I enjoy your posts Sandy, and appreciate the effort you put into doing what is right and just for us mere mortals. I simply dont have the time to formulate lengthy debates to post, in fact, I dont even read newspapers anymore...
At the moment I am a total one-man show, and my job description: Dentist, phytotherapist, farmer, garden boy, hole digger, plumber, admin clerk, accountant, accounts administrator, security guard, lab technician, cleaner, builder, horticulturist, receptionist, student, medicine maker, property seller, bottle washer and chief cook...
Please excuse me from adding another chore to the list!
Hopefully I'll have more time in the near future, yeah right...
But be sure that I always read your posts.... msn emoticon (9)

Ok now we have some movement ... What I'm actually saying Bertie is echoing what Patricia put in the shout box .. " where is everybody ? " I too have of late had less time to spend on the site .. and actually try to have totally internet free days now .. happens some weekends ..
The core of the topic is .. post .. start a new topic .. lots of little bits of activity make for a lot ..
Yes Sandy, I agree, very quiet indeed. Wish I had more to add, will do my best.
I promise, if I dont have anything worthwhile to add to the forum, I'll just discuss the weather... oh, by the way, it IS freezing cold here in Bonnievale today. Shot through to Robertson over lunch to get some readymix cement - need to finish second shower tonight - I changed the plumbing, so now the shower water can be recycled to water the trees, and not go into septic tank anymore... Since the bags was still on the bakkie, I just parked it under cover, and walked down to the practice. My hands and nose feels like it usually does when there's snow on the mountain???
Enough of the weather, hope we get some more interesting posts soon!
cheers
I read this site about every day. For those in SA and Namibia - you do in many ways stir memories of home for those who have left. I often read and think - I did the same thing... Bertie out in the bush brings some of the Overberg to me and my parents and brother have lived in Bredasdorp for many many years.
Water Recycling ... well done Bertie ... I installed many years ago a grey water system ,, bath water goes up to a holding tank and is then used to flush the toilet ... then next was a rainwater catchment system ... so far got about 1500 liters capacity .. Orchids are hand watered from this but its tedious .. the one cellar cleared to add more tanks // hoping for 10 000 liters .. this will then have a pressure pump fitted to do plant watering ...
@ John, thanx, I'm glad I can bring you some feeling of home...
@ Sandy - I think we should start a topic on water recycling, and get some more ideas from the forum. I have gathered from your previous posts that you did some changes to recycle, and was really impressed, I actually think your post prompted me to get my *** in gear and make plans here as well. I have a plan to use some of my water on the plot in a combination of things, will try and get some time to post something about it...
