I went to Jenny's home early this morning and said Hi to all. Dionne took me to his workshop where he did some welding for me then he took me to Wimpy for breakfast. He gave me a brand new all purpose fishing rod which I will use at Shelly Beach. I'm glad it comes apart so I can transport it easily. I felt a bit of an idiot posing for this photo as I was by myself and used the tripod and timer.

Gentlemen of the Road

I met "Okkie" today. He hails from Welkom and is in Durban for the winter. He tells me he is a Boiler Maker by trade. He gets by from folding palm leaves and selling them. I was impressed by his sculptures. He is very talented. We had a laugh about the headache he will have after spending the money he just earned!!!

More Road People

I met Wayne when his child was 3 months old. Well Crystal had her first birthday 2 months ago. They earn their money by selling cracker shrimps (highly illegal) to fisherman as bait. He has been on the road for 10 years now. He works near the Maritime Museum so if you are in his area say "Hi"

Another Car!!!

I may buy this car soon. The owner leaves for Scotland tomorrow and has given me a fair price. I will use it to get to Shelly Beach soon. Thanks for offereing me the use of the fishing rod Dionne, I will be in Ballito on Tuesday morning to fetch it. Hey Jenny ....... what about a breakfast somewhere??? I miss the breakfasts we had when I used to do "MySchool" calls in Ballito.

Happy Birthday Neville

Neville turns 20 today. We wish you a great day and even better year ahead. I arrived in Durban yesterday. The weather is great.
