Three Cape Ladies

This, incidentally, was my celebration tipple last week, on being shown a green light towards US citizenship and consequent legal cohabitation with the man I married last January...I snapped it up the minute I saw it on the shelves at Heights Chateau, the local wine shop. Quite yummy.

The question is, when we head NNW this coming January, what will be in our wine box? Will we even want to drink wine in the desert? [See our list of supplies here!]

I'm banking on cold white. Very cold white. I'm thinking unwooded Chenin blanc...The Landcruiser has a mini fridge. Big smiley face.

Something with which to toast the vultures as they circle...

You will definitely want wine! With our 60 litre fridge/freezer you can take a vineyard, and the vultures will feast on marinaded meat......

Lucky vultures!

I think we should take Pascoe as a lure :-) or at least as a canape...

Definitely a well-chilled Chenin. Heck! In the Cape area you're spoiled for choice.

The vultures will be circling for a taste of the wine!

Afterwards in the street, she looks around the neighborhood. "Yes, it is certified now."

She refers to a phenomenon of moviegoing which I have called certification. Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere."

"Die kierie kom uit Indonisie, gesny van 'n tak wat van jongs af omslinger was deur a wildevy se rank. Hulle het saam grootgeword, en die rank het sy spoor op die tak gelos. Daarom is die slinger ook oneweredig, en hier,"se hy, "by die punt van die kierie moes daar iets gebeur het - die slinger en die tak het inmekaar gevleg en 'n knoop gemaak. Die natuur het die kierie so gemaak."

"n Kieriemaker sou dit eweredig gedoen het," se ek.

"My kind," se meneer Boje, "vermy die reguit lyn."
