Love all the views!
And the lizard on the bed!

And the tortoises!
And the millipede, (not a centipede) is wonderful.
Thanks for thinking of us and sharing these lovely postcards.

Oops. Millipede. Will remember that next time.

Yes that`s true ! In Germany we have a lot of weird happenings that people do. I don`t want to know all of them and what they do there..... It is sometimes scary !
We all are heathens deep inside our black soul ............

Today is Shrove Tuesday. The day before Ash Wednesday which is the first day of the Christian Lent.

In the UK that means it is Pancake Day. A traditional way of using up rich ingredients before the Lent fast, it is now just a good excuse to make and eat pancakes.

My batter is made. We have sugar, lemon juice and dried fruit to go on them. We shall be starting to cook then in an hour.

The village of Olney, near where my in laws live, has a pancake race every Shrove Tuesday...

Maybe that`s why they are called pancake. They are so sticky that you must eat them with the pan .....

Damn wrote a whole post and app crashed. Okay let's start again. Took my clients around the Cape Peninsula on a mini tour. Visited Kirstenbosch Gardens, World of Birds and when going through Camps Bay we had some rain. Yaayyyyyyy. Very dissapointed with World of Birds and how they look after the two tortoises they had. Please let me know if there are too many photo's being posted and I will try and reduce any further excursions to fewer photos.

The dream continued like that ..............

World of Birds - My favorite were the little Monkeys. You walked right into the cage and the monkeys would jump onto you. They are very soft. Least favorite was the tortoise enclosure as it was all wrong and you could see it was too dry.View attachment 230328View attachment 230329View attachment 230330View attachment 230331View attachment 230332View attachment 230333View attachment 230334View attachment 230335View attachment 230336View attachment 230337View attachment 230338View attachment 230339View attachment 230340View attachment 230341View attachment 230342View attachment 230343View attachment 230344View attachment 230345View attachment 230346View attachment 230347View attachment 230348View attachment 230349View attachment 230350View attachment 230351View attachment 230352View attachment 230353View attachment 230354View attachment 230355View attachment 230356View attachment 230357View attachment 230358View attachment 230359

Oops. Millipede. Will remember that next time.

Hi, Carol!
Good evening.
Millipedes have 2 pairs of legs per body segment, and are harmless herbivores.
Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment and are carnivorous. They can be nasty bitey things sometimes. And venomous. And none of them have 100 legs. Some more, some less, but never 100

Lastly Camps Bay and the rain out at sea which moved inland for a few minutes.View attachment 230361

Pretty clean is not clean enough ( for me )
I keep my cheese and you your underwear....
