Proof





I finally got the proof of birds landing on my palm... It's amazing, they waited in the rain for me to get the cheese and just confidently eating it out from my hand. Really wanted to share them with you. Enjoy!!!

Rain Rain Rain


Today's weather is not lekker!!! Cold, rainy and windy... Okay, okay, I know that it's winter now. But everyone needs the sunshine and warmth too, just for a very short moment will be fine as well. Not like today's weather, wet and cold the whole day and even now, the wind still going strong. Weather like this makes me fat too... hahaha!! One more reason to eat chocolate/sweets because they made me WARMER!! ^^V Hmm.. that's not totally right, I drank more hot tea in this kind of weather as well. So, can't blame the weather.

BIRDday




We got a visit by an Black-headed Oriole today. It sang so hard to attract our attention.

Before that we fed a bunch of "cheese birds" (Drongo, Bulbul, Weaver and Fiscal) in Wilderness with cheese of course. The Drongo stood on my palm and calmly pick the tiny cheese cube one at the time. AMAZING!!!

"Bambi"







We were so lucky for the past 2 days, we saw a small deer. We think that it's a "duiker" in Afrikaans next to the road at the same spot. She looks so calm and lovely, like in "Bambi". Sorry for the photos, not very clear, it's pretty dark there!

Busy



I left the blog for too long, it's the time to do some catch up! Being sick for a few days and after that we have to move from upstairs to downstairs. The whole renovation is kind of headache. Especially in this beautiful country. I am not saying that it doesn't happen in other countries, don't get me wrong. It's just the way people dealing with things here are different. Anyway, there are a lot of things to unpack and sort-out. Maybe it's a good way to practice "sell unwanted goods", "donation", "recycle", "upcycle" and etc!!! Can't wait @~@!! That will be my weekend task, hmm... maybe the coming weeks too. How will your weekend be? No matter what it will be, ENJOY!!! I "certainly" will!

Unique Place


Hoekwil is a very unique place. She surrounded by a series of mountains and facing sea at the same time, that's really magical. You will never get bored looking at the views, they changed frequently. Although the people who live here are not very sociable. Hmm... it's not that they are not friendly just a bit distance. It happens in every country, don't they?? I guess sometimes we are all just being a little bit over critical.


Snapped a few photos of the winter sky today. That's one of the magnificent things about this country. BEAUTIFUL sky that you will die for. Life is short, sometimes small little things can make us feel happy/ content. We need to enjoy as much as we can. Cheers everyone!!!

Content Day



Busy, Busy, Busy... I were a busy bee today. Went to the framer, the paper shop, the printer and I got a present for my love one. I hope that it was a good pick! I didn't see my friends today, went out the whole morning and afternoon. Luckily I have their photos, enjoy!!!


Met a very nice lady at the paper shop, she likes my hand-painted prints and I got some very nice scrap paper for free! ^.^V It's always good to meet new people. Talking about good people, today we found out that our friends have sold their shop. It's a mix emotion for us, we were happy for them that they finally found a buyer and sad that we will see them less. We are quite certain that the atmosphere of the shop will be different. We will have to wait and see.


I am very tempted to open an etsy account today, but I didn't do it in the end because I think that I should have some "stocks" first. Hope to grow few more hands so that I could have all the things done in the same time....


Okay, now about the weather. Bad! Bad! Bad! @~@lll Grey and rainy and COLD! Hopefully we will have a better one tomorrow. Have a nice weekend everyone!!!

Lekker Dag



I reached my goal!! yahoo!!! I finished the total 6 prints that I said that I would like to finish this week.



For the bonus, the weather is extremely nice today. Few days of cold weather and this morning the wind was blowing (again) and we thought that, oh no! another bad weather. Surprisingly, the wind was warm. All the birdies had a bad flying day because the wind was so strong that made them cant fly properly and our little friends "Petronia" had to duck their heads so that the wind wont blow them away. Really in love with those birds!!!!
