.
With the diesel containers full and in the boot we had to put the 150 packets of "not much groceries" on our laps in the back-seat. On our way home the taxi driver, Sharon, told is about her pet birds and pet monkeys.
Yesterday we need to get diesel and some cigarettes for my parents drug abuse. That's when Sharon thought it was a good time to show us her monkeys. So our first stop was her house.
Her and her husband, Raymond, lived in Westbank. That place made Brakpan look good. They owned about five or six houses that they rented out. They gave us a tour of their house. They were very friendly people with a nice house, I just felt unsafe in that neighbourhood.
I try and spend an hour or two everyday skating, because with this life you can't always skate. Here at the derelict waterfront there is a great area to skate. There are bricks that I can jump over, stairs that I can jump off, and a mini ramp to go down. I have my own skate park!
