Not feeling 100%, despite last night’s early slumbers and no proper symptoms of anything. Hot flushes, TATT, bit breathless from time to time, slightly sniffly. But nothing really nasty. Just a bit… off.
Still, real life must go on, and we had that Home Affairs appointment this morning. It went well: all done within about an hour, which is a remarkable turnaround time for that notorious government department. But it wasn’t really “smooth”. More like some sort of somewhat organised chaos. Still, this was a much better result than we had expected, so much applause for that.
And then, trying to take it easy. A bit of shopping because we had nothing to eat in the house. A bit of carwashing before the Cape Agulhas Municipality come looking for whoever stole what can only be described as “really quite a lot” of their dirt roads. Some wailing and gnashing of teeth as two of the people on my Youtube subscriptions list (it’s off to the right there) were gifted a quarter of a million Rands worth of camera (each) and a phat budget (each) to go to Sweden and the Faroe Islands respectively to test it out.
I mean, I say a quarter of a million Rands: that’s obviously only if you could find stock of it anywhere in the world.
As corporate gifts go… Mmm.. Not bad.
And finally in this rather disjointed post: updated Google Streetview locations for 80 countries are on their way, which will mean updated Geoguessr locations for those 8- countries in the very near future.
And – possibly more relevant – four new Google Streetview countries, which will add to the Geoguessr challenge: Bosnia and Herzegovina (how will you distinguish it from Montenegro?), Namibia (Botswana/Northern Cape vibes?), Liechtenstein (this will look a lot like Switzerland, I think), and Paraguay (I have no idea, but I’m rubbish on South America anyway).
