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?

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…

A Cape Town Winters Day - Big Sky Over Table Mountain

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!!

Yes my Sun.

The other day my mate Tamryn and I were sitting having Doodles Sundowners, with our regular REALLY crap view and awful lifestyle, when she snapped some cool pics. So I thought I’d post them now seeing as we are in the grips of the first winter cold front of Doom and this place certainly isn’t feeling like paradise today. It normally is, I promise.

The way I feel has absolutely nothing to do with Phil the Thrills 3.4 birthday party last night which ended up at my mates club at the Old Biscuit Mill, decoDance.

Incidentally people there are like a hundred million roadblocks out there so be reponsible and work with the authorities on this one. Don’t be a chop about it basically.

Anyway… I digress… where where we? Oh yes, we were here…

What a Shite view

Click the image for a larger version. I was only kidding, seriously, it’s not that shite. What was REALLY KAK was when there was a Jacob Zuma picture adorning the lamp post that Tamryn very cleverly did not get into her picture. Something I can’t do.

‘Cos I have a piece of shit camera.. and I NEVER blame my tools.

So we looked over a little and this jumped out at us.

Anyway there are tons of these vendor dudes that show off their wares along the strip and this guy was a most undustrious dude. Not only did he make a flippen massive wire motorbike, he also CHARGED for the picture, before telling us his dream was to make a wire Mandela in the Waterfront. So my obvious first thought was… ummm youre making wire motorbikes at the Blouberg Beachfront, what exactly is stopping you from making wire Mandelas at the Waterfront?

Nice Bike

I think these guys are well versed in what to say to ellicit that extra buck. Incidentally brutha maaaan, while talking about extra bucks and all that, what’s under the hat? This doesn’t take away from the fact they are obviously super talented.

Then, and in final reference to my all time favourite music video (for now that is) we spotted these birds trying to get on the boat.

Birds and a Boat

Not just any boat mind you, THE boat. The one from the video… which is just out of shot… promise [video here]
