I am not a techie when it comes to engineering but do have a friend who is an engineer from the industry currently working in Zambia. Thanks to him, I have some understanding that to plan and construct an electric network takes a methodolical and competent mind of the greatest order. At the electric pillar […]
Read More Electrifying orderNee, dit was nie ‘n poging om die wêreldteerpadtenkrolrekord te verbeter nie. Maar nou dat ek daaraan dink daar is na alle waarskynlikheid nie baie mense wat al watertenke in ‘n teerpad gerol het nie. Miskien moes ek eers vasgestel het of daar so rekord is en dit dan 5m verder gerol het ten einde […]
Read More Tenkrol in die Teerpad WêreldrekordAfter determining that evanescent, has nothing do with how Evan is smelling, I deduced that the above quote and title of this post is not trying to tell my that gossiping is bad or something similar.

Read More “Talk is evanescent, writing leaves footprints”The second time I visited Pilgrim’s Rest, a quaint restored gold rush town which was declared a Heritage site in 1986, was certainly less traumatic than the first time. The first time round I was about 9 years old and my sisters were respectively 5 and 8 years older than me. Friends of my parents and […]

Read More Die Ou Eik en die Graafmasjien (demolition of Old Oak bridge)I am not in sync with WordPress’s midweek photo challenge (and in comments I have seen that quite few bloggers agree with me). I was thinking of initiating a revolt or at least a coerced disagreement to put pressure on them to restore it to a Friday and I will certainly do that as soon […]
Read More Dangerously late or is it a dangerous latte?Dit is pouse en ek hardloop teen die trappe op vanaf die grondvloer na die eerste vloer van Laerskool Maria van Riebeeck. Soos wat dit my gewoonte is doen ek dit amper so vinnig as wat my standerd 3 bene my kan dra, al starende na die grond sodat ek nie mistrap nie. Nog voordat […]

It is also the first time I do a second installment of the same topic of the weekly photo challenge. If you want to know more about Elands Bay which we visited last weekend go to my previous […]

My army should be bigger than your army and my anti-missile systems more effective than your missile systems. In 1795 the Cape was governed by the Batavian Republic, the name given to Holland, after they were conquered early […]

Ons kamervenster kyk uit op op die agterplaas in die rigting van die 6 voet hoë vibacrete grensmuur.
