See you!

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.

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 ..

PS:This is where I spend a lot of my working days… click on the link for the web site.

In Less than 24 Hours we will be out of South African Territory and in Namibian soils - ok .. sands. Looking forward to the adventure.

(See you from the other side.)

We finally arrived at our house in Windhoek. Unpacking and getting the goods all in thier “right place”.

The move went well and none of the goods were damaged, our mover, advance transport , did a fantastic job to secure all the items properly.

Very nice service! My Existing Telkom ISP account is going one way … away!

Soooo is you have an ADSL line an you want to get connected and need more than 3GB per month Click here and get the information HOT yourself.

Telkom do NOT offer Shared access, extendable access they only sell new login’s for new account config which is a drag since you now need to change your router information when you hit the cap. Web Africa provide a buy more if you need kind of service and then the best part is that you can connect up to 4 ADSL routers at the same time using the SAME account details. This mean that we can be connected at the Office and Home on the same 10 GIG! How cool is that!

Happy Interneting ….

This left me space to continue doing my work thing … but now I have to get all the work things packed up and ready to go. What a task. What to take what to leave. eish!

For those who do not know, we are relocating to Namibia, more specifically Windhoek. We got ourselves all geared up for it. Movers are coming tomorrow … Monday and we off before the first break of light on Tuesday Morning.

Will keep in contact and update you on my blog.

Cheers to Friends, Collegues and Family whom we leave behind …. hope to connect again soon!
