There had been warnings all week that a huge storm was to hit Cape Town on the first weekend of June, and the warnings had been right. The rain was almost relentless and Saturday was was a night to be spent at home under a warm blanket – not a lot of gigs could have persuaded me otherwise, but Fox Comet‘s album launch was something that simply could not be missed…
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.
