Moo MiniCards

Moo Cards

My sample pack of 10 MiniCards from Moo.com arrived the other day. These little cards are really nice, the printing is good, the cards have a beautifully silky matt finish and the fact that you can have a different design on each card is brilliant.

Sad News

Sasol Tigers - December 2004

I’m saddened to hear of the death of another Sasol Tigers pilot, who crashed into Table Bay this afternoon, during a practice session for the AAD air show this weekend. This is particularly sad as it is less than a year since another of the team crashed during a show, resulting in the death of the pilot and passenger.

These ponds are on the old du Toit’s Kloof pass road, just above the tunnel.  See the location here on Google Maps.

A short tunnel on the old du Toit’s Kloof pass road. This road used to be on the main route but has been replaced by the 3.9km Huguenot Toll Tunnel, that shortens the route by 11km and 15 to 26 minutes.

On Sunday morning I was photographing dew drops on the grass when this fuzzy little fellow came marching along, right past my lens. He paused for his portrait before continuing on his way.

This is my father during his time in the Royal Navy. This would have been taken some time during the 1950s or early 1960s.
