@ Jojo,
Yup, we only had a handful of sunshine-filled days while travelling all over.
And when we got back to London, it was also gloomy
...
N73 battling in these conditions:
This has to be the wettest, gloomiest Summer since I've been in the UK...

And for how long are you over there? On the 23 of June this year I have been for exactly 20 years in SA (ok I fly home for holidays but officially I reside in SA). South Africa has changed a lot in this time - the question is - are the changes for the good or . . . If Tabo won't clap hand with such vigour for Mugabe, I might just stay for another 20

@ama - Now those are what I call . . . UNDER-the-WEATHER pics

@ Jojo,
Yeah, the pics sharpness really suffered in those conditions. This one of Buckingham Palace was taken with the N73 on the same day, albeit earlier in the day, and the sharpness is fortunately better despite the cloudy conditions.
@ Mario,
I don't know boet. That's a Million Pound question. Financially it makes absolute sense to stay here, but I miss the SA life in the Eastern Cape tremendously at times.

@ama - You're a TEACHER in school - right
I am just quite puzzled with how things are SPELLED in such landmarks at your end
What I was taught of is that when names ends in: S and Z . . . it usually being followed by an - apostrophe and NOT with an apostrophe - S
Check out the image/name I saw in the pic you have uploaded . . . I guess it should read: St. Thomas' Hospital and NOT St. Thomas's Hospital . . . your thoughts

@ Jojo,
It is indeed spelled here (and in SA etc) with an apostrophe and a 's', if a noun ends in a 's' (ie. Thomas) and you want to use it as a possessive noun or adjective, ie. St Thomas's Hospital, or princess's coronet, etc.
As you know, if it doesn't end in a 's', it would just have the singular 's' after the apostrophe,
ie. Jojo's sinigang.

Before I forget, in SA, they have something similar to 'tapa'. It is called biltong.
