I have been meaning to take photos of all the fun rides at Kiddy Rides in Observatory for ages so today I ignored that little voice that said, "That falls into the FUN category of your life and right now you don't have time for FUN" - and did it. Boy, it was fun!

We completed these fun market bags today - just in time to be on sale at tomorrow's organic market! They're made of laminated hessian (burlap)and each sport a little mielie'ed fruit or veggie.

After two wonderfully mild weeks, all the rain that should have been falling from the sky finally did - all at once. Roads have washed away, rivers burst their banks and houses and offices everywhere have beautiful buckets on display to cope with the leaks. Pictured is our little pond, stream, and brand new waterfall!

We went to blues guitarist/singer Dan Patlansky's concert last night. I think I'll rather give you pictures than words to pay hommage to this 26-year-old's talent. If you love the blues, do yourself a favour and go - he's still performing in Cape Town tonight and tomorrow night.
