(I was in a hurry when I took these photographs so y’all will just hafta live with the autofocus, OK?)
The last five or six times we went to Muizenberg market, I looked for but could not find a prep bowl tap — i.e. a single tap for cold water only, not a mixer.
On Sunday we saw this one and I snagged it, even though it’s not quite what I wanted (R180).
Well, lo and behold, we found the one below at the next table. Exactly what I wanted (Cobra Capstan – R200). So now I have a preb bowl tap spare.
While I much prefer the look of the Cobra Capstan range, I want a continuous mixer at the zink*. This makes it easier to select the temperature when rinsing, for example. Example above cost R180.
Tanya found this shower rose which she quite liked. R375.
And somewhere along the line I found some time to cut the holes for the three dominos. We’re still sort of deciding where to put the electric one, but I think I’ve settled on the layout in the picture.
* While the rest of the (civilised?) world calls ’em “kitchen sinks” or “basins”, in Cape Town we call ’em “zinks”. Much to the chagrin of SWMBO.
Personally, I think the rest of the world have it wrong. It *IS* called a “zinc” for the simple reason, they “were” made from the stuff, way back when. So – SWMBO – get used to it. *grin*
