Day 168: Sundial
The sun-dial at the entrance to Mnandi beach in Cape Town. It is very popular with the people of Strandfontein and Khayelitsha, and it also has a coveted Blue Flag, which is awarded for excelling in safety, cleanliness, provision of amenities and maintenance of environmental standards.
In Summer and on public holidays, there are thousands of people visiting.
This particular sundial is not very accurate. Although it says it was taken just after 4pm, it was 4:58pm, almost 1 hour late.

Day 167: Wild Mushrooms, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.
I was very excited to find my local Woolworths store selling packs of mixed wild mushrooms. A packed immediately went into my basked. And of course, Lois does not eat mushrooms, which meant that I could eat them all myself :-)
I stir-fried them in a little butter, with fresh garlic and some herbs. Really yummy!
Note: Woolworths in South Africa is not to be confused with Woolworths in U.K., our Woolworths is affiliated to Marks and Spenser.
Here is a pic of the stir-fry in progress.
Day 166: Seagull Landing
Day 166: Seagull Landing, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.
A seagull caught just as he was landing in shallow water in Zandvlei, Cape Town. It it such a wonderfully calm day today (especially after the howling wind yesterday). I was just walking around the vlei, enjoying the sun on my back, and taking a few shots of the birds.
Here are two more:
Seagull in flight; notice the reflection in the water.
And finally, another Seagull in flight. In the background is Park Island with Marina da Gama in the far background.

I had these chocolate spring rolls for dessert at our local Thai Restaurant, Simply Asia in Lakeside.
I was quite happy with my meal until I overheard the waitress mention to the next table that they had chocolate spring rolls for dessert, and that was me lost. I simply had to try them, and yes, they are as decadent as they look.
The pastry is crispy, and the melted chocolate just pours out when you take a bite. You get six on a plate, but we split them (even Lois had some!), and trust me, three is plenty!
Highly recommended!
