hello summer

Wetsuits, buckets, spades and boards were liberated from dark and dusky cupboards and every last one of them ended up in Surfer's Corner today.

I think Capetonians are ready for summer.

hello 2010

Last year this time I was on the beach celebrating the New Year with the rest of Cape Town.

Not happening today as the wind's howling.
Instead, I'm going to wash paw prints off walls later on.
And think about all that stuff one is supposed to think about on the first day of a new decade.
Like.... is this the year I will finally buy a stove? And will I learn the secret to keeping my indoor plants alive? And, will I ever finish the canvas primed and propped up against the wall in my lounge?
And *gasp* will I get around to finishing my quilt!? Oh please let it be so!

Anyway, enough of that heavy navel-gazing stuff.

Here are some pics from the so-early-we-didn't-even-brush-our-teeth walk that Debs and I did on the beach the other morning.It was blustery and overcast as most mornings have been lately. And bloody freezing.
Poor tourists.

 

Another gratuitous Max pic.

Happy New Year everyone!

Here's to a year filled with good times, great health

and peace.
Let there be lots of peace.

shameless bragging

A few weeks ago, one of the peeps at the Cape Town Tourism blog emailed to ask if they could use this pic...

I said yes. : )
Not that thrilled with how the photograph was reduced (it looks horribly pixely in places) but still, it's an honour.
