A peaceful pleasure to be out here.

We cannot go far due to my rehabilitation requirements, but nothing prevents me from visiting my favorite local spots.

Some lovely views of the mountain range and a quick change in the weather.

As I stated before, we often have 4 seasons in one day and it all depends on the wind directions. Cold conditions, especially when the wind comes in from the west, as then it brings the cold from the Atlantic Ocean. North to north-west brings the rain, while the winds from the east and the north-east, bring the inland heat over the mountains. The wind from the south-east is another story on its own, as some of you know by now that it is called the Cape Doctor.
So come and see how the wind played with us today.

At first, all was a lovely sunny day and I got some nice photos.

I was delighted to see this succulent plant flowering with bright yellow colors, as we also have one at home, that has not flowered yet. Now I know what to expect when it eventually flowers.

And then the birds started to take off, as they knew what was coming.

Yep! All of a sudden, the clouds started to change and watch that grey cloud at the left of the picture.

Wow! That grey zig-zag line started to take over.

And finally, here's a look at the picture further towards the left.

So, then we decided to drive down to have a look at the ocean and I will show you this in another post.
Here is a teaser.

So, the daily power-cuts continue, and our economy is in a desperate state.
Many small businesses are closing down, and our un-employment numbers are now at the worst levels in the world. Some say that the power cuts will stop at yearend, and others say that it will only stop in another 5 years time. So, conflicting opinions are at the order of the day and it is sowing much confusion. We have however learned not to trust anything and to just continue making the best that we can of a bad situation.
As usual it is the poor that suffers the most and we help where we can, but it is only a drop in the ocean of suffering.
Such is life here nowadays and we are not complaining.

I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.

And That's All Friends.
