A new month, nearly a new year

What? December already? Where did the year go?

November passed without its customary gale-force southeasters, the fire season started early (arsonists crawling from the woodwork) and summer comes and goes on a daily basis. A new mall has opened in the South Peninsula - who knows why? A new set of robots appeared at the bottom of Ou Kaapse Weg.

Kommetjie has been a hive of activity. Sardines and whales gathered en masse. Fibre optic cables have been laid. The verges have been mown. Roads are tarred after years of gravel. Ongoing de-cluttering continues at home - making way for new things. The garden is undergoing a makeover and the roses are growing as never before..A new art gallery has opened and sales are good. The NSRI now has a brand new home near the bay, replacing the unsightly and dodgy public toilets and ensuring unhindered access in times of emergencies at sea..

After such a busy November, what can December bring? Holidays, end-of-year parties, Christmas celebrations, an opportunity for peace and goodwill? One can live in hope!
