That Great Big Fire In The Sky

2 Mar

If you live in Cape Town you would believe me if I tell you it’s been so flippen hot here that it’s almost impossible to do anything during the day.

Yes folks, we sit at work in out hot pants and we melt in front of our laptop’s… not cool!

I fancy myself a bit of a photographer and if you know me you’ll also know that the pictures I take are breathtakingly beautiful.

I moved down to Cape Town a couple of months ago and I haven’t regretted it since.I miss the incredible thunder and lightning storms we had up there but that’s about it!

So, my Jelly bear and I went to our local spot for some drinks and to watch that great ball of fire disappear into the sea…

 

Sunset Over The Atlantic

 

Now why would I want to move back to Pretoria?

Cat Fight Gets Nasty In Big Bay

13 Jul

I live in a really cool complex in Big Bay Cape Town. Its right off Blouberg Beach and I get some stunning views of the sea and Table Mountain and Robben Island and of course every single Cape Town Sunset.

One of the things I really enjoy about the place I live is how that have catered for nature. We have a green belt behind our complex which is teeming with wildlife. Shit I even have a Falcon who perches on my windowbsill most days, eyeing out the field mice (and crapping all the way down the newly painted wall, much to the delight of the painting contractor). Also lately there has been family of wild cats living off the land behind our spot.

Cats are pretty cool, I mean how cool is this cat? (Thanks Amy)

I'll have a decaf skinny latte with foam and make it snappy mofo! This is my spot sort it out.

So you can imagine my dismay when I found this in my letter box.

Cat Psychos working the system

Cat Psychos working the system

It’s a letter from some somewhat aggressive cat junkies on my Estate. Unbelievably these people are having serious issues about a non event. You see I actually know some of the people involved, and this letter is written by two people who’s ‘cats can do no wrong’. That means that a) Their cats shit doesnt stink, b) their pissing on the neighbours front step is a condoned practise and c) they have nothing to do with the army of stray cats we now have living in the green belt behind our complex.

All this in a ‘No Pets Allowed’ complex.

Heres a transcript.

Cat owner? Fed up with the intimidation and threats? Worried for your cat?

Let’s get together for Coffee and a chat and see how we can unite and protect our beloved furbabies against the psycho on this estate who is threatening to ‘take care’ of our cats. Unlike this psycho who will not leave his/her name, we are not cowards. There are four of us already.

Suzanne and Hilary at (number deleted) Please call. You will be glad you did.

Wow! Thats just plain disturbing! The worst thing is that there are four of them already!

These are the days of our lives.

Why It’s So Important To Have Sundowners

9 Jun

So here I am sitting at work wondering whether I should go to gym or not.

Now it’s really important to have a good balance in life, something not too easy when it’s chucking down in Winter all the time. So when you get a chance to go for Sundowners you need to grab it!

It’s been such a fantastic day and work has been bearable, I bought myself some new clothing too, so all round its good. So while I was contemplating the thought of gym versus Doodles Beachfront for Sundowners, I glanced sidways out of my office window and got this snap…

It’s a no brainer really.

After all it is Tuesday and it is happy hour and they do have winter specials on the go.

Just to really double check if it is winter I cast a glance all ’round, not a cloud in sight…

Go for sundowners Joe go for Sundowners NOW!!
