My camera futzed out ...

... and I can't upload any pictures at all. As soon as I get it fixed, this blog will be back on track.

In the meantime, I'll just say that this week, I've been so grateful to have a home which is still standing and kids who are alive and healthy....

The First Storm of Winter ...

... and it was baaaaad! Winds at over 65km/hr (about 40 mph) rattled our windows, shook the roof and howled like a banshee all night long. At work this morning, we saw some of the damage:

Fallen metal awnings ...


... and fallen pot plants (and those are heavy ceramic pots!)


The wind is still blowing but without the scary ferocity of last night!

Signs of The Times ...


My camera isn't good at these close up shots, but this is today's Sunday Times, which costs about R10.00. But if you were in Zimbabwe and wanted to buy it, it would cost you Zim$ 75 mill. It's true .... says so right there on the masthead.

Stunning!


Overlooking the driveway into our flats, this bougainvilla is always a stunning mass of colour.
