Thanks Woody, the cheque is in the mail.. ;)

I know the feeling. Here is when the true meaning of the word Awesome is handy, because to be and is when there are no words. Sadly, we've taken the word and used it to describe a happy meal or our new pair of tekkies. Not that I take myself to be awesome, but the things that I see are too...

I rolled the Green Mamba out of the stable at about 14h15 to find it covered in dust and in need of a dusting off before I hit the road. I have been wanting to do this route for a while now, for a very peculiar reason. Now for the back story: As you may already know I play the guitar and once...

Very much so. Thanks :)

Eish.. You never know. Flying a drone is a different thing. Takes practice and I don't fly mine nearly enough.

I took a walk up to the upper paddock today, which overlooks our house and part of the town. It's a beautiful little spot to launch the drone. I still have to edit the video and upload it to YouTube so that will be a while, but here are some pics from the air and the ground. Our house just in...

Hier is Ons s'n. Ek weet nie onder watter omstandighede hulle die kruis gekoop het. Dit het 'n ruk gevat totdat ek die kruis by kon kom vir 'n foto met al die ander dinge waarmee ons besig is.

Yep. I'm still experimenting with the valve setting for optimum burn. Our problem is the wood we have has been stored in the basement for an unknown number of years. Some wood is extremely hard and burns super slow.

I hope not. South Africans enjoy a good reputation here as hard-working, loyal and honest. We are also known to be a bit more direct than the average European can stomach.. :LOL:

I thought I was done posting but I had to share this enjoyment with you. If ever you're in my part of the world, you're welcome to come sit at my table and enjoy a beverage of your choosing.

Die planeet staan op sy kop! By ons is dit Herfs, maar vandag en gister was dit om en by 20 graad! As dit more so is, klim ek op daai Kawa en vat die pad!

So, I went down into the basement to get this job done. It needs to be ready for the people on Monday. I commenced work on the pellet silo and Ed went off with Alain to "load wood", but I took this photo just after 16:00. That trailer of wood has been here since this morning (See my previous...

That's it. Sierck is on the French side of where the three borders meet: France, Germany, Luxembourg.

Candy has been wanting a fireplace in the living room. It doesn't need to be a roaring inferno because the central heating (when they finally connect it) will heat the house very well. No, she just wants "Ambiance". So yesterday we went shopping for "Ambiance". Seven Kilowatts of ambiance and...

Not that I'm aware of. Hunters are very active here and the season just kicked off. Last weekend there was gunfire in the forest all around us and many wild boar were taken plus several deer. One guy drove past our place with a trailer dripping wet blood and one each in there. Still fresh as...

I have had the sniffles and body aches all week. Finally on Wednesday night it got bad. After work on Thursday I went to the doc who tells me that COVID seems to be making a comeback, with a lot of her patients testing positive. She booked me off for Friday and told me to get tested and report...

I need to elaborate on my work/life situation. Our house in Bousseviller is about 160km from where I work in Luxembourg. Driving there and back each day would be V€ry €xp€nsive in fuel costs as well at time, so I rent a room from a gent that I know in the town we lived before. This is where I...

I'm keen to see that workbench coming together. I need to build at least two to populate my Barn. Maak gou, boetie!!

Mit Socken????

This makes me sad. Sad for your goats, and sad for you, but also thankful for all those who do what you do. I was listening to Jordan Peterson in a debate/conversation with Richard Dawkins addressing the topic of sacrifice and its role through the ages. Dawkins taking the position that it was...
