Connor’s new trick

Father Christmas brought Connor a bicycle for Christmas. It’s not just any old bike, this time Father Christmas got wise, and bought a JD Bug! It’s a pedalless bicycle and teaches balance… the kids I’ve seen with these bikes go straight to 2 wheel bikes and never get fairy wheels.
And I can see why!...

I love these bikes. I’m not sure if you noticed that Sugar’s bike is a balance bike as well. I’m hoping it works and she’ll be ready to put the pedals on soon.

Wow – he’s getting the hang of it quickly! I’ll do a post on his first effort on the road – which was only the day before this !!!!!

Burning rubber

I took these photos on the way to the D Hani creche last week.  We had to go down a few km’s of dirt road passing recycling centres, scrap yards and an old mine dump to get there and we passed 2 guys burning a tyre on the side of the road so we stopped.

YOU make Joburg GREAT

From the car

There have been a few of these signs floating around Johannesburg lately, and they’re now causing people to talk!
I got an email from the organisers of the campaign a few days ago explaining all about the campaign and asking if I wanted to get involved, because they’d noticed the photos of Joburgers on my site. ...

Trip to Parys

House in Parys

We went to visit Lance’s mom yesterday in Parys, so I yet again took my trusty cameraI’ve decided to take photos of the houses in the town now (I’m running out of scenery options now), but could only get a shot of one typical Parys house this time as the other houses had pesky dwellers...

Pesky dwellers! Too funny.

We call them jump ropes – but also said we were going off to skip rope. Either way I passed many a summer day playing with them as a child.

Art class sign on graffiti

Hehe, I drove past this graffiti this morning on the way to a conference, and I just HAD to stop there on the way home to take a photo.  I love it!
What’s the marketer trying to say?  Does the graffiti artist need classes? Or, are the art classes supposed to teach you how to paint...
