Capewinter

And Famous Skitten (aka Fatty) is enjoying a relaxing time in her Gryffindor common room in Mogwarts Castle.

Little Trinket is soaking up some sun time during our Indian summer.

A fierce looking man with a heart of gold and a brain like a finely tuned machine. Saturday braai in our Indian Summer spent talking about braai things - tube amplifiers and convolutional neural networks.

The drought seems to be over, but we’re still getting our summer in July. It’s come to be a regular thing - the weather turns perfect for a fortnight in the middle of winter every year. Temperatures around 23 degrees (don’t know what that is in barbarian units) and glorious sunshine bathes our little cottage in Observatory.

Ah the freeze of winter. Perfect day for…

Beautiful sunny winter’s day chez moi.

A classic rain-drenched Cape Town winter is cold and inconvenient. But now we can really appreciate it as we read how the dam levels are rising all the time.

And now it’s belting again.
