makhulu says one of the calves keeps getting through the fence near the water drum. i told her we need to fix that gap properly then remembered i tied wire there myself in december and said it was sorted. so before i start giving university advice over the phone i need my cousin to send me a picture lol. could be the same place or the post next to it. im trying to draw that corner from memory and i know exactly where the stones are but not how far apart the posts stand. funny what stays in your head. i can see the calf looking at us from the wrong side already

she came past while the guys were buying amagwinya and called me by my name, not chef or businessman or all these titles they give me when they want credit. i was happy hey, too happy probably because i forgot whose change i was holding. then one guy started making wedding noises and she left quite quickly. now im irritated with him but also with myself because i laughed along instead of telling him to chill. sent her a message about the food like thats what i actually wanted to ask. she replied it was nice. two words and now im reading them like exam instructions

played till we couldnt see the ball properly and then everybody suddenly had excellent reasons why their last shot missed lol. my shirt was stuck to my back but the wind on the walk to res felt good, even the sweat going cold round my neck. i was starving before i reached the stairs. sat down to take my boots off and both calves went tight like they were still running, had to stretch my legs into the doorway while my roommate complained about access. new boots are finally feeling like mine though. no sliding inside when i turn, just me falling over my own feet now
