Just thinking out loud

I'm ridiculously proud of this photo, hence it's publication on this site.
It's a small town on the west coast that has become rather trendy but someone had the good sense to lay down a building code so all the houses here retain their Weskus colour. not so in Saldanha. Right next to our house there's a castle, I kid you not! With wide sea vistas and beautiful sunsets all around there is this castle with 4 ugly towers and teeny tiny windows. I don't know the people who stay there and I don't want to: such incredibly bad taste cannot be an isolated abberation, there must be something else wrong with them.
But this is Paternoster at just about midday and it looks beautiful.

See the pretty picture

OK, I know, its about 5 years old but it's a good photo so I'm entitled!

Post Christmas contemplation

I've eaten too much and possibly have spent far too much money! So what's new. I've worried about my lonely friends and relished the company of my own family. Today I got down on my hand and knees and cleaned the kitchen floor. And I have to organize my desk. The new year and my studies demand this.

Why this, why now?

It's a first for me and I'm not sure why. I don't know for how long. I'm not sure of the format. I don't know who I'll talk to, if I do talk or who will reply and whether I will listen. I'm amazed at the web which of course defines me as a senior citizen and I wish my mother was alive. She would have relished the adventure that I am approaching cautiously with a flight plan in my pocket.

For now. I have said enough I think.
