Wednesday was a public holiday. We woke up in Fish Hoek, went for a nice long walk on the beach and popped into Kalk Bay to see the gallery and have some famous Fish and Chips at Kalkies. Then home, some gardening, a fish braai and an early night as Joanne was working Thursday. Here is our day in photos as well.

This fish had our name on it.

Joanne foraging.

Our haul. Fennel, carrots, Leeks, Spring Onion.. Off camera is Edible flowers, spinach and sage.

Joanne's apple, fennel and flower salad.

Nomm Nomm.

Cooking with Joanne.

My attempt at Yellowtail pickled fish. Joanne said, "best ever".

Adding the sauce.

Rest of the Yellow tail was used for supper. Flash pan fried on the hot coals for 2 minutes with fennel to crisp the skin and then grilled for 3 minutes.

Ooooo la laaaaaa.

Thursday was nice to be home. I was home all day for a change. The studio was a buzz with about 12 old artworks that I am painting over. I also managed to catch up on my admin and even spent an hour in the garden with Hendrik and our 8 worm farms. We did a complete overhaul and made up 16 new farms and used the soil created by the worms to add to the garden. Such a cool feeling.

Joanne came home and we had some left over fish. Angelina and Emma came over, and they started to dress the house for their 1920’s party.

Angelina and Emma creating the artwork for their 1920's themed party Friday night at the Melkbos Mansion. Danielle looking on.

I was the guest speaker at this year’s Melkbos Open Studios. So, Joanne and I headed to the Melkbos Hotel and mingled a bit. I met the owner of the Art Gallery in the waterfront Dirk. He’s the guy who now sells Johan Nothnagel’s art. Remember I introduced Johan to John at Hout Bay Gallery and John suggested he go see Dirk. Well Johan is now sell his art and very successfully.

Richie got his Commercial Pilot's license certificate Thursday night at the annual Morning Star ceremony event. Whoop Whoop.

Proud Dad. Well done Richie. One of your dreams come true from age 5. 

We didn’t stay to long and headed home to see what the kids had done to the house. We walked into the house, and it was like we walked back in time to 1920. The kids did a great job.

We only got to bed at 11pm, which is late for us early birds.

Friday night Angelina booked the house for her 20^th Birthday Party, so I booked Joanne and I a nice spot in town Friday night. We have been wanting to move to town for some time, so Friday night will be nice as a trial run.

Nonetheless I dropped Joanne at work nice and early and headed to shift where I am sitting right now typing to you. I had a nice double espresso and got Joanne a Macadamia milk Cappuccino takeaway. I have just done my banking and am gonna head out in 15 minutes to go run a few errands. I need white backing board for all the new “Circular” works I am creating in studio and then I need to head to Mervyn and see what the next steps on the ceramic vases is. 

Got our stash of Atlas Spices.

Sent Richie this pic of his tea set that just came out of the kiln.

Lunch at SAIGON was next level.

Saturday was The Melkbos Art Walk with Open Studios. All the artists open up there studios to the paying public. I had so many visitors that I only had two 5 minute breaks. It was awesome. Even I got overwhelmed. An early night and up again Sunday doing the same. I am in studio now taking a five minute break to catch up on the blog.

Good Morning from our AirBnB.

Enjoying life.
