Braai, work, hike

We had a braai yesterday; comfortable weather despite no sun. First braai for a few months.


Woke up one morning to see the neighbours looking at our fallen-down wall. Fortunately we had no work the next day and soon got it back up - and stronger than ever, with a good brick column.


A recent work project: turn the atrium into a nursery. Add a concrete floor, brick up a few indoor windows, turn a small window into a door, add a ceiling, add exterior window, add lights and sockets...


Went to the Drakensberg for a hike recently:


Near the hotel.



The peak we'd hope to climb is the one on the right, behind me.


After a night of torrential rain, close thunder and lightning, we had a wonderful dawn but the rock was too wet to climb - even though it's almost just easy walking with a few scrambles. But still a nice weekend away.
