You know when you get the feeling that you’re getting a nudge from life to refresh? There’s an upgrade available & you’d better bloody well do the install NOW.
Spring fever in all its rampant exuberance is starting to course in my blood. Within a week the Southern Hemisphere world has transformed into a bright wonderland: the air is warm & silky and smells like freshly cut grass and promise. Feeling it too?
I’m lucky enough to live close to the beach & walked out to stick my toes in the sand early this morning.. and realised that the big blue water has gone through her own mood change too. In winter the Cape waters are a big wave riders paradise: the Atlantic is frigid, powerful and demanding.. if you go into her depths you’d better know what you’re doing or be in jeopardy of a solid hammering.
But in summer she flips playful and most inviting in crystalline tranquil turquoise (in a heart-stopping surprise/practical joke kind of way when you dive into the still bracingly chill - thoroughly invigorating! FUN)
Anyway as I was saying.. it’s the time for reinvention. Ah perhaps re.creation?! Maximizing 2.0 :)

Ringed by rambling vineyards and white sand beaches, could it get more gorgeous? Oh yes.. and the humans emerge in abnormally beautiful varieties here too %-)

Alex (the 4yr old laptop) shows me the camera & tells me about Skyping her granny in the States.. and wants to see who I’m speaking to (real-time typing an acceptable form of speaking to her) .. we tootle over to Flickr, where she recognises the painting hanging in the lounge from my photos on Flickr.. and so it goes.. her world seamlessly connected into mixed-reality existence, as with all Born Digital babes, this interconnectedness is normal :-) We are building the multidimensional worlds they will live and work in. NOW.
