Such great heights

Leave Sutherland early to stay over in Belair Country Home in Paarl. SINGING LOUDLY in the car! Beautiful. Open outdoors shower, lie down on the massage bed under the trees and sleep. Lying on the grass by the pond, trip around the Spice Route, dinner at the pizzeria, outdoors, watching the sun set over Table mountain. The discussion, shouting and tears. More discussions lying by the pool, full english breakfast in the french dining room, pack up and head to the TAAL MONUMENT! AT LAST! Picnic on the grass by the monument, then home. Little Cat is missing :(


Yoga class with Nes at Source, hike in Kenrock to look for LC. No luck :(

Shopping in Tyger valley, far far away. THE CAT RETURNS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.

Squash defeat from both sides! Christmas shopping done and dusted. SURFING GLORY. Big Bay the Whole day. Sunburn included. Dinner with Nes and R and mom - Nandos! Listening to piano in the bath.

Space shuttle to the stars

Kirstenbosch lunch, administrative affairs at home. Edward Hopper Cafe almost done! With Bernard's help. Caropoly with nes and R in the study! Ideas for Caropoly 2.0... Sunday surfing attempts on Long Beach. Prawn curry. SPACE SHUTTLE. BEACH DESSERT! Edward Hopper Cafe done! Skype video chat with Esh. Awesome yoga with Catherine! Christmas shopping, Edward Hopper photoshoot. Misunderstandings and tempers flaring over text.


Drive to Sutherland!! (Nes neck spasm) Stop at AQUILA game reserve for a night. Game drive! Leave for Kambrokind Skrywershuisie a day early - accidentally land on gravel road that takes double the time (but is prettier!) Pee in the veld. Sutherland, lamb shank, the SALT and the SAAO observatories, star gazing, sitting on the stoep.

Hoe ek voel

Pescarne restaurant in HoutBay with R, Nes and mom. Squash with mom! Llandudno beach boulder climbing to get the best view of the huge waves.

Hoe ek voel. Kayaking in Sea Point with KasKazi. Saw small dolphins and seals UP CLOSE (like 3 meters away). Found M in the water. Shopping with Nes in Cavendish and then in The Point! Boxing gloves. Yoga and more yoga. The 'dialogue' at the yoga center. Beau Constantia winery, cheese board, canapes and Lucca wine.

Unhappiness over lack of time spent together with my girl. Better now!



Pool, squash, kickboxing at the gym.

Out of this world: Rosetta lands on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

The Cape of Good Hope

Edward hopper cafe. Sick in bed for the day. Menlyn, builders warehouse, atterbury value mart metro, face cloths, braai, the emphasis that has shifted. It feels diferent. Talking to my gran, visiting V, Wolfpack with J and C. Dad and The Immigrant. Helen visiting twice. Ocean basket with Ouma. Ruby’s haberdashery, new kettle, new multiplug, Oupa the railway architect. Visitng V again to make up for Saturday's feeling ill.
I want to be stronger. Sharper. I want to be my gran at the core.
Landing in the fair cape. Mom and nes at the airport! SURFING in Big Bay. View of Table Mountain. Sangria.
