On Friday we went to the annual (Portuguese) Lusito Land festival in the south of Jo'burg. As usual, we spent most of the night at the eternally popular Salsa Bar, gorging ourselves silly on prawns & espatadas, & getting totally schmangled on Caipirinhas A bunch of cunts tried to steal Wanda's bag from under the table, but luckily she had the strap twisted round her ankle. Chris & Thys managed to catch the main culprit, dragged him outside & proceded to give him the hiding of his life, before handing him over to the cops & laying charges. Unfortunately beatings like this are pretty much all the punishment that opportunistic pricks like this ever get. The state of the legal system in our country is kinda fucked, & unless victims take charge of the situation with a bit of vigilantism as & when the chance arises, wrongdoers are usually in & out of jail within 24 hours, often getting away with murder - literally.
At the end of the evening (the festival closes at 10pm every night), I ended up initiating a very drunken "charge of the light brigade" on the ladies' loos with 3 other equally desperate women in tow. The cops & bouncer dudes were NOT impressed. The one asshole even grabbed me by the arm whilst threatening to arrest me, but I wasn't having any of it. I mean, c'mon!! How the hell can you stop someone from using a public toilet - especially after she's paid her R40 entrance fee to use the facilities After the festival, Obed (our driver for the night) took us to a place called "88", on Grant Avenue in Norwood. Unfortunately it turned out to be a bit too pretentious for our liking (reminded me a lot of the clubs you get in Cape Town, actually), & it wasn't long before we ended up heading home to "club duvet"...zzzzz.....
The rest of the weekend has - I am pleased to say! - been a LOT more tame & civilsed. Yesterday we spent most of the day watching telly & sleeping off our hangovers. Today we went & had lunch at Chris's place (he sounds very keen to come aboard my Edge Models venture as a partner / investor, so we needed to "talk shop"), & watched the San Marino GP on his giant rear-projection TV. We then came home & spent 3+ hours "playing house" - moving our bedroom to the room downstairs & our study to the loft room upstairs. My back is now pretty sore
Better get going now. Got a 5am start tomorrow & need to rest me weary bones.
Sleep tight, everyone!! Love you lots
PS. Just some pix I thought you might appreciate. This is the luscious Gisele Bundchen - favoured Victoria's Secret model & Leonardo Di Caprio's ex - now going out with surfer Kelly Slater...YUM
