Yup, snow on the mountains. I took this picture from Boyes Drive, on the way home Friday. Not often we get to see snow so relatively close by.
Weekend happenings:
Wouter organised to pick up the jacuzzi, we would have done it last weekend but best laid plans and all that. I picked up Frank and co. and drove through to Kenilworth to meet up with him. He’d had to go through to Bellville to uplift the trailer from his folks. After some consultation, looking at the situation from all angles, we deemed it best to place the jacuzzi flat on the trailer and strap it down. A rather slow trip back, few stops to make sure the straps were secure and we now have a jacuzzi. It needs a bit of work on the panels, sanding down and re-varnishing, otherwise it seems to be in good condition.
They’ve finished laying the bricks in the back, which has made a real difference to the look of the place, no longer that horrible half broken up green concrete.
The weather we’ve had this weekend is the kind that makes one forgive Cape Town for all its sins. Truly gorgeous days with clear skies and sun, ok it wasn’t all that warm but still beautiful.
Realised I hadn”t actually posted any pics of the house painted, I’m getting used to the main colour, had a slightly lighter colour in mind originally but this works well with the accent colour.
I had them paint the gate leaving the pillars white, I think it looks ok.
I also had *my* room painted an almost spearmint green. I like it. (not sure others will but frankly their opinions don’t count). Hard to see in the picture the colour.
Actually friggen impossible to see the colour, and that wraps it up for today.
