Cape Town Blues

Monday mornings... are they truly blue? Sometimes we have to wonder... But on rainy days like today, we can't but help feeling blue ourselves? Don't get me wrong - I'm a down to earth guy who loves life! I'm not too emotional (except with my family) - so I'm not too into the down and out hype of Monday's... But at times.. You know...


Felt like dead weight getting up today. Felt okay at first, but as soon as I got into the car my energy levels disappeared like the mist before me... Needless to say my only passenger - the wifey - wasn't too happy with me...


But what made my Monday blue was not this - no... what made it blue was the fact I got into Town and guess what - I had to struggle to find parking! Yes, I've got a little spot in the Bo-Kaap where I can rest my wheels while I'm at work - but even here it was full! And to crown it off you see open spaces only to find a loading zone or red line drawn... what is the City of Cape Town thinking? In a residential area?


Okay - there are general parking areas closer to work. They have made provision for this. However, at R5-50 per 30 minutes I'm not sure if I wanna work for parking expenses... Amounts to roughly R88-00 per day! Imagine!
