Change!

Weather change....on the clock...15:10....and the first three pictures were taken...almost after the other which I posted earlier today! That was taken 10 to 3!




The next three pictures were taken at 19:45. Compare picture 3 with picture 4....and Heathrow is...quiet!!





1.7 Million SA's!!

Perhaps a good question....it is meant to be summer! This first picture was taken on the 21st of August! The others, today, at 10 min to 3! Asking myself....where is our summer....and the clouds are getting darker....it rained last night just after 12-ish...midnight....and in picture 3....you can see Heathrow still busy.....despite the weather....
Interesting...I heard....(from our friends) that at any given time, there are 1.7 million ....yes...MILLION....South Africans in the UK!! Numbers are the highest during August/September and the lowest during December...but...at any given time...!! and (if my memory hasn't gone lost)...at any given time...(again)...there are 350 000 South Africans in the M25! So, dear Government...let us start a few South African schools!! Like in Auckland...there are TWO South African schools in Auckland and there are some schools having Afrikaans as a subject!!! Wow!!

Spring!

The first day of Spring in South Africa!! And this is how I remember Pretoria!! The Jacaranda trees almost fully in bloom! When it's October, I will just admire these pictures and picture it in my mind!

On this picture you can see the City Hall of Pretoria.

Telcom Tower in Groenkloof
The city also called the Jacaranda City.
This picture shows the view from the city from the Union Buildings, you can see the gardens of the Union Buildings. The "black" building is the Reserve Bank and the tallest building to the right of it is Absa-bank.





These last two pictures are from the Union Buildings, it was made of sandstone and was designed by Sir Herbert Baker and in November 1910 the cornerstone was laid.

....I like this song...


That's What Friends Are For

Performed with Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder
Written by BacharachReleased as a UK single in 1985

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
