Durban Again


I moved back to Durban and now rent a loft in Durban North. I started off by ordering 8 more machines. This will now bring the total to 22. (minus 4 that Jenny has taken) I hope to have 30 of my own and would expect to make between R300 - R800 per machine. I know a lot more work must be done buy I am getting there. The photo was taken in my lounge.

Bessie


I had the privilege of having Bessie for a the day last weekend. She is now a frail 70 year old who cannot dress herself. Even eating is a battle due to the lack of mobility to her arms. She is mentally alert. She is a diabetic but loves sweet things. I took her to lunch then did a little shopping and finished off with tea and cream cake. ( Her blood sugar levels rose somewhat and she needed extra insulin.)

A new blog

I have started a new blog which will soon be about ME and not my activities. I will build up to the present quickly but it will give you a little background as to how I view myself.
http://walkwithmetoo.blogspot.com/
I have decided not to have this blog made public. If you want to read it let me know and I'll send you an invite.

Update

I am back in Jhb doing medical examinations for Life Healthcare. I only recieved 5 machines last month so am boosting the Christmas fund. I will be in Dbn over weekends to place more machines. I know I have not blogged regularly lately but I haven't done many exciting things. I will soon start another blog that will tell you more about myself rather than my activities. Thanks for the SMS's and e mails.

Webb Ellis Trophy


Ian has asked me to keep the Webb Ellis Trophy safely as he wants it back in 2011.

It is referred to as “Bill” and was named after the “inventor” of rugby William Webb Ellis. It was crafted in 1906 by Garrhard's (Regent Street) and is a Victorian version of a cup made in 1740 by Carrington & Co. of London. Queen Victoria appointed Garrhard's as the Crown Jeweler (and they still are)
It was used for the first time in 1987 for the world rugby champions. New Zealand was the first country to win it and hasn’t won it since. Australia won it in 1991 and South Africa in 1995 (the first time they competed for it) due to apartheid, sanctions restricted SA from competing in previous years.
In 1999 Australia became the first country to win it twice.
England was first Northern hemisphere country to win it in 2003.
South Africa won it for the second time in 2007.

The country that wins it 3 times keeps it for good.
Yes Ian it will be kept safely.
