Lazy Friday

Today is Friday. Which is very similar to a Sunday in the old South Africa. The lights are turned off and the the streets rolled up and sent to the dry cleaners. Well not quite - after midday prayers everything returns more or less to normal. Most people work a six day week, so Friday is your only day off. Yesterday I got hold of some biltong. In SA you'd probably be quite blase about it, but there's not too much of it around. Today, on this day of rest, we sat and ate a kilo of biltong, a kilo of droewors and a kilo of chilli bites while watching kak on TV. Now I'm really really thirsty and I've been asked to go buy some chocolate to get rid of all the salt and cholesterol.
