I fully intended to take loads of pics while @withoutaleaf’s parents were here. This was the only one I ended up taking 😩 Still at least proof to @thewordypanda that her uncle was indeed here.

@withoutaleaf’s ma brought us these windchimes from India and I hung them on the balcony two days before a massive storm. Well, it turns out I’d hung them in the best/worst place. Almost totally unaffected by the wind that hurled tree branches onto gates and walls. While dawn is latish around the winter solstice this balcony is a great place for a cup of coffee and a read as the sun comes up.

Our boi visiting his new balcony for the first time. He was very nervous but realised he could watch a little dog pottering down the street without being noticed. I think he liked that.

Western governments think when these revolutions fail that it means that the status quo has been restored and go straight back to throwing money at sickening dictators. They should think more about why they happen in the first place. People are sick of these dumb, vicious tyrants. And they’re not going to stop. And they’ll remember just how much ‘help’ they got from democratic nations.

@withoutaleaf’s ma bought me my first wood-pulp paper book in years 😊

This dagger is made for taking on the naked ape. But I’m using it for opening boxes.

I don’t know the name of this, but there’s a lot of it around near our new place. Sure looks good against the blue skies first thing in the morning.

Lovely light on the way up to coffee in Obz this morning. Winter in Cape Town is not the non-stop downpour many imagine.

This character had a lot to say to me in a growly little old lady voice on my lunch run.

Quick food run for Mr Crumb who is hangry AF and attacking my feet up and down the stairs. This is #capewinter for you.
