My view of the world and anything that might interest me.
It is not always the rising sun that makes for beautiful photos. While the sun was setting on the other side I caught the moon rising over the Boland mountains. Here is some photos I got.

This morning as I was leaving my house the sun was rising over a hill close to my house through the trees. I took the photo below on my HTC Desire.
I like the way the sun reflect on a puddle of water on the road.

With the World Cup ending last night and Spain being crowned the champions, I have a confession to make. I did not watch 1 single minute of the World Cup on either the TV or live in a stadium. I did not even attend one of the Fan Fests or Fan Walks.
This might sound very unpatriotic but I can assure you I took an active interest in it and am very proud at the way that South Africa hosted the event and presented the country doing it. The main reason is that I do not own a TV and am just not into soccer that much to spend money in a restaurant or other venue watching it.
Having said that, I have kept up with whatever was going on by mainly using social media like Twitter and Facebook. And I must say that following the soccer on Twitter was probably much better than on TV if I have to listen to the tweets. Heavy breathing commentators is just not my scene and totally missing Madiba by showing an advert – that is just not on.
Also I had this great little app on my Linux workstation that got updated via the Internet, so I always knew the stand of the teams in the group stages or during the knockout rounds.
This just goes to show, in this day and age one can be up to date and take part without TV and old way media by using new way media. And the cherry on the cake is that my debt levels is way less than lots of other people that went on a spending spree and blame it on the World Cup.

Today was one of those perfect days in Cape Town. I went to visit family in Melkbosstrand and on my way home I stopped at Bouberg beach and took some photos of what else than Table Mountain.
There was some boats in the bay on one wreck was so close, it looked like one was able to touch it.
And what is a view of Table Mountain and Cape Town without the Cape Town Stadium.
In my Picasa Gallery you can see a closer view of the stadium together with some other photos I have taken of ships in the bay and people (babies) and dogs on the beach..
One of the first things I do on a Sunday morning is to read PostSecret. Today’s one is dedicated to all the Farthers out there, being Farther’s Day.
Being a single dad, if it was not for my children, life would have been very lonely and a real struggle. To all dads out there, appreciate your children, treat them with respect and give them unconditional love.

This blog was just upgraded to WordPress 3.0 … if you see anything that just do not look righ then please let me know.
It is freezing cold here in the Cape at the moment and looking at the mountain tops, you can see why. Today was the first clear day after the rain of the past couple of days. When I arrived home, I took some photos from my balcony.
You can see all the photos in my Picasa album.
One of my favourite catoonists is Jeremy Nell and today he hit the nail on the head when it came to how my head is feeling.
I just hate this damn vuvuzelas after being awaken at 6 am when somebody decided it is cool to wake up the whole neighbourhood.
