Easy Exile

Doug came to visit with his pet Burmese Python

The awesome thing about leaving your own country is that you can reinvent yourself thanks to the anonymity the new country provides. I think this was one of the best things I liked about living in the UK because, where I live in SA, people know me and worse yet, they know about me. The bad thing about this is that it makes it bloody hard for you to change yourself because people naturally want other people to fail. I think this is why the human race is such a successful species.

Hang on, I wanted to make a quick post about going back to the UK.
Her Majesty’s Home Office has deemed me fit to return and I’ll be heading for the Mud Island this coming Wednesday the 27th of January. I’ll lie if I said I didn’t enjoy my stay in South-Africa, even if all my time spent this month has been to catch up with friends, family and sorting out loads of crap that’s accumulated the past three and a half years in my absence. Highlights have certainly been trivial things like breaking all kinds of minor traffic laws thanks to the great lack of enforcement people enjoy in this country, being constipated from the masses of meat my diet consisted of, spending time with my Dads, the awesome weather and playing with our dogs every day.

Right, I’m off to sort more shit and see more friends whom I’ve neglected in my exile, then I’m heading back home, to the UK………
