Following pretty closely after last month’s Russian Sedov, two weeks ago the V&A Waterfront docks were graced by 3 more tall ships, this time Dutch – the Tecla, Europa and Oosterschelde. We checked them out on Mother’s Day when they were open to the public and then watched them depart for Durban the morning of the 14th.
These little guys seem to be all over Cape Town at the moment, I think they’re called Common Dotted Border Butterflies. They’re very sweet :)
Celebrating my recently-obtained freedom and joining a Joburg friend sight-seeing were good enough excuses for a little daytrip along False Bay to Betty’s Bay on Tuesday.
Tuesday 30 April was my last day at my job of 5 years, and I can’t think of a better way to have celebrated than by watching some of my favourite local bands…and enjoying a lie-in on Worker’s Day morning the next day.
For one night only, 80s legends Falling Mirror (the original members and some new ones too) performed a packed show at Willowbridge’s Barnyard Theatre. The night was especially significant given the fact that the band hardly ever performed live during their 30+ years of making music.
