It seems that the flamingos must have eaten every last shrimp in the Kom, as they haven't been back for a while. Perhaps they are a breakaway flock looking for greener pastures (wrong metaphor - maybe shrimpier shores?) and having depleted the stock here, have flown off to Onrus. There certainly are plenty of estuaries along the coast to support a flamingo population. It will be sad if they don't come back.
The spring-like weather continues in Cape Town, showing off the Cape at its best at this time of year, with very little traffic as most Capetonians take off for the game parks in winter, hoping to escape the Cape winter. We are all being fooled with the change of weather patterns, and it looks as though home is the best place to be at the moment.
I'm having a busy week with plenty of work and other activities - Tai Chi, Toastmasters, Astronomy - nice to have lots on the go, but also difficult to settle down into doing the really important activities - writing and painting!
The takeover of our ladies' meeting place up the road, Espresso.kom, has happened and the transformation is under way. Soon it will have a neat expanse of brick paving under the beautiful milkwood tree that characterises the venue, with tasty breakfasts and good coffee to welcome us all back to a new era in eating out in Kommetjie. Pop in if you are in the area.
