She must be really uncomfortable in this heat, I hope whatever they do it will be for the best and she will back in the pink pretty soon. Rev |

After the fire on the farm in South Africa, when we lost the fences and gates, it became an open house for mountain bikers, gays and transvestites. At night, I would go out on patrol in the 4x4 to try and scare them off. Some of the lady boys could be quite territorial and aggressive, as though our land was theirs. We didn’t want the farm to get a bad reputation. We weren’t insured in case any of them got hurt pursuing their interests. The Lycra’s had a network called ‘The Hub,’ that gangs were on our farm at night waiting to attack the cyclists and rob them of their bikes. This also forced the ‘alts’ to go elsewhere. Yes - the Lycra’s can be a bit of a handful, they look so precious in their designer gear We had homeless people living in the caves on the mountain. They never bothered us and i always thought how tough they were to live in such a harsh environment. We had plenty of water sources for them to use for washing and drinking, springs and streams. I used to speak to them, but they rarely spoke back. I always turned a blind eye to them being there. During the fire, mountain rescue had to go into the caves and get them to safety. The farm is part mountain and part vines on the lower pastures. Yesterday we were talking about selling it, but that’s another subject. Last edited by Gate Keeper; 25th July 2019 at 06:18.. |

Good morning all how is everyone? This morning we have a new bed arriving, a King size Ottoman and it has to come up 6 flights of stairs with 8 steps in each flight. I have paid for 2 delivery guys to bring it up flat packed and to assemble on site, but I don’t envy their job today with the heat.
Poor Jessica has the grapes from a stomach bug or eating bad food. Fortunately it’s something I managed to escape. The shingles virus is still in the eye and head. It was getting better, but the headaches come at night. It’s a difficult virus to shift, the docs have said I have to put up with it. The ice and Oramorph helps if it gets bad.
