Friday!

Late morning - no reason, I just didn't feel motivated to get out of bed. Mippies wished I would get moving ... eventually I did. Ah, well ...

Traffic was back to normal today! Traffic police kept drivers in line - very little risky overtaking this morning! You know, it's not really overtaking - that implies you safely overtake a single car. That doesn't happen in South Africa. The 'safely' part.

Anyway, even the robot at Rosslyn road was under police protection! Yesterday, whenever it was green for me to go, the road was blocked by traffic from the right - and, even with the robot red for them, they kept coming! I literally stood at the green robot, unable to drive - three turns! Second turn I started hooting, third turn the traffic on the right stopped when it was red for them. This morning, traffic police stood at the corner - and for a change, ONLY turning traffic was in the turning lane! One guy did dash out of the queue - the police stopped him as he tried to turn!

Well, I took my book along, so I got through quite a lot of pages. I'm currently reading a book of Science Fiction novelets, as it's called. With short novels by James Blish, Lester del Rey, Arthur C Clarke, Poul Anderson, etc. 

Back at home, first thing I tried was my new steamer! Wow! Powerful! Now I understand why there's a five minute waiting time to re-fill and re-heat! I managed to steam the whole pavement outside my bedroom, though. And along the wall. Now, lets see what happens ... 

It didn't just produce steam, but it came out at quite a speed - blowing everything out between the cracks ... so I'm hoping the roots got a good burst of steam!

Then I went and carried on clearing the area by the wall ... Mewthos came and sat with me, to protect me from Smeagol, ha ha! That poor bastard seems to be starving! He's just fur and bones! I gave him another two pouches of wet food!

Back inside, I thoroughly enjoyed the braai-pack I bought at the butchery today! A pork chop, a lamb chop and a sausage - and that sausage? Awesome!

Bathed, now winding down ... mippies are in my arm chair, so I ... oops, spoke too soon! Ziva is calling ...
