....this is exactly what I feared when I took on the role of logistics and doing it myself....in fact today I could not get a trailer and had to put a 1 ton ICB on the back of my Ford Ranger...the bakkie can handle this load but not too stable on the freeway as the front wheel road contact becomes poor and steering is problematic...but being stopped by traffic cops earlier only made me think that there would be more of these opportunists that may look to cite me for overloading if I used back roads to make the delivery ....so I came back on the freeway doing 80km/hr....this is when you really notice who is on the road and driving at a similar speed in less than roadworthy passenger cars....some stuck with me for most the journey a considerable distance between Katlehong and Tembisa....:dry:

.....well after just one day....I am not the neighborhood target (yet) for walking my dog around the complex.....a major feud has broken out between new neighbors over a mass barrage of people coming into the complex to buy overpriced face masks hand sanitizer and latex gloves the one young entrepreneur is offering on social media
....while I was out yesterday apparently our complex resembled similar scenes to that of Alexandra Township ....all is now quiet on the Sabbath....business to resume when the new stocks arrive on Monday....:whistle:

I will spend these first 21 days on self improvement( try get on my exerbike twice a day - do some weights etc)- Do some of those chores I've delayed for years - Try to influence my wife's taste in music and series as she's a captive audience now - I've pretty much cut my vices since Jan 2020( my 50th birth-year ends in April so time to grow up?) with no smoking or drinking and almost no gambling(last had a bet maybe a month ago and before that maybe in early December - Anyone wanting to give up gambling or any other vice now is the time - If you can make 30 days you could stop for life -

Good morning all and its only day three 😷
I must say its going to be difficult to stay at home and although we could not be in a better place, its just the restrictions that play on your mind.
For the kids the trampoline is a big hit and great exercise.
Education has been downloaded from dept of education to keep minds also alert.
As far as the "auld yins" we have been married 46 yrs today, so a slightly different day planned 😢

I spent an hour yesterday watching monkeys in the trees with binoculars, did you know they have blue balls and wee red willies?

I am sure we have been totally bombarded with whatsapp messages, mostly of a funny nature and some very serious.

We should spare a thought for the millions who cant be imposed to any type of curfews, who live day to day and have 5 to a room, no food, no drink and will be hard hit with a virus outbreak.
It will be a massive blow to SA both medically and financial.
I just hope we can survive this but most indicators are not favourable.

I will post my playlist song for today keeping in line with the 46years
