still in transit + blog future

london
Yip, I'm still here, exploring the busses and trains and 'starbuckses' of London. I'm more here for the friends than the sights though, and have spent great times catching up with Bianca, Robin and Julie, Nikki and my aunt and uncle in Battersea. I had a most stimulating chat with Barry from high school, and am meeting another high school friend tonight for sushi. I'm staying with Charles until tomorrow when i fly HOME! It's been good to reconnect with the SA diaspora in London. It's been made even better by the fact that the sun has been shining.

blog
Now that the adventure is over, I'll keep this blog running. I'll have to change it a tad, maybe make it the State of G (G for god), and put some theology musings up. To imply that i know God's state may be a bit bold and arrogant though.
(Imagine it: "Today, God is feeling anxious about the wall in Palestine. God groans. Jesus lightens the mood with a joke about trees. The state of God will be back next week.")
We'll see. Now that i'm in SA, there are just as many peeps in the States that like updates too. So, it will go on, if a bit less frequent due to the lack of internet access at home.
Stay posted! Cheers... G
