The Rotair cable car (one of only three world wide) ascending Table Mountain, Cape Town, with Lion's Head in the distance


Good evening

My health has improved and I have started work fultime this week - I was supposed to have started on the 1st, but the shingles had laid me low...


I apologize for not returning comments or reading as many blogs as I had hoped to have done, but my time is rather limited at present. Once I have settled into my new job, I will hopefully be be able to manage my time better.


This time of year, the organizers at the cable car at Table Mountain give a half price discount to the sunset trippers - a stunning view! A view to feed the soul  This is a trip that we are planning shortly.


Wishing everyone a splendid weekend and don't forget to pen a poem for the new contest, Suzette Prime. Hopefully I would not have to content with two! power failures during the judging of the contest (as had happened during the last one - messing up the process whole sale...)

    We don't have the vaccine here, but I understand that it is expensive in the USA (when you can get it) = $140 per shot. X
