Went up on the mountain today. Took a couple of photos. Of trees.
Then, rather than blogging this afternoon, I made some superb burgers and we cooked them on the braai, just as nature intended.
Seriously, it’s every cow’s dream to end up in a 6k burger.
And, having tasted them, I can completely understand why.
What a way to go…
We were out early for Alex’s karate kumite in Camps Bay this morning. He punched and kicked his way to a gold medal, including a stunning victory over a visiting Afrikaans blue belt from the Boland. It wasn’t xenophobic though. Technically, he was allowed to attack him, that’s what they were there for.
On the way back, we detoured up Signal Hill and took pictures of mountains, sculptures and shipping. The Queen Mary 2 is in Cape Town until this evening, and she’s always worth a look see. The conditions were near perfect – ok, if anything, a little too bright – and we shot lots on our various devices: some of the results of which can be seen in this flickr album.
Now, having filled the intervening period with painting the braai and mending the lawn (riveting stuff, I know), I’m off for a quick Everton v Burnley.
There may also be cold beer involved. And who could blame me?
We live in a beautiful world. Yes we do. Yes we do.
And I happen to live in one of the more beautiful bits.
Here’s Table Mountain showing off in NatGeo’s pic of the day.
That’s Table Mountain in front of you in Brendon Wainwright’s shot. Camps Bay is to the right, the City Bowl to the left and, over the shoulder of Devils Peak, the Southern Suburbs.
It’s nice, isn’t it?
I’ve uploaded a few photos of (what is, I think) a Golden Orb Spider onto Flickr.
It’s built a huge web in the back garden and has captured several (or more) flies, which it is storing for later.
It also has a scary zombie-monster face on its back. Which is nice.
Amid the classless UCT students invading a council meeting, and international news channels reliving the Boston marathon bombing, at least there was this photo to amuse us today:
Mad Bob never looked so appealing. Don’t miss the earrings. Lol.
