Notes from the Cape Posts
A colourfully painted wall spotted on the way to work, imparting the AIDS message to a local community in Cape Town. I quite like the red/yellow/blue primary colours in the picture.

I don’t think that we need to worry about Emily being a retriever that doesn’t. She is showing clear signs of retrieving and carrying everything all over the house.
This is her latest, carrying her food bowl to the bedroom. Is she hinting or something?
By the way, she is 13 weeks old today, and is already over 10kg.
On our way…
I’m hungry!
I would like to introduce to the new addition to our family. Emily was born 6 weeks ago, and she will be coming over to join us in about 2 more weeks. In the mean time, here is a picture of her. She is a little baby Golden Retriever.
Shh, don’t tell Eccles yet!
Don’t forget that tomorrow is National Braai Day, the most important public holiday on our calendar. It doesn’t matter what you braa, but you have to braai something!
You can do some seared tuna
or some wors
How about smoked chicken on the Weber?
Don’t forget the garlic bread
And if you need any help, here is a step by step guide.
A wall at Planet Hollywood, Times Square. It contains a couple of hundred Gibson Guitars, mostly the Les Paul.
This is a fitting memorial to the famous Les Paul, who died on August 13 2009. He created the Gibson Les Paul guitar, which was played by almost every rock band in the world.
He also invented multi-track recording, which of course revolutionised the music industry.
Here is a picture of Paul McCartney’s bass guitar – yes the original (or so they say)! It was on the wall at Planet Hollywood on Times Square, New York.
It just looked sad, rows and rows of discarded school busses, after spending years moving school children to and from school, ensuring that the child arrive safely at school, the old busses have completed their useful life. They have now been discarded, and left out in the elements to slowly rust away, and die a lingering and painful death.
Isn’t she beautiful?
She is a brand new Cort MP710F (Lefty) acoustic guitar. She has a solid spruce top, maple back and sides and rosewood fretboard.The electronics is very good-Fishman classic4 pickup, with build in tuner.
The sound is unbelievable – very full and clear. I am really looking forward to playing it at our gig tomorrow evening.
I haven’t named her yet, but in time once I get to know her, I will name her.
