Karin, Jason and I went to the comedy show thing on Friday night organized by the KFM crowd. What a blast! It was WELL worth it and brought about many laughs.
Before the show we met up with Richard and Ian and also with Mike and his family.
Microsoft word has a facility where you can post directly to your blog. This is great feature to help with blog posting and also the easy of posting using an environment which people are familiar with.
Naturally word comes with all the spell checkers etc to ensure your typo’s are sorted out before posting.
You can also post graphics directly which will then be uploaded.
Very Cool
Cheers

This products seems to be incredibly easy to use. I will be testing it to see if it will help me, and as a result report and blog more often.

Picture of our "other" family member.
We are now all settled and dandy. The children have all been accepted and returned to their previous schools and have reunited with previous friends and made a whole bunch more.
Karin and I are back to routine and although there are a number of issues still to be sorted out as a result of our move to Windhoek. (One being the big debt hole it created and now needs to be sorted) We are delighted and so is the family!
We are officially starting our move back to Cape Town (Somerset West) on the 3rd December 2007.

I have over the last couple of months been doing a LOT of thinking about a lot of things. Personal, Work related, and just about how people and cultures act around one another. It is interesting to watch and learn how behaviours change.
As a thinker, it is difficult to put those thoughts in writing, because it is difficult to find the right words to describe something, by the next day you may feel the chosen words were not entirely accurate. This can hold people back in committing. At the time when you had those thoughts or opinions, It was based on the information you had at the time and your personal Psyche (right or wrong).
Writing it down commits you. Not writing it allows you to change your mind because you have not yet commited your thoughts.
By commiting your thoughts you kind of make them finite. And what if we wrong. Hec man, we all make mistakes … it depends if we big enough to admit it and fix it.
So my point is, Do not be scared to commit your thoughts to paper or to someone. By not doing it, potentially holds you back from moving on. Be confident and trust yourself.

Steve, my brother in-law has come to visit to show off his landy … What a cool car.
We expect more photo’s on this soon.
With the advent of me moving to Namibia, left a possible thought that the clarion user group will go south … this is not true. Even though the Clarion guys in CPT are all busy , they make a point of getting together to discuss urgent matters at hand … and the not so urgent.
Check out the articles on how and where you can get information and help on Clarion . An Extremely good article published by Lesley Dean on the 12th October 2006 “Am I alone” see the blog . .http://www.clarionusergroups.com/

Moving to another country is a big adjustment and taking that decision is not something I did lightly.
There are family considerations and convienences we had previously which we cannot enjoy any longer … like sitters
We painted a large portion of our house to colour which better fits our style, as loud greens and yellows are not my (our) style.
With the green walls taking 6 coats to convert it to white … it was not so much fun any more!!! In hind site, I learnt a lot of “How NOT to change colours on your walls to white”. Putting white on directly is a bad idea as the bright colours shine through … what you supposed to do … (wish i knew that earlier) is to put on a grey coat of paint first and then apply the white… this apparently works best.
IVY, What a mess. People have the need to grow ivy on their home walls outside because it looks “nice” … well - whatever!
The ivy in our back garden was brown and deadish … I wanted it to go, but what IVY does is it “glues” itself to your walls and if you try remove it, it takes the paint off as well. (No good!)
The branches grow up into your roof and move tiles etc, thus damaging your property … If you one of those who think ivy is the thing you want on your walls .. think about your resell value and the challenges it comes with to get it off!
I am going to strip the paint on the outside walls in 2007 and redo (Paint) it to get rid of the IVY imprints!
Our garden has a lot of trees, greens and traditional desert flowers .. very nice .. it is in my oppinion just a bit to much, so we pruning and grafting it to suite something that we can keep clean and tidy.
See my next post about our EXTRA pets ..
