A Cape Town pet owner found her dog could no longer walk on its own, so she improvised with whatever was on hand and wheeled it to the vet in a baby pram. The small act of care has been doing the rounds online since.

A City of Cape Town traffic officer, Diedre Thomas, stopped roadside to comfort a crying baby while the parent dealt with a breakdown, and the moment was caught on camera and shared widely since.

Hidden Gems 3 finds

Courtyard 53 in Plumstead is a quiet garden courtyard with a nursery, small shops and a café tucked among the plants, the kind of spot you wander into for ten minutes and stay for an hour. Good for a slow Sunday browse.

Kloof Corner rewards a short, steep climb up wooden steps off Kloof Road with one of the widest views in the city, Table Mountain to Lion's Head to the Atlantic, Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles all at once. Free, best near sunset.

Cushty's in Green Point is the neighbourhood café locals quietly rave about for its coffee and cooked breakfasts, a calmer alternative to the Bree Street queues a few minutes away.

Quote Of The Day

“The plane approaches Cape Town and, as always, I am astonished by the view of Table Mountain and the surrounding sea. It is so overwhelmingly beautiful that I feel the urge to belong.”

Justin Cartwright

That's the lot for today. Get out and enjoy the city while the cloud stays light.
