In the garden

Sun is shining and the cotton is high. Fish are jumping and cats are lying about in the garden. While we were out and about in the garden today, I saw these two little eyes staring at me from under the lavender bush. It was a boy cat lounging.

So off to Addis in Cape (my fav restaurant) for dinner tonight. Ethiopian!!!!

Lack of inspiration

So it looks like I have finally arrived at that point where I have nothing to rant (complain) about. I have run out of things to put on my blog. That is why I haven't been posting so often. Also I am feeling very uninspired. So just to let you all know, posts are going to be very few and far between.....

Weekend Walk

As some of you may or may not know, we are undertaking a very big hiking holiday at the end of the year. We are going to walk the Camino in Spain. Well half of it anyway. So we decided to start practicing for the walk by doing some of the walking trails around Cape Town. We started this weekend and did the contour path below table mountain. It was amazing with the most spectacular views of the city and the mountain, and the most amazing water stops along the way. Below are some of the pics.

They were the best!

School concert

Last night was my niec's school concert and lucky I was in town to see it. It was very funny to see and hear all the parents calling their children's names as they appear on stage. The 'productions' were very cute even though they were clearly done by amateurs. Here my niece is in their first number for the night. The best though were the grade 1 number with the cutest little guys dancing away.
