Day 76: Kalk Bay Platter, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

One of my favourite meals, the Kalk Bay platter from the Cape Town Fish
Market, a great restaurant. The platter contained, fish, calamari, prawns
and mussels. A large meal, but it is so good. They also do great sushi. By
the way if you are vegetarian, I would not rush there too fast…Here is

Day 38: Chillin’ out, originally uploaded by Craig Strachan.

Fresh jalapeno chillis from my garden, taken with my new homemade lightbox. I don’t have the cord to separate my camera from the flash, so I used the regular flash and a light shining from one side.

2 Orchids to Moo.com

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Moo.com are a great little printing company. I use them a lot for my business cards.

Yesterday, I took a few out of the box, and I realised that a few were damaged (the lamination was coming loose). So, I fired off an email to them , and within an hour I had an apology, and a replacement pack is on its was, free of charge.

I’m sorry your order didn’t come out as expected. This was a finishing error (when we laminate and cut your cards to size) and should have been spotted by our quality checkers.

I’ve re-processed your order, free of charge, and your reprinted items will be dispatched as soon as they are ready. Apologies for the inconvenience and any delays this might’ve caused.

No fuss, no hassle, just great customer service. By the way, these are the guys that print individual runs, whereby every card is unique.

The roadworks along Muizenberg to Fish Hoek Main road seems to be going on for ever! I really wish that it would end.

Oh well, looks like I will be riding another bicycle race over Boyes Drive!

An Orchid to Incredible Connection

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Yes, believe it or not, Incredible Connection receives an orchid!

Last week, I bought a new camera bag from Incredible Connection, and after a few days the lining started to tear. So, off I went to complain. However I had lost the receipt, so I was a little worried about them giving me a refund.

When I arrived at the store, they were fantastic. Theywere friendly and helpful, they didn’t mind that I did not have a slip. They even managed to find my original purchase on their computer, and after a few minutes I had a full refund, no problems at all!

So, here is your orchid.
