Tails’ Blography

So, since everyone is blogging about it (here and here), I thought I might as well too, moreso for my readers who dont reside in Cape Town.

Cape Town has been having some frightening fires lately, some in Paarl , Somerset West, Jonkershoek, and now Rhodes Memorial area to name a few. Arson is suspected, but nothing concrete has been determined.

The Rhodes Memorial fire started yesterday and already people were evacuated from their houses late last night. Two people were injured whilst sleeping in the bushes (why? I do not know!) in Vredehoek and were taken to hospital.

Its heartbreaking to see Cape Town in flames, and somewhat unsettling to think it may be arson. Maybe something to do with the vote coming up next month? Who knows. Its just so sad…think of all the wildlife and all the people scared to lose all their belongings….sigh.

Unfortunately, I havent captured any photos of this event, but there are more than enough in the links provided above to give you an idea of how it all looks. Due to a cloudy day, I cant even see any smoke from my place, despite being a mere 10-15 min away. Come to think of it, I cant even smell any smoke. Maybe they have it under control? Here’s hoping!

PS: Title of my post derived from a show called The IT Crowd…if you’ve never seen it, watch it! Its flippen funny!

So a good few weeks ago I entered 5 of my photos into a local photo competition and today I found out I came in second! Ok, so its not first place, and I was bummed at not winning first place (I never win anything haha) but I’m still proud with 2nd place!

Then, on closer inspection, I found it came with a prize of R200!! Yay! That money will probably be used for something mundane like my cellphone bill, given my latest financial status, but at least its something, and for that, I’m thankful!

Nothing more to say about this other than it had me rolling around on the floor laughing…almost literally! I do hope none of the mice were hurt in the wheel though…

The responsible rodent-owner in me is urging me to mention that it’s too easy for rats/mice tails/feet/hands to get caught between the bars and lopped off Proof of why a Wodent Wheel type wheel is much better and much safer for your long tailed rodent pet.
