We’ve experienced several days of on-and-off rain. The showers are as typical (for winter) as they are needed, because reservoir levels are low throughout the Western Cape. I snapped this photo from the balcony of the CRSES offices. Compare to a similar photo from last week.
The Centre owns an E-motion electric bike, which none of the staff is using. Why not try it? Today I did. It is fun to ride. Electric power is delivered only when force is applied to the pedals. The effect is natural, and noticible. With Wikus’ encouragement, I went to Flandria after work to install wider, more-robust tyres (South African spelling). I hope to use it to reduce commute times, but Mark had to try it this evening. A race ensued, of course!
Also, Catherine’s iPad was fixed today!
