… utterly exhausted.
It’s been a fantastic week away, and today was an absolute gem at the Southern Tip. We built towers:
And now we’re back in the land of the internet, I’ll get the photos up.
After I’ve had a decent sleep.

Fudge
I always wanted to have my own cookery blog. I once asked a foodie about being a foodie and he told me that it’s tremendously cool to be a foodie. And there’s no ambivalence in foodie circles. They either love each other or they hate each other. No middle ground.
I think I’d be good at such dramatic extremes. I just need to pick the right side to be on.
Anyway, while I’m doing that, and with it being Tynwald Day (roughly the Manx equivalent of yesterday’s American Independence Day in layman’s terms, I guess), here’s a recipe I devised copied from a conveniently hung Manx calendar.
I haven’t actually tried it, but at the end of the day, it’s fudge, so even if it ends up as a sloppy mess, it’s going to taste pretty amazing, right?
Now, foodie friends, I can tell you’re impressed, so gather round and worship at your new-found altar.
Bring fudge.
Go Large
Castle Larger. For those moments when a Castle Smaller simply isn’t enough.
As spotted at Black Oystercatcher Wines earlier today. I heartily recommend their Triton red: the larger the better.
Unfinished Business
I have had literally no emails asking for a progress report on the lighthouse work at Cape Agulhas (see blog posts passim).
Still, that’s not going to stop me and since Cape Agulhas Tourism attempted to update us on how things were going earlier and since I was passing just now, I thought I’d let you know that they appear to have finished the tower and it looks very smart.
The rest of the building (including the balcony around the actual light, as you can see) is still under repair. No-one seems to know what they’re actually doing or how long things are going to take, and the general feeling is just “watch this space”.
So… er… just watch this space, I guess.
Consider yourselves informed.
Toto…
…I don’t think we’re in Africa anymore.
There’s something wrong with this, isn’t there?
Google Maps seems to have gone a bit Apple if it thinks that the Southernmost Tip of Africa is actually some distance into the ocean.
This could lead to all sorts of confusion with continents and countries claiming to be bigger than they actually are: North Korea Syndrome, I think it’s called.
Anyway, we were there yesterday (the Southernmost Tip, not North Korea):
…and we left with dry feet, so today’s lesson is not to believe everything that Google Maps tells you.
