Morning e para aprender Portugués and drinking coffee in the sun on the balcony. Once I’ve reclaimed my chair from Trinket, that is. We sometimes call this coffee press the, “Darth Vader plunger,” - because it looks like the French Press that would be supplied on Imperial Star Destroyers (imagine the drain gurgle as Vader pours coffee into his helmet). We’ve had it many years and it’s travelled many miles. And it still keeps coffee hot for upwards of an hour.
Housecats. Except they’re free to wander. Luckily Skitten does not, as a rule.
A brief stop on @furiousgreencloud and my road trip that began long before dawn.
Morning Trinket.
@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.
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.
Pre-dawn on the Sabie River is when the night wails of the bushbaby mix with the victory cry of the fish eagle.
