The lobostemom is flowering beautifully and I am thrilled to see that the hoya I bought in January and which hasn't grown a centimetre since then, has started vigorous new growth. The clivias have yet to reach their prime and the parrot plant is just beginning its mass display of dark orange and yellow 'parrot beaks'. I don't want to mention the spinach in case the porcupine hears about it.
Today was a day of spoiling for me, with a superb breakfast with a dear friend in Cape Town, followed by pampering and a long overdue haircut. After that, I attended to some vital but not too stressful business (always best to take the bull by the horns and get it done), so felt justified in having more me time.
Back in Kommetjie, it turned into a simply beautiful spring day, without a cloud in the sky or a wave breaking on the shore. The light southeaster carried the sounds of the sea away over the horizon, leaving a peaceful atmosphere to end a busy day.
