Family from the east pitched in today to paint our little cottage. Wife E. chose the colours. The builder commented: "You'll get used to it." A minister friend commented: "Every man to his own." However, when I first saw it, I thought it looked really good. Much better than anticipated. Wife E. said: "I
told you." (The shade of violet nicely complements the colour of the wood).
OBSERVATION: One finds neon colours all over South Africa. We of European stock, however, tend to prefer more muted colours.

POSTSCRIPT: My sister-in-law calls it "kwaai", which means something like "radical
/
beautiful".
