This is my new “baby”, Kairi. She’s an ornament molded from plaster of paris and was painted by a man that has a stall at the B&B Markets at Hillfox. I’ve gotten comments on Kairi, saying that she looks like she is made of metal, but really she is just made of plaster of paris and paint. This man paints these molds really well, I think! She looks a little different in the photo to the right, maybe it was the flash of my camera, I don’t know. Victor bought her for me yesterday afternoon. That was when we took his friends, Riaan and Tanya to Hillfox because they were going to meet up with another friend of theirs before heading back to Welkom. They didn’t know how to get to Hillfox, so Victor and I thought that we’d show them the way and take a look at the B&B Markets while we were there.

I hadn’t been to Hillfox for years; I don’t remember how old I was when I was last there… But I do remember that the last time I was there, a man had thrown his lit cigarette bud and it had landed on one of the toes of my right foot. I don’t know why I remember that… Anyway, it was nice to go there again.

We had Victor’s friends, Riaan and his fiancé Tanya over this past weekend. They stayed over from Friday night till yesterday afternoon. They are nice people but I just don’t like Tanya’s attitude. First she insulted me on my wanting to purchase a pair of white polka dotted black flat shoes while we were shopping at Clearwater Mall on Saturday night. Then after her raving about how “Adorable” the shirt that I was going to buy my niece for Christmas was, she comes up to me while I’m waiting in the queue and complains about how horrid the pink items I was buying as gifts were.

Oh and not to mention how she reacted to the little girl running down the corridor, yelling “Ah, ah, ah!” in Clearwater Mall. Tanya imitates herself strangling and shaking the child to death saying, “Ah, ah, ah… Oh wait isn’t that the noise they make when you stomp on them?!” And then she giggles. Also when I was looking for an outfit for my niece for Christmas, Tanya couldn’t help but go on and on about how she hated “The little brats” and that she doesn’t want any.

OK, Tanya! I get the point, you don’t want children; good for you. Now would you stop telling us how much you hate children every time you see one or something that is related to a child. It is fucking annoying to hear that more than anything else you happen to say!

I swear it’s like she could brainwash someone with the way she talks. Maybe she had already done that to Riaan because Victor says that before Tanya, Riaan used to really want children someday but now he doesn’t?

I wonder what, or should I say who changed his mindset…
