Minus the yuppie elbows

Parfles and I went to the Earth Fair Food Market in Tokai this morning – it was lovely!
Had heard mumblings of it around, but it was Sven’s recent(ish) visit that spurred me to actually investigate a bit more and actually go and have a look.
We like. We like a lot.
It’s a roughly similar concept [...]

Walkies!

Saturday was mostly taken up with a walk on Table Mountain.
It was awesome.
Me, Parfait, Jim, Jean did the now classic route of up Skeleton Gorge, over the top past Mclear’s beacon, and down by cable car.
Here a few snippy snappy photos. There are even a few “arty” ones hidden in their midst. [fun game [...]

Birthday wotsits

Had a lovely brithday, involving a rather more than usual amount of fish. I picked out a couple of special things to do and places to eat, and they were great.
In retrospect, the day was fairly similar to what we do most weekends.
And I think that says a lot about how I feel about my [...]

Cederberg hols

Summary of Cederhol: good, but not great.
More detail, presented in bullet points for your (but mostly my, because I am feeling lazy) convenience:

Pain. Jo hurt her neck/shoulder/head area. This put a real damper on the festivities. Poor MojoJojo! . She was a bit better by the time we left, and is mostly recovered now.
Weather. [...]

Long Weekendery

Had a fantastic long weekend, despite not doing all the things I wanted to.
Unfortunately, I spent all of Thursday on the couch, crashing with some kind of mini-flu.
We went for a quick walk along the Clifton beaches in the morning. It made my head spin, so *thunk* on the couch it was.
The rest of the [...]

Snapshots

Couple more snaps from the new minicam…

Shooting Peeps

Helloes!
It’s been a long(ish) time in the making because of other commitments, but Shooting Peeps co.za is now finally live. Yay!
SP is a long-term joint project between AHS and Barners, taking portraits of people (mostly strangers) in and around Cape Town.
It’s something a bit different for both of us, and is a bit of a [...]

Snap!

After the jump are a bunch of snapshots from the new, tiny, camera.
Mostly from the weekend, which was ace.

More phonecam action

Part the first: having words.
Meep has words with the gas heater.

I have words with some kind of toy robot dog thing.

Part the second: various discoveries.
Tomato and, um, large furry fruit discovered in Cape Town garden.

Miniature Loch Ness monster discovered in Cape Town restaurant.

Shine!

Woo, what a weekend!
Friday night was Parafit’s company winter conference thingy.
Despite the general bad vibes about work at the moment, we had lots of fun.
Good food and wine, followed by some serious boogie action. Parfles cunningly booked the DJ from carnun’s wedding.
Saturday we managed to roll out of bed just in time for lunch at [...]
