Today felt like the kind of Friday that everyone would be playing along with the aforementioned and agreed upon Cape Town Friday Rule. I was so confident of the feeling I had, that I woke up and went for the CLASSIC “secret cloud technique.” You know the one: when you have a joint BEFORE you shower and change for the day. So you don’t smell of weed and, with a small dose of eyedrops, no-one can tell the difference. Leaving YOU with an awesome day ahead of you! And I tell you what, that’s EXACTLY what I’ve been having!

First port of call was Vida e in Camps Bay, where Losh put together one of nature’s finest Cappucino’s for me. I basked in the sun on the pavement as I skimmed over today’s Cape Times school project. It was cutely written and most notable was the article mentioning the fact that the Pope does not wear Prada, as previously reported. The Vatican responded to these claims and summerised with the quote, “The Pope, in summary, does not wear Prada, but Christ.” Interesting. Knowing how much money The Vatican has, one would assume this brand is something of a bespoked, high-end exclusive tailor. I’ve never seen any of Christ’s range, but will admit that The Pope certainly does have a dapper vibe going.

I hit the road and continued The Cape Town Super Circuit. It seems other people had not embraced this day in the same way as me, and the road was saturated with bad energy. Most notable was the unprecendented sighting of not one, but TWO pretty fierce road accidents. One outside Caprice and one outside the Sea Point pool. I think I know some people who haven’t been managing their karma very well.

It’s just too Hectique! for me. These nasty Friday moments further enhanced my need for a car and driver. Of course, the notion would need to be followed through properly. I remembered today’s R750 million lottery jackpot and drove my car, possibly for the last time, directly to Future Exotics!

Whilst Cape Town’s number one coffee outlet, Vida e, has some outstanding views at the Camps Bay branch, I thoroughly enjoyed this view as I sipped a cappucino at the Future Exotics store at the Waterfront. I can confirm that I have found the first toy I will be buying once I’ve won the R750 million. I took a little pic for you. Please enjoy the Rolls Royce Phantom with me.

Mmm, I like that, and so will YOU when I pick you up in it. At only R4.4 million it would be foolish not to snap this up. I had a good look at this baby and noted the blinds inside the back windows. ACTUAL blinds. Old school. My style. The staff at Future Exotics were also VERY MUCH my style and I can confirm they have the hottest staff out of any shop in Cape Town. FACT. I’d definitely recommend stopping by for a coffee and a perve *ahem* of the cars.

That was more than enough. I finished my cappucino, skipped the rest of the Cape Town Super Circuit, came back to the Safe House and bought 5 more tickets to the lottery.

It’s been a good Friday..
