Wow, another week come and gone! We’re so close to the end of the year now, yet it feels so far off still. At least summer has finally arrived in Cape Town, with the doggies unsure whether it’s best to sit under the fan or run through the sprinkler outside in an attempt to stay cool. Here are a few of my most recent highlights…
Saturday, 28 November 2015: Primi breakfast, Pitmasters’ lunch
Sunday, 29 November 2015: Brekkie at home and pretty sunset
Tuesday, 1 December: Hot doggies and advent calendars
That’s all, folks – this weekend’s set to be another scorcher – keep cool! 🙂
It’s not quite officially Spring in Cape Town until I’ve had one last mystery bug/illness/bodily manifestation of stress to sap all the fun out of things. That’s exactly what happened last weekend – no mention of the Springboks’ #RWC2015 defeat, but it certainly didn’t help. It started with a hacking cough, moved on to body aches and shivers and even included a bit of a migraine for most of Heritage Day, so we’ve postponed our planned braai to this coming weekend.
Luckily I’m finally on the mend, and it wasn’t ALL bad, as you’ll see below…
Saturday, 19 September 2015: Coffee wisdom and sitting at the sea
Sunday, 20 September 2015: Breakfast at Greens, doggie walks
Tuesday, 22 September 2015: Two pretty highlights
Thursday, 24 September 2015: Non-braai day
Sadly that’s all, folks – here’s hoping the next weekend is a little healthier and happier all round 🙂 At least Bertie had an exciting time, so we lived up to the Mugg&Bean ‘fortune’…
I’m now into the third week of my 10-week part-time course and my brain is positively overflowing with information that you may well see filtering across into this very blog’s design soon. Exciting! 🙂
Other highlights from the past week include the first true glimpse of Spring 2015 for Cape Town – always a few weeks behind those of y’all upcountry, alas. See below…
Friday, 11 September 2015: Chilly dogs in blankets
Saturday, 12 September 2015: Breakfast at Woodbridge Island, post-assignment burgers at Rockstar Diner
Sunday, 13 September 2015: Breakfast and long walks along the West Coast
Wednesday, 16 September: Dins at Fat Cactus, Woodstock

That’s all, folks! The weekend ahead is set to be sunny yet windy, so who knows what my next blog update will have in store for you?
