A great afternoon walking along the beaches of Kommetjie.
Obviously, lighthouse:
Wildlife:
Less obviously, a Cape Gannet made of driftwood:
But why not?
Blue skies, sunshine, “strong breeze”, and a nice coffee before heading North again.
Lovely afternoon out.
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!
A couple of hours in the sun at Kirstenbosch this afternoon, before the upcoming Matthew Mole concert made things loud and busy.
A few lizards and mice around. Plenty of birds, including a rather hungry Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) and some very pretty, very dainty Black Saw-wings (Psalidoprocne pristoptera)
A few kilometres and some very nice fresh air was just what I needed after an unexpectedly boozy evening out last night and a very necessary lie-in this morning.
Now it’s back to real life with some household chores and a bit of FA Cup football.
I did an awful lot more physical work than I was expecting to today, and I’m fully knackered.
So please accept this quota survey/map as today’s blog post.
I won’t be doing another survey like this for a while now: it’s silly to break an international court order.
In a bit of a rush today, so have this, which did make me chuckle.
Stew for dinner.
And possibly some innocent forest animals saved from a knife-wielding bunny.
