Residents begin to communicate with the world
[permalink]

I made a WELL overdue visit to Clifton 4th each on Sunday with The Roofer. There was life-changing wind all over Cape Town but people seemed to forget about the magic of Clifton 4th beach. People seemed to forget that there is a very good reason why people pay up to (and including) R28million for a little house on Clifton 4th beach - it generally laughs at Cape Town's powerful South-Easter wind. Weather buffs will be insistent that I mention that this wind is known as the "Cape Doctor" - a concept that was satirised with the now-famous Ape Town range of T-shirts that have taken most of the earth by storm (unintentional).

[I am temporarily distracted by the new Trellidor commercial which features the company's MD standing behind an actual Trellidor as it protects him from a large ball swung by a crane directly at him. That's a little bit over the top, guys.]

The biggest change I noticed on 4th beach was that the residents seem to have constructed a nuclear-attack-proof post box station. I don't know who they commissioned to build that puppy but it looks pretty fucking serious.

4th beach post boxes- now able to receive bombs

So now, not only can you enjoy the dream living and laughing on Clifton 4th beach, but you can communicate with the world as well! The highly sough-after lifestyle that holidaymakers have long enjoyed (check out these gorgeous Clifton holiday rentals) is making a lot of sense.

Look, sure, how can we live it large in the paradise of 4th beach when the screams of victims permeate the air in other parts of the country? That is a fair comment, but, let's be honest, I doubt you'll hear a thing over the noise of the Veuve Clicquot popping on the verandah.

Mazel, mazel - good things. (with a rub of the ear lobe)
