We were in Johannesburg for our leave from work and late this afternoon Paul and I decided to go to the Botanical Gardens. We sat at the hide which overlooked Sasol Dam for about an hour. There wasn't a lot to see, except for a couple of yellow weavers and a red bishop. I managed to get quite a bit of reading and Sudoku done this afternoon.
