Let's see… Waited to vote till around dinner time when it would be quiet, and it took us less than ten minutes. Election went well, no drama, although a few voting stations ran out of ballot papers at one stage - planning, heh *eye roll*. And of course, people wandered in at the last minute because this is South Africa, we leave everything  till the last minute.

After we finished we went to pick up a few things at the shop. Flower seller lady who hasn't been around for a while was outside, we chatted a little, she told hubby to pick out a bunch of roses for me, her gift… so I have lovely yellow roses. 

Then I got home, had dinner, came online to relax and look around, and found that (only a little late *g*) red_lasbelin posted my birthday pressie at last!!!! It's an Erestor/Glorfindel fic titled The Look of Love --- HERE. Go read, it is GORGEOUS! Go read, go comment. Please? It's that rare thing, a rather unique E/G story, wonderfully sensual, richly textured, and will make you smile almost a much as it made me smile.

I've had a really good day :)

Shall look up Red's story - glad you're having a great day - and how sweet about the roses!

*hugs*

It was such a lovely surprise. I've put them in the kitchen which probably sounds strange but I spend so much time in there and seeing them makes me smile.

Sounds familiar to me, just change the country name (g)

Do they also all send in tax returns on the absolute final day and crash the website *g*? Sad thing here is no one was even slightly surprised.

We can pay taxes in banks too, so you see long queues, or people in their comps frantically trying to send their taxes... on the last day... (g)

Your process is such a vast undertaking, it's hard to get the mind round it. I've been fascinated by the discussion I've heard so far about it.

We have the vote about half counted now, but of course I live in the most closely contested province and they're having computer glitches and we won't get the final result here till tomorrow. However - it all went extremely well everywhere. The ANC of course has a huge majority nationally, it's mainly a matter of seeing how big and how the rest of the vote got shared out amongst the other parties. It's lovely that there's been a huge turnout though - no one can say this isn't the voice of the majority :)

Take care, dear.

I will go read that story this weekend, when I can concentrate on it.

Yay for civic responsibility. Good for you. :)
