Service with a smile
South Africa's one of the few places where there are simply no self-service filling stations. And, this is something we could change - but then, thousands of people would be out of jobs, so we're content to keep the status quo.

And, if an attendant ever asks you if you want "the green mamba" or "creme soda", he's referring to 95 octane lead-free petrol. The first two in this photo are of the green mamba or creme soda variety.

Noisy scary kiddies
I watched the gulls playing in the One and Only hotel's guest pool for about 15 minutes. Nobody else was around and they were having a marvelous time; well, until a family of running-screaming-laughing kids arrived - which is why they're making a run for it in this photo. Speaking of making a run for it, I wonder what birds would say - "make a flap for it"? :)

Surfing season is coming!
Now, I'm not a surfer, but with surfing season comes long days and warm evenings - a reprieve from the season of cold 'n rain. The sun has started rising slightly earlier and set slightly later. Only a few minutes - but this turning point in the calendar is really important for us winterphobes. :)

Not the Table Mountain I remember
It's been dreary and wintry for a while now, and I haven't been keeping an eye on that Table Mountain thing we have here in Cape Town, but can it really have changed this much?! I'm sure it used to be bigger than that. :-/
