Managed an almost 25km cycle today and the toes didn't complain too much. Thank goodness, as my home standby duty tomorrow became a flying duty. I think the forced rest has done me good. Having made my 1500 day 1 mile a day streak, I am at peace with the fact that I couldn't go for a walk the...

Last night I took the dressing off (I have my second toe buddy-strapped to my middle toe, as my big toe spasms if I use it) to inspect. Still all sorts of shades of purple and blue, and the swelling makes it look like a fat little sausage 🤣 I have minimal feeling in the tip of my toe, but a...

I can't, I already have the biggest size :( The swelling should be gone by Monday. I will find ultra thin socks.

It's day 3 of no walking. I haven't gone completely loopy from boredom and lack of exercise yet. Beer does wonders for the pain and throbbing. As long as I step carefully, I can walk with only a little pain. Tomorrow I will jump on the bicycle and see if applying pressure on the pedals...

Woolworths seems to at least be providing helmets and jackets for their delivery drivers. I saw two next to each other today with the same helmet.

@Mr Zog , my doctor Included an additional E: eat. I like her 🤣 @OomD something about constricting blood vessels to reduce blood flow, which reduces the swelling. Some swelling is good, but too much will cause pain.

Smug. 😐

It is rather sore. The swelling has gone a little, but with all the cushioning to splint it to another toe, wearing socks, never mind shoes, is difficult. I went there and back again to see how far it is 😁

Today marks the first time in 1507 days that I will not do a one mile walk. Not because I don't want to, but because I can't. My foot encountered a stone wall and came off second best. Normally I'd push through something like this, but as this impacts my ability to work, I will be spending...

In 2014, I photographed a pensive leopard in a tree. In 2024, I photographed a pensive ginger cat in a tree. 😁

MH370?

Where's that rant of the day thread? Oh well, I'll rant here. Banks suck. Especially ABSA. I have been with them since the day my parents opened an account for me (so maybe 25yrs +), and whenever I thought of moving, I wound up sticking with them because: - Their fees are low (R135pm for a...

The moon and a cloud factory.

It's not just the EC. On Monday I saw busses loaded with kids in two different areas. One decided to go from 100kmh to a dead stop on the N1. No lights, no indicators, no changing lanes. Nothing. I can't remember what the other one did, but I think he decided to jump a red light at a busy...

Or just don't overtake on blind corners/rises/dips. The solid lines are there for a reason. People are so impatient they can't wait 1 minute to pass safely, but will happily wipe themselves and others out. You save a minute but lose your life. Coming back from Sun City in the cage on Sunday...

I have goosebumps. This is so awesome! A memory your daughter will cherish forever!

Any dogs heading to the Swartkop airshow tomorrow?

The interrogations between transponders are constant. That's an excellent question. If 3 aircraft are on a collision course, ATC has seriously messed up! 😅 As for how it decides who does what, it depends on what the aircraft are doing, and it also factors in the performance of the specific...

Morning traffic jam at work yesterday. This is a TCAS display (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System), which shows the altitude and approximate position of other transponder-equipped aircraft. If they get closer, the diamond goes solid blue. If they get really close, it shouts...
