Quota SRBH

Posted on

Not feeling 100% this evening, and a Sheffield United match to look forward to (?) very shortly, so I’m chucking a quick quota photo up here.

It’s a Southern Red-Billed Hornbill (Tockus rufirostris) on a Mopani tree, taken from the infamous Kruger National Park visit back in August 2023.

I’ve had reason to go through a few of the images from that trip (and others) recently, and so something from one of those folders was an easy choice when it came to picking a pic for a quick blog post this evening.

Onward and upward to tonight and tomorrow. Hold thumbs, cross fingers.

Barn

The weekend away was superb. Thanks for asking.

Lots of fresh air, lots of football, lots of friendship, lots of amazing food and drink.

A lot of fun.

The views… Wow.

Like something off a movie set.

And I even managed a couple of morning runs, including one past this barn, which I couldn’t resist stopping and shooting.

OK. Nothing hugely special.

Just full of character, and surely with many, many stories to tell…

Back to it tomorrow

Still reeling a bit from a week away, and all the admin and work that greets you on your return home. A lot of clothes washing, a lot of removing the Breede River Valley from my car. Just an all around catch up.
But I think we’re just about there now. Although, I’m just about to go away for another 4 days, so maybe I’ll have to do it all again next week.

On the plus side, I will have a safer car to get there in, having had some nice wheel alignment done this morning. Always equal parts reassuring and concerning when you can very much tell the difference.

So let me leave you with a nice quota photo of the Breede River at sunset.

Almost makes you want to go back.

Which you can’t, because we were the last public group on this camp. And Felix Unite on the Breede is very much no more. Sad.

Just in case…?

It’s been a busy day, and things are only likely to get busier from here. There’s some parenting to be done and then a football match to play.

And so – just in case I don’t find the time to put pixel to screen a little later – here’s a lovely little cartoon I was sent recently.

I make no apologies for sharing this. It’s simple, harmless, extremely corny fun.

And right now, I need to go and find boots and a kit so that I can be prepared for this evening’s – thankfully cooler than last week (it’s 29oC today) – match.

Laters!
