Ok so I have been quiet the last couple of days, sorry about that but I have been down with some bug, that kicked my ass. So with a migraine and the chronic runs, I have had an awesome 2 days….. not…… must have been something I ate, and it’s punishment for ordering in instead of making myself dinner, but after the wonderful afternoon I spent having fun, the last thing I wanted was to cook. I will not mention where I ordered from, as I have already said enough.
I last mentioned the new public transport system into the city, and promised a report back, I love it, it’s quick and easy and at R10 a trip it’s the cheapest and easiest way to work. There is a feeder from the Civic terminus to the Gardens that goes up Long Street, at no extra cost, but it takes a little long and the walk is great exercise, which I’m in need of. I am now really considering selling my Vespa, as it’s not really needed any more, and with the saving in payment on it, the insurance, and the parking bay, I will save more than R4000 a month…. it’s a no brainer. It’s great to have a public transport system at last.

A good friend and client brought this in for me, it’s part of an article written by Charlotte Cohen, and it sums it up well. What is a honourable mensch It is a voice, and the understanding behind it. It is the eyes, and the intelligence behind them.

There is a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album Nebraska

There is a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album Nebraska that goes like this My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone My ma's in the backseat sittin' all alone As my pa steers her slow out of the lot for a test drive down Michigan Avenue Now my ma she fingers her wedding band And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands He's tellin' us all 'bout the break he'd give us if he could but he just can't Well if I could I swear I know just what I'd do Now mister the day the lottery I win I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again Now the neighbors come from near and far As we pull up in our brand new used car I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry and tell 'em all they can kiss our asses goodbye My dad he sweats the same job from mornin' to mornin' Me I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born Up the block I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowin' that horn The soun
