It's Cold in England

While we are having heat waves here in Sunny South Africa, others are experiencing winter. Angela took these photo's from her house recently. (I had to add one to get a collage.) Many schools were closed due to all the snow!! Notice too the size of properties there compared to what we have here. My job is starting to get interesting. I went on a painting course last week (theory) and will be doing some practicle next week. I am also learning how to quote on painting jobs. I'm trying to find a school in Pretoria to do a "Paint A Thon" on. I have a shortlist and hope to decide on one by next week.

I have nothing interesting to blog about myself!!! The week has been uneventful. I'm not sure which direction I'm heading in??? Maybe after speaking to the boss tomorrow things will be clearer. Other news is Herm's car was stolen today. Here are a few old photos of myself, my Mom, Dad and Italian grandfather.

New Car

Well this is the car that was given to me today. Its a rather small but modern car after my 1981 BMW. It has lots of gadgets and switches etc. I will read the manual later today. I have discovered that the radio control is on the wiper lever (as well as a few other functions)
This will make travelling around this area more bearable.(it has an airconditioner too)

PS. I felt a little stupid taking this photo of myself. I used the tripod again.

Visiting Day

Thanks for your e mail Angela. We miss you. I met John at Mugg & Bean at 0730 this morning. Look at the Jo'burg traffic!!! Then went on to visit Bessie. Chante (Colleens daughter) was also there.

Thai Supper

Noiy, Bronwyn's husband did a Thai supper tonight. 3 different dishes were cooked and served with rice. All had chilli in them.

Here are more photo's that were taken at Zoë's birthday.

I phoned my future boss today just to see if he remembered that I am going to start work there next week. All on schedule........... I am to report for work at 10am on Monday. (I like him already)
