Today, I went shopping...

... again. I got some hand made mats and bowls and stuff for the apartment, and a pair of nice warm lamps that offset the sterile white of the fluorescent bulbs. I felt so good about the way things looked I took some piccies... and of course a video.









Happy Birthday daddy, Happy Birthday Shof! Miss you guys so much, can't wait till we're all together again on the beach, eating suya!

Love,

Shobo.

Shobo, your place looks awesome! I wish I could just hop right over and visit you! I especially love the plants. What are they? Beautiful succulents I suppose.
Have you been out of the city much and into the wilds of the area? I guess there aren't too many wild areas left though considering the population of the area.
Tim had moved out in November, but is now moving back (as I write this actually he has started his journey). He'll be back on Monday to give it another go at our relationship. He asked about you recently and I told him your blog address. I don't know if he ever checked it out, but I'll be sure to show him when he arrives.
I met your sister last fall. Ashley came to visit and brought a very multi-cultural group of girls-- one from Tibet, one from France, and of course your sis from Nigeria! We swam at Touch of Nature (sort of illegally) and got locked in. Ha, it was exciting.

Hi Miranda,

Actually I haven't got a clue what the plants are, I've definitely not got a green finger, even though I used to help my mom out in the garden all the time. I asked the people who sold me the flowers what they were and how to take care of them but they ... didn't know either.

There's quite a lot of untapped nature to look at, but I haven't had a chance to get out of the city yet since I tend to work a lot, even when I'm at home, plus I'm not one for exploring on my own, but I do plan on checking out some of the beaches sometime soon.

Glad you met the sis, she's a good gal, and I'm also pleased to hear you and Tim are giving it another go (I think he's a swell guy), I don't get to hear from Ashley too often I'm not kept abreast of what's going on on your end, but I suppose I've got a more direct conduit now through your blog.

Hugs to Ari!

You're welcome, wish I could'a been there, heard you had a nice little partay. Now if you'll just allow a little time for a belated birthday gift.

EDIT: Green THUMB was what I meant Miranda, not a green finger. That would just be a little gross.
