OH yes, our average day time temperature is 23 C in the winter. It drops to below freezing overnight for a few weeks of the year, but we rarely get frost where I live and I’ve only seen snow twice during my lifetime in Johannesburg.
Very creative—-As was the List! I think I’ve voted for your entry twice but I had to vote for Creepy Critters (I think it was) before the page would turn to get to yours.
HI Danny, thank you for going to the trouble of voting, I appreciate it. I’m not in the first category – Halloween house, as mine isn’t a house. I thought the entries were great.
Sorry, Robbie! I again missed a wonderful chance. ;-( But, how funny are you new creations? The baby ghost. Lol Thanks for sharing this very impressive visual enjoyment. I hope you all had a funny Halloween, and can start to a wonderful week! xx Michael
Hi Meeks, I liked the bust too. It is made using gingerbread biscuits covered with ginger clay. I’ve never heard of ginger clay but I play to look it up.
Oh, but I have watched The Gods Must Be Crazy – it is very famous here. Australians and South Africans do share similarities in lifestyles and other things, that is why Australia is such a popular immigration destination. All my cousins on my father’s side live in Perth.
Oh! -giggles- I should have known. And you’re so right about the similarities between our two countries. I ended up watching the Gods again yesterday, and I marvelled at how familiar the landscape felt. If you guys ever decide to emigrate – I hope you come to Melbourne. 😀
-giggles- I have a feeling South Africans and Aussies have a very similar sense of humour. 😀
I first discovered this when I watched, and fell in love with, ‘The Gods Must be Crazy’.
Go get em Robbie! Voting now! Beautifully done!
