Port Elizabeth
I’ve been in Port Elizabeth for a week now. The city was named after Elizabeth Donkin, the wife of the acting Governor who died in India. (Remember British Rule)
It is a clean well kept city. There are 3 lighthouses here which I have visited and been to the top of 2 of them. I managed to catch a baby African Oyster Catcher much to the parent’s disgust. They behave like the Kiwit – fly away to distract you from the chick and send signals to the young one on what to do. It was very obedient and played dead. I also went to “BayWorld” and saw the museum, Snake Park, Croc’s and aquarium. The dolphin show was good.
Work is doing audio grams and spirometry tests on industrial workers. It is in an office block and makes a change from the mobile units. There is another Lighthouse on Bird Island which I will try to get to while here. Not an easy one to get to as it is about 8 kms out to sea and protected by the National Ports Authority and various Environmental Organisations.

Harties
I am at Hartebeespoort Dam house sitting for the weekend.
I woke up at 10am today as all the early mornings in Jo'burg are getting to me, took a slow drive around the dam and of course shopped at "Jasmyn."
The dam is full and the sluices were open. (Pity I didn't have a camera with me)
I will be back in Durban in 2 weeks time to get more machines out and grow the business. Meanwhile I heard today that "They are making money"

My First Grandchild at School
Zoe started "Big School" at Umhlali Primary this week. I saw her last week, she is losing her "Babyness" and becoming a little lady. Thanks for the photo's Jen.
Back in Jhb
After a successful business month in Durban of setting up vending machines I have returned to Jhb to do some more medical work for Life Occupational Healthcare. The machines brought in R30 000 of which my share was R9000. The Ballito agent had a small share of this. I will also attend a Just Fun Operators meeting on the 29th to investigate further possibilities. Charmaine will look after the vending while I am away. Its raining here and the traffic is still crazy.
