Enoch Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 So, the 3.5-year-old hadn't really had serious candy in any quantity prior to this past week. He'd get a lollipop at the barbershop, and sometimes a bite of the fancier chocolate stuff that mom likes to keep in the house, but not any chocolate-based mass-market candy bars of the kind that folks often hand out to trick-or-treaters. Anyhow, I've always heard people allude to the effect that high quantities of sugar have on little kids, but I hadn't truly seen it until the past couple days. I was amazed at just how quickly he went from eating 3/4ths of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup to (uncharacteristically) sprinting from his room to the kitchen and back while yelling about how fast his racecar was. 5

Gfted1 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Hmm, I dont see any moat to keep out the lions. Very nice! I wonder how many years a "thatched" roof lasts? EDIT: Wait, 7.5M rand = $536,247.37 for an 861.11 square foot house! Holy moly, SA is like NY! The pricing must be based on the farm land? 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

You laugh but there are always some kind of wild animal near this type of remote house but not lions Thatch is common in SA, its durable and keeps out the elements ...it lasts about 15-20 years as its treated by a tar of sorts ...I had to research it below http://www.amazuluinc.com/2013/05/31/how-long-does-thatch-roof-last/ Edited November 2, 2017 by BruceVC 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Tale Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I just ordered my second fountain pen. Another Pilot Metro, but one of the Retro Pop styles and with a medium nib instead of fine. I also bought my first bottled ink so I'll be moving on from cartridges. Is it weird to be excited about a pen? I'll be writing in purple and deep lavender, aww yiss.

I have been looking at the photos and Im also convinced because its about taking a break away from the frenetic nature of my new job in the city, I haven't really taken much leave the whole year and Im taking 20 days over Xmas @ GB I mentioned this before to you, you must come visit SA. You pay for the flight and you can bring someone with if you want and we can stay at this house if we buy it. So the accommodation is free in SA, I like to encourage people to come to SA and if I cant utilize family assets for visitors then it would seem sad...but my family are very cool and I just need to confirm what weekend...come to SA for 7 days I say? But we have other places like the beach cottage but this place is ideal for you I agree "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

You right, its very small...I copied these statistics One bedroom with high ceiling • One bathroom • Open-plan kitchen, dining and living area • Gas geyser and cooker • Solar power But I see they say you can build additional buildings Oh Shady the same invite I told GD about to come visit SA you can also come to visit to SA and bring the wife if you want, in fact I extend the offer to most other members who I know....I just need to know who As I said I am proud of SA and if I can incentivize you guys to come visit that works for me "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

BruceVC Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Seriously though, that place looks rather picturesque. Well same offer applies to you and Hurlshot, you would basically pay for the flight and some spending money Transport and accommodation is free ?

Blarghagh Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I hate fountain pens. Possibly because I'm a lefty.

BruceVC Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 My Dad flew to Cape Town last night for a conference around plants, he is retired now and is committed to conservation , and he met the estate agent who is trying to sell that cottage ...he asked some interesting questions. See the responses below Would we be able to make alterations to the cottage or is it under a heritage programme? No heritage programme, the cottage can be changed as you like it. You could also build another dwelling on the property without departure. What other conditions are there relating to land usage or protection? It is zoned as agriculture so you would fall under the these zoning restrictions. It is outside of the nature reserve regulations so no restrictions from that side. Of course, if you wonder over the boundary into the reserve then the reserve usage regulations would apply. The seller has put a restriction on building on the southern slope of the koppie (it overlooks his other property over the river) Does it have an electricity supply? No, it has solar panels for minimal power needs. What are the conditions of purchase? Are you the selling agents for the property? Aside from the above there are no other conditions. Yes we are the agents for the property. 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
