Vanmiddag een helse kragonderbreking - weer.
Wat my die meeste verbaas was dat die twee grootste petrolstasies nie
noodkragopwekkers gehad het nie, en hulle toe ook toegemaak het.
Doodse stilte toe ons by die huis kom - en ek kon nie werk nie.
Toe lees ek maar die koerant, en slaap die stilte uit.

Die kriekettreurmare duur voort.
Graham Smith moet maar liefs sy praatwerk met sy kolf op die veld doen.
Die Suid-Afrikaners lyk bra pateties.
Die tyd vir 'n nuwe kaptein en afrigter is noodsaaklik.
Onder die leiding van Ray Jennings of Keppler Wessels kan dinge
verbeter. Micky Arthur se noemnaam kom tot sy reg.
Vier matrikulante van Affies Hoër is toelating tot die Mediese Skool
by Tuks geweier. Die seuns het almal tuseen 6 en 8 onderskeidings
behaal.
Tuks reserveer 65% van sy eerstejaar getalle aan swart studente. Daarna
word Kleurling en Indiërs geakkommodeer, daarna blanke dames en blanke
mans heel laaste.
G'n wonder dat die Vryheidsfront die sterkste politieke party op die
Tuks kampus is nie.
Die goeie nuus is dat die vier wel toelating by UOVS gekry het.
Dalk tyd geword om die span so bietjie tussen sy bene te skop. Nog nooit het
'n SA span so baie blapse in die veld gemaak nie, die kolwers bring nie
hulle kant nie, en die boulers is straks die kluts kwyt.
Voeg daarby 'n kaptein met 'n helse ego, en 'n afrigter wat na hom luister
in plaas van andersom, en ek kan verstaan hoekom ons vandag weer besig is om
ons gatte te sien
Who can provide us with the appropriate Afrikaans translation of 'off-beat'
Die Burger oor Soekershof Walkabout: Familievermaak met een opvoedkundig
verskil.
Ons (malle Hollanders) praat lekker deurmekaar Afrikaans
Going 'Off-beat'
For the broad-minded personalities always in search for the unusual there is
Soekershof Walkabout in Klaas Voogds West between Robertson and Ashton.
'Weird but Passionate' hosts; great stories; a wealth of plantlife; the
worlds' largest hedge-maze; time-travel with Albert Einstein; a stone-age
cinema; the New South African Handshake; philosophers garden and, of course,
the highly acclaimed succulent gardens with more than 2400 different species
from all over the world in the unprotected open air. Visitors can earn a
memorable reward by fullfilling a quest in the Klaas Voogds Maze.
This Maze is not a Maze in the traditional perception that you have to get
lost but is a reflection of life; walking from one story into another which
are visualised by objects, as orientating points, towering above the hedges.
However there are, as in life, also a few 'stories' you will have to look
for. And ........ visitors are invited to make their own stories.
A visit to Soekershof is hard to describe for it is a very personal
experience as can be found out in the 'love-letter' section of the
Soekershof website (http://soekershof.com).
The own Soekershof nursery distinguishes itself from other (specialist)
nurseries by providing visitors with sufficient custumised cultivation
information. Sometimes even by refusing selling a plant if, distilled from
the information provided by the client, it turns out that the environmental
conditions (climate, location, etc.) are not suitable. From statistics,
f.e., it's known that 60 to 70 percent of the succulents including cacti
sold in the Cape Town area die within months or will never prosper.
In short: The place where Klaas Voogds, James Bond and Albert Einstein
meet..........
And: everything you always wanted to know about sex .......... between
plants but never dared to ask.
A visit takes at least 1.5 to 2 hrs. Visitors are invited to bring their own
picnic.
See website http://soekershof.com for precise road directions and 'What
visitors can expect'.

Real Wire-Art
The creation of the 2.5 metre high wire baobab tree at the entrance of
Soekershof Walkabout in the beginning of 2002 has an enormous spin-off for
wire-artist Messina Mussindo ("You may call me Joey").
The making of the second tree which can be found in the South African
embassy in Berlin gave the international career of Joey momentum with
various creations displayed in musea and galleries in Europe and the USA.
Work of Joey can also be found in several private collections around the
globe. The wire branch on the verandah of guesthouse Mardouw between
Swellendam and Ashton is one of the refined examples of Joey's work.
Joey has his workshop and outlet at Soekershof Walkabout and lectures
visitors of this 'primary unusual destination' about him being born in or
between the baobabs and the traditional connection between South Africa and
Australia. Above all Joey's demonstration of his so called 'one-wire-art'
shows his ability of innovation in wire-art.
Etienne, ek het vir jou geantwoord en toe verskyn
dit nie. Nou merk ek eers dat die nuusgroep
assyrian is. As jy dit daar kan lees, gaan lees
dit. Ek is te lui om alles weer oor te sê.
Waarom reageer mense op die nuusgroep op drek wat hier geplaas word?
Glo my - die anonieme ouens wat die snert plaas stel nie belang in die
rasionele uitruil van idees nie. Maar hy/sy word aangevuur deur enige
reaksie daarop. As julle 'n verdere verduideliking nodig het laat weet.
Ignoreer hulle soos 'n stopstraat my ou.
Op Outlook Express blok ek bloot daardie ouens. Voortaan blok ek ook
diegene wat hierdie ouens se vuur stook.
(Soms wonder ek of die drekplasers en ouens wat daarop reageer nie
dieselfde persone is nie...)
So - was die aanspraak deur die "Gay & Lesbian Alliance" dat hulle lede
bloed geskenk het nadat hulle vals besonderhede verstrek het 'n klug?
Wie weet?
'n Demograaf meld vanoggend op Monitor (RSG) dat 'n verdere nagenoeg 2
miljoen mense in die volgende 10 jaar tot die middel (ekonomiese) klas
gaan toetree.
