I’ve expanded this blog to include my recently-reinstated morning walks around the neighbourhood. Such a fascinating microcosm of life in South Africa, ranging from the immaculately manicured golf course, to the profusion of bird life, the entrepreneurial golf ball sellers, the well-kept gardens, the busy canine life, and the occasional used condom wrappers lying in the street gutter! (I’ll continue postings about various knitting projects from time to time.)
This is the posting from this morning’s walk:
Monday 9 September: Living (almost) next to a golf course, we are fortunate to see an interesting variety of birds in our neighbourhood. Today was the turn of a confusion of guinea fowl on one of the greens. This is a very good collective noun for them, as they tend to charge around in a state of utter confusion when alarmed, their relatively large bodies held up by their spindly legs, which pump away madly, whilst creating a huge din with their panic-stricken calls.
