Look and Listen

I visited my folks today and remembered to scan in some sketches. These quick drawings were done on the inside of an envelope. It was all I had while sitting in church. 

There are so many interesting people to draw in church. They sit still and they don't notice being drawn. Perfect! 

Beach Sweep

Last Saturday, 15 September, was International Coastal Clean Up Day. My Mr and I took part in beach clean-up on Sunset Beach in Cape Town. I snapped a few pics with our point-and-shoot Canon.

The oddest thing we found was ear buds - lots of them- and small round transparent plastic chips in the sand. They look like something that could be used for packaging. There was so much litter on the beach that some people sat down to work on one spot at a time. It's a sad sorry state! But the coolest thing we saw... children so excited about picking up trash. There's hope for us.

Best Dam Lemon Cake

I baked this beauty! Actually it's the second time I've baked lemon cake this year. *Gasp!* This comes as quite a shock to myself and people who know me well. You see I'm less of a Bree and more of a Susan (AKA the domestic goddess vs. the clumsy-burn-every-meal goddess in Desperate Housewives).

I made the cake for a little tea with friends and didn't have time to take before-the-munching photos. So I had fun trying to make half a cake look pretty. Huge respect for food stylists and photographers! 

Anyhoo, if you're looking for a delicious fool-proof lemon cake recipe, I found this recipe on Simply Delicious. Get the recipe here.
