Wordless Wednesday #213 - Bridge running

Decicions... decisions

What to do on a public holiday in the middle of the week?

We've got mini-Friday here today.
Tomorrow is Human Rights Day here in South Africa!

- Stay in bed;
- Drive out to the countryside for a view;
- Stay at home and do some chores around the house;
- Catching up on some reading;
- Spending time with the toddler;
- A braai (barbecue);
- A movie or a rented movie;
- A nice lunch at a favourite restaurant.

It feels like it would be a waste to spend it in bed.
The weather is still lovely during the day!


What are you planning to do tomorrow?

Feeding the ducks at Rusty Hook

One of my happy childhood memories is feeding the ducks with my parents and grandparents at Florida Lake.

The excitement of a Sunday afternoon of collecting all the leftover bread and going for a ride to the lake...

Throwing bread crumbs to all the ducks that come swimming when they see that we have food...

That was fun!

Unfortunately Florida Lake is not a place that we want to go to any more. It feels unsafe, and the area has not been maintained. I do not know if there are still ducks in the area?

We found a place nearby which feels like getting a bit of nature, as well as giving the Toddler the opportunity to feed the ducks! At Rusty Hook.

I was a bit apprehensive that it would be "rusty", but it is a great restaurant and function venue in beautiful natural surroundings .

We will be back!

What childhood memories do you have of feeding the ducks?
