neighbour
tres bon maison has a few minor quirks - such as that the gate to the complex is on strike. this morning, whilst shaving, i notice the neighbour return from a walk with the dogs (yeah the bathroom window overlooks the complex entrance). i made myself presentable in seconds and raced downstairs to introduce myself. mission was to enquire about the laminated print that is attached to the complex gate (note arrived yesterday), politely requesting to keep it closed! strange? no, not at all: the automation aspect of the gate is broken. well, actually the motors aren't there at all - on face value it looks like a case of south african "redistribution".
long and short of the story is that Jo is very nice and happen to know people from my Firm - small world! she's sent an email to the powers that be requesting for the gate to be fixed.

miracles
this morning a little miracle happened - rachel pitched up. albeit slightly late thanks to a road block on rivonia rd. tres bon maison was in a rather respectable state, given the week from hell I've had to survive (4hrs ave sleep per night thanks to work) but rachel has a magic influence! nice. everything is becoming squeaky clean - as if by magic. angles exist!

très bon maison
life is a strange thing > every now and then the combination of preparation and opportunity create what we know as "luck"!
as it is, I've recently struck it lucky. amazing how the world can conspire. this is the blog of The Mansion! that I'm currently house sitting... here we'll report back on the status and events of the The Mansion! happy times!
I took occupation around 23:15 on 26.07.08 - a bit of a mission in itself, as I've never been here b4 that and the automatic gate is out of order, hence driving up and down the road whilst frantically pressing the gate remote button didn't yield a satisfactory result!
it's a humble abode, however fully furnished with some minor luxuries - most of which are being duly ulitised.
keep on reading, there's a whole lot of fun on the horizon
