The Parklife acoustic music Festival debuted in Joburg on March 21 and in Cape Town on the following day, at the one-of-a-kind and always gorgeous Kirstenbosch Gardens, where Jeremy Loops and Farryl Purkiss played the sunset opening slots in support of Australian headliner Xavier Rudd.
Prior to attending Friday night’s performance of Cirque du Soleil’s stunning show Dralion, I had the privilege of joining a short media briefing and attending part of Cirque du Soleil’s workshop with the Zip Zap Circus School as well as getting a quick tour backstage.
On the first weekend of March I had a lovely time wandering around the Design Indaba expo at the CTICC. There were loads of beautiful things on display; unfortunately I didn’t take any photos on the day but I did buy a really stunning ‘Dali Ring’ from Bellareathe Jewellery (who had a beautifully decorated stand – I’m a sucker for moss).
I’ve been meaning to photograph it for a while and I finally did so earlier this evening.

I’ve been rather neglecting my blog lately, so in an effort to remedy this I went looking through my photos today and found these, which I meant to post back in Jan but forgot…
I’d planned on making something to acknowledge Chinese new year and the fact that this is the year of the snake (because I like snakes and am one in the Chinese zodiac), but haven’t been able to get around to that yet. So, until I do, this surrogate reptile will have to do – this is a little baby lizard on my brother’s finger, it was tiny and totally adorable.
I took a little break in the middle of the CTEMF to watch Tape Hiss and Sparkle at the Waterfront last Saturday…
