I have been wanting to write an update now for some time, but the words would never come. Enthusiasm and self confidence has taken a bit of a knock so I needed to climb back up into the tree again. Finally off the ground now, so the only way is up (God I hate that song)!!!!!!!. New war-cry for Murphy Improvise, Overcome, Adapt ------- Laugh
Let's get rid of the blucsum (Spelt wrong I know) kak first shall we. The plan was simple. Sell house. Sell car. Sell furniture. Retire. Fly to SA with softness and cat. Buy house. Fix Dartboard to wall, near fridge, in Lapa by pool. Learn to fly. Buy Microlight. See Africa from the air as often as. Live the dream, be buried in the Kruger. Lekker plan.
Reality verses the dream is a bit different. Softness feels the need to start a business which she has always wanted to do, so the house we are buying does not quite fit the original plan of roasting meat, klippies, darts and flying. Budget for the microlight is also going on something else, so that dream will lay on the shelf for some time to come. It will happen, I will learn to fly eventually, but not now. Have other expences too that I did not budget for, so standing on the street corner for a while under a shade cloth is looking a distinct possibility. Sunglasses or Bananas????????
Flip the coin now. I have only worn jeans once since arriving here. Grubs excellent and the people also. Been to Nelspruit and driven through Bush Buck Ridge (Daytime). Seen the mountains and watched the sunrise and the sunset. It may be my imagination, but I also feel healthier - Despite the booze that softness frowns upon. The black population that I deal with daily!!! Some are nice, some not so nice. When they are nice, so am I. When they are not, neither am I and that's how I handle it so I do
Finally: I made a plan and here we are. The plan I made is not to be, so like a good South African I make another plan. Our future is here and I will be buried here in the land of my choosing with a Klipdrift for company on the long journey. The first thing to do is buy a home and continue to progress from there. The house has been chosen and if it interest's you I would be very happy to send you pictures. Just give me your email. Asseblief, come to the house warming when we are ready to welcome you one and all
