Malcador Posted November 2, 2017 Share 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. My collection of 120 says no. I should get a Kaweco pen again Why has elegance found so little following?

BruceVC Posted November 3, 2017 Share 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.

Guard Dog Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) This morning I picked the last of the vegetables in the garden. All the was left was a row of acorn squash and a row of turnips. Next week I'll turn the soil and let it sit until spring. Or maybe next spring. That is a hell of a lot of work! But I'm making acorn squash soup in the crock pot. Now it's iced tea and college football all day.

Gfted1 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Do you use manure? And if so, when do you add it to the soil, when you plant the seeds or when you turn the soil? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Do you use manure? And if so, when do you add it to the soil, when you plant the seeds or when you turn the soil? When it's sitting I actually use a mix of alfalfa pellets and cottonseed meal. It's pretty cheap and effective. But you have to keep turning it or alfalfa shoots start growing. They will deliver it to me so it's easy to get and spread. Manure compost is less expensive but the only place to get it from would be Millington or Dyersburg and they won't deliver to my area. And I am NOT putting that s--t in the back of my truck! About a month before I plant I'll start doing once a week treatments with a store bought product called Crystal Green. Once the seeds go in is should be good for the duration. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
