Day 174:
It has taken 23 days for the buds that I took on the 31 May to finally start opening. By next week I should have a solid splash of red in this corner.

Day 172:
An accident with the fish tank meant a clean out of a cupboard which lead to the discovery of the collection of old long-playing records that we have been sitting on. What a blast from the past!

Day 168:
I have just enjoyed the most wonderful solo exhibition by a local artist, Hendrik Stroebel whose love is ceramics and hand embroidered panels, exhibited in collage form or within a ceramic frame as above. Mind blowing!

Day 167:
The flower of a tree I bought over 15 years ago, not indigenous, but obviously happy enough to flower every now and again but taking an age to 'grow'.

Day 166:
I always associate plant seeds as being dry and light but these are so bright and squishy looking. They are from a very small indigenous plant I got years ago. So long ago I cannot remember the name but it has a very delicate blue flower.

Day 165:
When I was given this wind chime of old spoons and forks I was asked what I would like for the middle piece and I obviously requested a fish!

Day 164:
This needed a wash and so it got zapped. While in Uganda for 2 years I joined a group of ladies who met once a week and we bought and painted the local clay pots for ourselves. This is my sole remaining specimen.

Day 163:
Quadrant House, a lovely old building on the corner of Field and Esplanade, Durban. I have used the old road names so those most will understand where I am. Taken from across the railway line from Point Yacht Club parking lot.

Day 162:
The sun is shining and it is great to be able to open up the house and let the warmth in. Although weeds this bunch of clover popping thru the garden bed edging looked very happy. No 4-leafed clover amongst that lot. It is amazing how flat and relatively unmarked the leaves look in the photo.

I was doing a bit of cleaning and came across this piece of coral that I brought back from Tanzania. Before anybody reacts it was broken off and washed up on the beach.

Day 159;
Yes I also have a fascination for moss. With such a wet early summer all sorts of new 'things' have popped up in the garden and the different kinds of moss have been incredible. Although it has been hot and dry these still manage to do there thing every now and again.

I have no idea what this shrub is called and am not sure it is even indigenous but it adds another colour to the garden being silvery green. It does propagate like mad. The flowers are also mad ..... this is the bud!

It is amazing ... once one pops its head out you start noticing them all. This is another sneak preview of a aloe bud.

I do have a thing about feathers .... if I come across them I nearly aways pick them up. These are two guinea fowl feathers that I brought back from the berg.

Day 154:
The myth goes when the aloes start flowering the sardines are on the move ...... well the aloes are sending out their buds and the sardines have been sighted north of East London.
