The past two nights, load shedding was from 18:00 - 20:30. Tonight we're moving up a slot, to 16:00 - 18:30.
I was home very early again - half past four! Lovely, eh? So first I went to feed the visiting cats and then I went to sit with the two babies. Aren't they just too cute for words?
The one on the left, is the more adventurous one. That's the one I've been able to pick up, carry indoors, feed inside, etc. Seeing them together now, you can clearly see the difference. The one on the right is still very wary of me - hisses and stares at me for ages, deciding whether it's safe to approach the food bowl ... I picked it up, after it had eaten most of the food - it fought, hissed and clawed at me like a fury! Ha Ha! Fortunately, its claws and teeth have not yet reached the razor effect ... not yet.
Again, I showered before load shedding, then sat and pampered my tomato plants. I started with the ones growing in the pots ... an hour later, a bin full, I only managed to start on the plants growing in the bed!
This morning I got to work quite late ... having a quick sprint through the sprinklers going full blast in my garden, ha ha!
At work, someone kindly offered to take me along as they were going to Orchards Spar! Big relief! I have already run out of cheese!
Oh, this just HAS to be satire, right? Big headline: Eskom's offices' power cut by municipality for failure to pay their electricity bill. Nope, it's true! Unbelievable! Eskom has been cutting municipalities' power for non-payment ... yeah, you just can't make this shit up! Ouroboros! Snake eating it's own tail!
With all the load shedding for the past seven months, everyone is now jumping on the band wagon to profit from this crisis. Energy experts are blasting each other, ANC is trying to convince their voters that they're fixing the problem; the DA is today marching to Luthuli House to demand transparency from the ANC, while the ANC Youth League is gathering at Luthuli House to 'defend their home'!
Never mind all the new spin business are putting on their advertising for solar panels, inverters and generators ...
I'm not sure how I'm getting home today ... It's now half four ... better publish, just in case.
