Crabs!

Crabs!

Crabs!

While walking in the Majik Forest a friend and I came across two 16- or 17-year-old boys who were taking a break from their cycle trip by catching crabs in the little stream that runs the length of the forest. This is what 16- or 17-year-old boys do.

Do you remember catching crabs? Wasn’t it fun?

No crabs came to harm during the shooting of this photo. ;)

Although it may look that way, I don’t think the arrow sign was placed here to draw drivers’ attention to the stop sign. :)

And, if you were wondering, those aren’t bullet holes – they seem to be old mounting holes. I presume these signs were either moved here from another location or that they were simply remounted on new brackets.

Doesn’t the title of this post sound like that of a school reader? You know, those books that taught you how to read? Do you remember Dick and Jane? :)

I found these two and their mom in the Company’s Gardens in Cape Town. As I’ve whined before, it’s been exceedingly hot in Cape Town this past week, so don’t you think it nice of their mother to take them to the gardens for a dip?

It’s been maddeningly hot in Cape Town for the last three days. Temperatures have exceeded 35°C – and in fact, right now it’s 37°C in my neighbourhood! Take a look at our page the lists real-time weather conditions.

I wonder how this tortoise feels about being out in the sun, and if it’s perhaps preferable to be cold-blooded on days like this.

Blonde was such an awesome restaurant – it’s really a shame that it seems to have closed down. I checked their website and it appears now to redirect to the parent company’s site. Still, a lovely mural, don’t you think?
