Glimpses of some place else

Mmmm, so I haven't blogged for SO long. Oopsy!
I must get the urge to blog everytime I go into Addiscombe High street, coz I'd been there just before I blogged last time!
Anywho, yeah, today's given me a real snap shot/glimpse of some other places. I was in school this morning, I did 2 assemblies with the boss; one secondary, one primary. After the secondary we had a 'meeting' with the Headteacher and we got a glimpse of life in his shoes. Was a real eye opener. Then in the primary, at the end some of the kids were waving and saying bye. I thought about it for a second and it took me back to south africa, the friendliness and love of the black kids and guess what? These 2 kids this morning were black!
Yeah, so I've figured I've glimpsed a lot recently... watched the 'Take That' documentry last week and was actually really moved by what Robbie Williams said about giving anything to swap his life for Gary Barlow's (he has wife & kids). Mmm, he needs loving!
So there's my bunch of random thoughts....

You know...

You know you're missing South Africa when...
... you see a bag of sweets and immediately think it could be biltong
... you're still thinking about what you did this time last week
... you still have all the concert pieces floating around in your head
... you wake up and expect to be sharing a room with 2 other people
... you walk round the corner and half expect to see half of Croydon Music Service
... you get excited at the prospect of seeing anyone from tour
... you can't wait for the post tour concert
... you miss eating ostrich meat despite being vegetarian
... you look at the chocolate in shops half expecting to see 'astros' and 'tempo bars'
... you're already looking at flight prices for next summer
... your head is clearly still out there from October half term
... your heart is clearly out there in August next year
