Working hard at home, so no time for coffee shops and delicious breakfasts. But our espresso machine makes pretty fine coffee - especially with this Bean There fair trade Ethiopian coffee in my favourite scottie mug - and some Ticklemouse Country Fare (a small company in Pringle Bay) Farmhouse Rusks.
A sunny afternoon, a local cider and some strawberries, the Southeaster blowing cool and gentle - summer must be on the way.
After the hurly burly of Christmas it was great to relax in the garden with friends on Boxing Day which is officially known as The Day of Goodwill in South Africa.
Today is cold and wet and raining madly as this view into our garden shows. I hope all the soccer fans will dress warmly for the Italy vs Paraguay match in Cape Town tonight.
Strictly speaking the sign on our neighbour's pavement isn't funny - it was my dog's reaction to it this morning that was funny. 
He wasted no time expressing his disapproval!
