I think both you and @charlayn.bsky.social have valid points, I.e. good feedback. Something for me to chew on. 🙂
😂😂😂
useful, dankie!
Bowie Blommetjie 🌻🐻❄
It's been a while! 🎨 Critique and guidance, asseblief
onnerstebo 🙃
My assistant, tearing up blankets 🎨🐻❄
Mimi’s turn 🐶
sun's up good morning 🐻❄
die Hoffnung stirbt zu letzt! birdsong introduces a new day 🎶
a sad state of affairs!
Thank you! The tick-bite-related vertigo is inner ear. If it persists, there are exercises one can do. I've written about Oma & Opa previously.
they're beautiful! 🐑
My Storie: Bowie's in the city [week 2] open.substack.com/pub/oppad/p/...
Seen on Slangkop, Aug 2025: Orchid Ladieshand (Cyanella orchidiformis)
Yes! And causing trouble adds another dose of stoutgeid 🐻❄🐶
a second-hand bookshop 📚🫣
Bowie's checking out the birds 🐻❄
Piketberg Viooltjie (Lachenalia callista), seen on the Versfeldspas to Piket-Bo-Berg
oh dear! Mimi has stolen Bowie's bone, who had stolen it from Mimi. Saturday Night Live 🐻❄🐶
As Bowie may not take Mimi for a walk, he's now taking himself 🐻❄
Mimi, walkies! 🐶
Not wrong 🍋
A beautiful sunrise in the city good morning 🌻
to my understanding, yes.
Bowie Beertjie in Fish Hoek today🐻❄
Studio-line 🎨
lekker rustig 🐻❄
'n Blommetjie vir jou Cape Tulps (Subgenus Homeria), Piket-Bo-Berg, 15 Sept 2025 Good morning 🌻
A lekker catch-up today with @charlayn.bsky.social. A wonderful "plaas sop", lemon and ginger cake with a melktert custard, and stories and reminiscences. As I had been away most of the day, both Mimi and Bowie got a big beentjie 🐻❄🐶
Strange fruit hanging from trees in Mississippi again. youtu.be/Bn6DKuEleUg?...
so noisy, these city dogs!
You'll have to ask the nerds, I haven't a clue good morning 🌷
Six weeks and nearly 4 months🐻❄️💚
Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day! Today’s date is made of 3 perfect squares and they form a Pythagorean triple: 3² + 4² = 5² This only happens once a century. x.com/fermatslibra...
Bowie has decided that it's too early for a walk 🐻❄
A road less travelled, Piket-Bo-Berg
a short kuier in Piket-Bo-Berg. Genugtig, dit is mooi!
A short stop on the Versfeldspas on the way to Piket-Bo-Berg
A coolish, though beautiful, start to the day in the city. A walk with Bowie, then Mimi. Have a nice day on your side, good morning 🌻
hello! 😉
My Storie: Bowie's visiting the city. We're house-sitting at Oma and Opa’s, looking after Mimi open.substack.com/pub/oppad/p/...
😁
😁
"In a cafe at Oxford. Next table seems like a first date. He is telling her about the archaeological evidence for Aztec human sacrifice." (seen elsewhere)
Beetle Lily (Baeometra uniflora), spotted in a Durbanville green space
cognitive overload 🥺
and thus, the philosophers joust again, rising to new heights of intellectualism. OK, f*ck it, your prose is better than mine
🙏
🦋
😅 something like that!
bliss! Bowie and Mimi are now having a snooze, I'm not far behind 🐻❄🐶
😅 dit het my 'n half uur gevat om weer op te staan!
genades, I can't resist! Die mooi antie at Arista's, Willowbridge Mall in D'ville
sun's up 🐻❄🐶
I should've videod this: Bowie stalking guinea fowl 🐻❄
Wonderful! If only more municipalities would do something similar 🌻
It's amazing what one can find in an urban green space if the time is taken to have a mindful look🌻
flamme rouge 🌻
sun's out, stoeplê time 🐻❄🐶
have a read 👇 open.substack.com/pub/meganshe...
good morning 🐻❄🐶
pertinent, after recent events 👇💚
genugtig! 🫣😅
'tsek is not strong enough, you gotta go full-on kaapse vlakte 🫣
creative!
true, though preferred. I've had enough "English weather" to last me a lifetime
Ai, no paint brushes to be seen anywhere! Either Bowie got hold of them or I forgot, it happens. A good reason to visit one of the local malls 🛒
the weather is grumpy 😊
it's been a damp and grumpy day!
yes, and I think he made the original as well to make the mold
Getting set up for some painting 🎨
Dit is waar, Opa kên sy storie!
Opa’s workshop 👨🎨
Bowie's decided that he also wants to lie on the bed, just like Mimi. Hier kom 'n ding! 🐻❄🐶
This morning's walk is at a slower pace 🐻❄🐶
Looks like Mimi has moved in! Bowie's ready to drop off ☺️
😅😅😅
when was that ever a realistic option? Even a few decades ago, it would've been Durban to Jhb to Cpt
yay, you two, punning away ☺️
Opa is a "Modelleur." Here are some of his ceramic designs over the years
Walking in the local park, some beautiful flowers 🌻
Bowie's been hunting guinea fowl. One for the pot would be lekker
It's Opa's "shed" ☺️
😉
In die tuin - life in the city 🌻
I'm going to disagree with ☝️, Dr von Solms is an attractive young lady ☺️
No Namaqualand flowers today, we're in the city for a few weeks 🐶
Opa’s studio, which I may use for painting while staying in the city 🎨
definitely ☺️
something like that! ☺️
stoeplê, city style 🐶
truth!
Good morning from Cape Town, nice to see you back 🐝
Monday morning in the city
There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us
🌻🐶
Not a clue - some amazing works of art!
