Enchanted sky, Sunday sunset in July. #CapeTown She told me she worked In the morning and started to laugh I told her I didn't And crawled off to sleep in the bath And when I awoke I was alone This bird had flown So I lit a fire Isn't it good Norwegian wood? - Lennon & McCartney

Did it 🤓💃🏽

Blue Mountain. Winter song Dusk falls on a day of sunshine and blue ice skies. Saturday in #capetown To live in this state of hoping When hoping seems so utterly mad I can't help but consider that so romantic Though I know I should consider it sad. - Kazuo Ishiguro

Got the 30-odd-year-old sound system to work so that I could listen to the radio with quality sound. Channelled the 80's teen spirit and MacGyvered it. 📻🎶

Star in solitude Killed the wifi in a cleaning and organising frenzy. No idea how to fix it. Burnt the soup. A very weird, very cold Saturday. Jazz and coffee, winter woes be damned. #CapeTown

So, I'm kicking off a little project ahead of the South African local government elections in November. Here's a thread about my plan and how you can support me, if you'd like to!

A South African choir and a Miriam Makeba reference! This is fantastic!

Sunrise. Sunset Always with the drama. The first Friday of July is a cruel winter's day in #CapeTown I don't need your sympathy There's nothing you can say or do for me And I don't want a miracle You'll never change for no one - Barry & White

Travellers July wind rattles the window on an icy night with drenching rain in #CapeTown I believe that it's raining all over the world I feel that it's raining all over the world - Tony White

Cape winter. Sunset die here het gaskommel en die dice het verkeerd geval vi’ ons daai’s maar al -Adam Small

Twisted Tuesday Frozen moonbeams and halos from the last June moon over an exhausted, exhausting #CapeTown

#CapeTown This city takes me to the very edge of despair. And then I'm inlove again. Ofcourse I bought books.

Strawberry Moon #winter #CapeTown Always, no sometimes, think it's me But you know I know when it's a dream I think I know I mean a yes But it's all wrong That is I think I disagree Let me take you down 'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about -John Lennon

Blue Bolero #AbdullahIbrahim

Rise with birdsong An icy, damp Monday in winter. #CapeTown after the rain. Don't give up 'Cause you have friends. Don't give up You're not beaten yet - Peter Gabriel

I am Antigone. I am a voice for the voiceless, a light in the darkness. And I will not be silenced. Not now, not ever. - Sophocles. Modernised. The lines in a monologue in The Island by Fugard, Kani and Ntshona, per S.A. Monologues Vol.2., 'cept I can't find it on a hasty scan of same.🤷🏽‍♀️ #Antigone

DAMAKA: The blind man. The Swahili... DAMAKA: I have no family. District Six is my family. VOSLOO: Where do you live? DAMAKA: Here! On the streets. VOSLOO: God, man! What do I fill in on the form? DAMAKA: Put there like Elvis Presley said: "Return to sender Address unknown" - Kramer and Petersen

The worst of evil in ordinary South Africans gets an upgrade. The perfect swearword has yet to evolve, for this renewed gleeful abandonment of humanity couched in lies. Where's the love indeed.

I don't care if it hurts I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here - Thom Yorke et al (Radiohead)

Sea salt and winter fruit The last Saturday morning of June in a misty #CapeTown It was only a winter's tale Just another winter's tale And why should the world take notice Of one more love that's failed? - Batt & Rice

Hola to all the Friday night badasses knitting double ribbing on a 'Slouchy-Hipster Hat, for absolute beginners' beanie. (Jazz) radio for company, naturally.

I feel for anyone suffering the heat in the UK and Europe, I too have a family in Gaza that has endured the sweltering heat of summer in a plastic tent, courtesy of the Israeli genocide supported by Europe

Pink haze and coffee Sunset of the last Friday in June after a mist and sunshine winter's day in #CapeTown Just before our love got lost, you said "I am as constant as a northern star" And I said, "Constantly in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me, I'll be in the bar" - Joni Mitchell

Love this new track by The War and Treaty, who are so bloody excellent.

Smoke and embers Winter theatre at sunset on Sunday evening in #CapeTown and the warmth of a perfect song. Now these thoughts are haunting me Of how complete I used to be And in these times that we're apart I'll hear this song that breaks my heart And think of you - Sixto Rodriques

Unveiling yet another book procured Because. So what if I've neither the space in which to keep it nor the time in which to read it.

Bleached denim and birdsong Hazy, moody Sunday in #CapeTown with too little time to do the things one wants to do.

Bo-Kaap. Saturday sunset

Blackbirds in abundance Pepper tree surprise party as lazy bones finally steps out the door for Saturday ambitions.

Three colours blue* Mountains dangle their feet in pools of mist under the winter sun. Saturday, mid-morning, #CapeTown

I have a lens that I never take out anymore because it's not nearly as good as the one I upgraded to. Each time I think to sell it, I take it out one more time and always get a shot or two that I like. So back on the shelf it goes until next time I decide to sell it. 😀 #FlyDay #Photography #Bees
