After seeing the aftermath of a pretty nasty accident outside the towing firm near our lab:
…I was delighted to learn that a new organic airbag is being installed on BMW cars.
Good thinking.

Hometown Prettiness
While we’re suffering the slings and arrows of the outrageous thirties, the UK has had a horrible, horrible winter. Much of which has been beautifully documented by flickr user karl101.
These are two of my favourites, snowy foggy view and ferris with moon, but his whole photostream is well worth a (long) look.
Early morning…
I pulled back the bedroom curtain this morning to reveal a beautiful peachy cloud-topped Table Mountain, glorious blue skies and a moon handily placed so as to balance the left hand side of the vista.
It seemed rude not to share.
Must get those trees trimmed…
Bigger here.
Wedded bliss
We’re off to a wedding this afternoon. Attending weddings is becoming a more unusual pastime as most of our friends have already tied the knot already. In fact, I’ve had to have a scroll through Flickr to try and work out when the last one was.
It turns out that it was nearly two years ago at Morgansvlei near Tulbagh. The weather that day was superb and it looks like today’s events in Noordhoek will be equally sunny. It should be a great evening.
Incidentally, Mrs 6000 and I are not so far from our own 5 year anniversary. I mentioned this to a friend and he said that in that case, we were also not that far from the 7 year itch and we should watch out. I assured him that neither my wife nor I suffer from any chronic skin conditions and that he must be mistaken.
Anyway, I’m sure it’s nothing that a anti-histamine and a hefty dose of penicillin can’t sort out, right?
Struisbaai slideshow
We’re back, having set a new record for the Struisbaai – Cape Town run and we’ve ordered pizza.
I would love to wax lyrical some more about the wonder of the Southern Cape, but I am hungry and tired and so I’m going to let the photos speak for me.
It was a great weekend, but I’m going to be happy to be back in my own bed this evening.
You know how it is.
