I decided to take a new walking route today, because on it I will see new areas, businesses and get new ideas for my daily notes. However, I started off going the exact same way. Today, I left later than normal and about 150 meters from our gate, water and small polystyrene balls were flowing […]
Blessed Father’s Day to all fathers, fathers to be, step-fathers, fathers-in-law and fathers through adoption. May God’s love, grace, mercy and kindness flood your soul, sustaining you in Christ, helping you to live your life for God’s glory, the furtherance of His Kingdom and as a blessing to your family. Now, I feel as though […]
It’s phenomenal how the world has changed during COVID-19. Even though we are in a new stage of Level 3 lockdown, many people are still working from home and learners and students are studying at home. Some people are returning to work every second week (one week in the office, one week at home), though […]
What do you do when you return home to a crying wife? I needed to do some shopping and Jenny stayed at home. I walked into the kitchen, unpacked my purchases, then walked into the bedroom and Jenny was really crying. I feel I can handle quite a bit, but when my wife is in […]
Last night, we cuddled up under the blankets to hear our president explain the next movement in the COVID-19 lockdown. Less than ten minutes into his speech, we experienced a power failure.

Today is Youth Day in South Africa. I have already posted a short video about Youth Day on YouTube, so I won’t say more about that today other than that 16 June 1976 was a terrible day that ought never to have happened. It did, though, and will always be remembered as the day when […]
It seems that one of the main things that grow and flourish during the winter are weeds. Over the last 2½ weeks, I sprayed Roundup Poison on the paving weeds twice and the weeds still flourish. Either someone took some of the poison and watered the rest down or the poison is “past its usable […]
The cold weather has been on its way for some time. It’s normal at this time of the year. Winter in Gauteng is from June to August … today is 14th June. Each weekday morning for the last two weeks has seen the temperature decline to close to zero. Whatever the temperature was last night […]
Today was the day I needed to have the vehicles washed and vacuumed, because the last time it was done was in March before lock down. As I was leaving home, Jenny said, “There is just a trickle of water coming out of the hot water tap in the kitchen.” I checked the bathroom’s hot […]
