I took the opportunity this morning, to see for myself the natural pool that has formed behind my cousin's house...well, while it is still there! Who knows, if the sunshine steadies for the next few days, chances are, the inundated field will only be a muddy, if not a dusty plot again.
Perhaps, this is nothing to anybody...but I find it pretty tranquil

and a view on a hot day some time ago:
...for a great morning of 'sight-seeing' (hahaha!) and also a good cup of rooibos tea! ;)
I drive home afterwards feeling light and easy whilst humming this cute song quietly...
Come, sing with me! :-)
