Time for another one

The whole point to a blog is posting to the darn thing as far as I understand it (yes, spot the n00b), so therefore, here's an update: not entirely an update for an update's sake since some things did happen worthy of my blog, but still excuse the boring bits for now (it'll get better towards the end of the year, I promise!)...

First off I am happy to report that I passed my Stellenbosch language skills test (a prerequisite for my application to Stockholm university) on the highest level (level 9, being an expert user of the english language, having an excellent command of the language). Congratulations can be sent to theh@can-u-believe-this-idiot.com.

Then I am also very excited about my England plans coming together slowly but surely: I have had very positive conversations with my English friends (please note, they insist that they are English, not British, not from the UK, but English - funny bunch these Poms I tell you) and have thus far already been invited to a real proper english roast in the english countryside (very very cool!) as well as having been offered accomodation at the Palace de Aldred (although apparently neither breakfast nor room service is included with this offer).

One outstanding issue of a very substantial diamond currently being held captive in London is also due to be settled shortly. Watch this space!

I haven't been to England since 1997 (I hear from reputable sources that London doesn't count as England, therefore the date of 1997), so it is probably about time that I just check up on the Poms again.

Now all that is left in respect of my England plans are to finalise the dates and book my eurostar ticket from Leuven, making it one (visit organised) down, two to go.

Enough rambling for one reader to digest, so off I go for now.

Till we meet again!
