Building update

It's almost 3.3opm on Friday afternoon, on the day that the building trade breaks up for their Christmas holidays, here in Cape Town. However, the workmen disappeared before lunch!


So, what about that perimeter fence they were building? Well the wall directly in front of our apartment looks exactly the same as it did at this time last week. However, on the other side of the building there has been a little progress:


With the building trade closed until into January, this is how it will remain for the next few weeks and there's nothing that can be done to change it.

On a more positive note, this is how the first floor looks today, with the building clean and furniture in place.

I asked Andy why the tables have holes down the centre - for computer cables, of course!

All that remains now is for a few plants dotted around and pictures on the walls, to make it look less sterile, and that all important ingredient - staff! There are in fact lots of staff working in the basement and on the second floor, where the studios are located.

This is Michael, who has been working away, for days, in the server room, making those vital studio connections - what a star!
