My dear friends
It's a Friday afternoon, the weather is lovely and I should be outside in the fields with my dogs or under a thorny African bush, looking at the waterhole as the wild closes in to quench their thirst...
Instead, I am close to Reading in a glass box, trying to sort out my Blog settings so that I can reply to all your friendly (well I can be hopeful) comments, but the water seems a bit deep for this man, albeit from the West Coast of South Africa, used to "plakkie duik". To my English friends and those that does not know its how we catch crayfish where I am from. You are in shorts and flip-flops (plakkies) and to keep the cold Benguela stream from changing more than your voice, you also have burning in your stomach 3 glugs of Obies or Old Brown Sherry - It's the only thing that works against the cold!!
Anyways, the frustration I bare this afternoon is to reply to comments. I have had some feedback from a Dutch gentleman, but still I am unable to comment on any Blog or reply to comments. Please bare this in mind when you leave a comment, I will reply to it as soon as I can.
I will have to leave it for the moment and return to the accounting millstone.
Before I go, please have in your thoughts all mankind that suffers, but especially those from Japan, Libya and Africa. We are Blessed to be safe, healthy and able!
Have an excellent weekend, with this good weather I will soon have to get those old gloves out and prepare my back for serious gardening.
Till next time
Conrad

I think we have in the past, but it likes that salty dry earth from our valley more
