Hamba Kahle - Ngiyabonga kakhulu



I am a firm believer that if you do not do something properly, you should not do it at all. I feel I am neglecting SprayGlue because of many reasons, the main being a lack of time to post good material. Unfortunately money talks and I have to walk. I am focusing on my freelance design, my surfing (that I am getting back into, I have to buy a longboard as my short board is just not cutting it), my family and amazing group of friends as well as general people watching and photography. I want to say a big thank you to a few people (please if I leave you out it is not because I don't care it is just because my memory and attention span go hand in hand), Heather Moore, Grace Bonney, Craig Parsons, Jessica Goldfond, JP, Christopher de Beer, Bovril and Banana toast, The Kings of Leon and most of all the guy/girl who invented post-it notes. But a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to look at SprayGlue and leave an amazing comment. To the people who left krap comments, I hate you a little.

Hamba Kahle - Ngiyabonga kakhulu

Love & Peace

This is a very sad day. I love your blog and am going to miss your lovely findings... I suppose I am just going to have to surf harder now, hey?

Well I don't know exactly who you are, and can't remember how I found your blog in the first place (and no I'm not creepy internet weirdo. Not completely anyway... I do have some real-life friends) but I've been subscribed to the feed since last year sometime and enjoy it very much! I will definitely miss your posts.

Cheers.

Sorry to see you riding off into the sunset. Do get in touch again sometime - it seems you dropped off the face of the earth a while back (have your email and mobile numbers changed? I've been trying to get in touch for ages).

Cheers,
Heather

How sad for you to go! I also find times where I'm neglecting certain things and feel like it's just not worth the measley time I put into it! Good luck!
