Pictures and apologies

I'm sorry. Again. I know I've totally sucked at blogging and reading everyone else's blogs this year so far. I've been distracted. TSC's job hunting and frustration at the lack of availability of civil engineering posts suitable for him have sort of taken centre stage of our little world.

In fact, the job issue has pretty much taken over everything at the moment. He can't think of anything else. And seeing he's at home, where I work, that filters into my headspace too. By diffusion maybe?

Anyway, I could write loads about that. But it's depressing me, so I thought I'd share some pics from the holiday, which already seems light years away.

First, presents:

A Dassie, for Po:



(Shot at Augrabies National Park in the Northern Cape)

A Lizard for Helen:



(Also at Augrabies)

A a Kokerboom / Quiver tree for everyone else, because I think they're beautiful plants:



(Shot on TSC's family's farm in southern Namibia)

A really interesting flower, for anyone who can tell me what it is:



(Also at Augrabies)

And a pink bicycle on a pink wall, because we have to maintain the mood of madness on this blog:



(Shot at Die Pienk Padstal outside Kakamas in the Northern Cape)

More to follow, I promise!
