Me, my boy and a friend and his son went fishing today.
Some observations
First time in my life I needed( or let us say was asked for) a fishing license( luckily we had)
You could always fish where you like, now they have rules and fishing spots are numbered and you cant even choose, They tell you where to go. Funny thing is there is about 60 spots and there were about 25 cars. But they started at spot one and everyone was stacked at one side of dam and the whole other side was open. Some brains don't work, so with social distancing they now have rules and congest everyone in one area.
Never did 30min pass when some police or traffic vehicle did not drive past to look for offenders. Now what puzzles me is in town 20, 100 etc stand in queue 1m apart, taxis, vehicles are full of people less than 1m apart in a closed environment. You never see police. But I stand in the open air at a dam with the closest person 20-50m from me, but there is constant policing for the 50 people that is there for the day

Not a single fish, but man was it good to sit in the open, even the cold wind could not spoil it. It was -2 degrees when we arrived at 5H30, better than work or sitting at home, Sommer going again in the next week or two

Coincidentally, this just came up on Facebook -

And this is why things are looking as they do over in 'Murica.

Anti-maskers in Florida have their say.

I would laugh, but this is just so ignorant, that it's actually frightening.

View attachment 199553 Ok 15:00 Friday afternoon , now waiting for steel supports and lintels to arrive , looking good at this stage
- whole house was jumping while they compacted the floor The Dulux colour of the year is Tranquil dawn - that's the greenish one , will be the main colour , set off by a charcoal accent wall , not brownish as in pic.

How'zt bro. You've been busy.
Just a word of advice. Make sure they put plastic in that floor before they pour concrete.

SWAMBO has been at the Hospital the whole day. They are currently at capacity and have a shortage of staff. Had another death of a positive patient 2 days ago. Patient was admitted for respiratory distress, immediate swab was taken. Patient died before her test results came back. I'm going to have a few lonely nights in the next couples of weeks. Keeping myself busy with some DIY.

Thanx , that's the plan , and 1000% waterproofing all the walls , fed up with rising damp and peeling paint , previous painters made a royal fxkup with the waterproofing.

I still hear people saying that the don't fear SARS-COV-2 because of the low mortality rate. Yet the largest Ebola (something with a very high mortality rate) outbreak killed 11 000 people over two years, and here we sit 6 months in at the tip of 500 000 deaths with no herd immunity in sight. Even then death is not the only outcome from something that can hijack cells from just about every organ in your body.

I wonder if humanity will ever see the forest for the trees.

There’s plenty to be afraid of, but mass starvation is far, far worse. We can’t afford to be flippant about COVID-19, but at the same time we cannot afford to allow it to rule our lives. Food riots alone would result in far more deaths than the disease could possibly manage.

South Africa’s problems have been compounded by a woefully inept government where good intentions have been perverted by politicians’ lust for power, control and a slice of the pie. The populace are not taking the crisis lightly, but they are rebelling.

@Dela Rey Steyn Armed with your list of ingredients, I drove to Spar on Sat. First item on the list - meaty marrow bones. They didn't have. No ways was I going to drive, in torrential rain, to the wonderful butcher in Darling, so it will have to wait. Pity. It was just the right weather this past weekend for a wholesome broth or soup.

I get so mad when they don't have what I consider to be basic things, but they're ever so proud of the fact that they now stock fancy imported ranges of biscuits etc. Come on! This is a supermarket, not a gourmet boutique.
