It's been a while since I posted here.
This is the view from my window today. Overcast but warm.
I've started to settle back into life at home now, which hasn't been easy. The daily load shedding power cuts have sort of become nothing to be too concerned about and the public seems to be getting used to them, although this week there have been none, so obviously the demand for electricity has been less. Eskom and municipalities have started to install switching devices in homes which can shut off the geysers. A bit of an intrusion I feel, but they seem to think that will reduce the use of electricity. Eskom will be able to send a pulse down the line which the unit will receive and activate the geyser shut off switch. Big Brother???? I only switch my geyser on about an hour before I take a shower and switch it off again later. (Update: this scheme didn't seem to take off)
An interesting situation at Durban airport last week. The tow bar broke on the aircraft tow vehicle, and to get the plane out the parking bay, about 12 ground crew pushed the SAA Airbus back.Someone sent me this the other day...
