Paperclip

At my work desk I am always fiddling with something. Very often it's a paperclip. I'll bend it back and forth til it breaks. Poor paperclip!

Memory Lane

Went down to Kalk Bay today, took a stroll along Main Road, popped into a few shops and had lunch at The Annex. Nice way to spend a Sunday!

Clicker

My hands like to fiddle with things as I work. At my own desk I usually play with a clothes peg , but today I was busy at my colleague's desk for much of the day and got to fiddle with this whatsit.

There is a new stop street in my neighbourhood. The traffic roars down the road in the morning... hopefully this will help to slow it down.

Whoops

This morning there was an almighty racket outside and the whole neighbourhood came out to see what had happened. A car had crashed right through someone's wall! Luckily the driver was unhurt, but - eeek! - poor car, poor wall.

Razor

Razor wire in my neighbourhood. It's unattractive at the best of times but even more so when covered in bits of tatty plastic thanks to the wind.

Rosa

Phew, another tough day. After work I went grocery shopping and was so distracted that I forgot to get half the things I needed. I did buy a bag of tomatoes though and they were so pretty I put them out in a bowl.
