Things that please you...

I am trying to "be grateful each day" by contributing to this thread with what pleases me, but I am feeling cynical and annoyed today and not coming up with something that pleases me. I try and not just post general things and try to be sincere with what pleases me on that day.

Thanks for listening. Kbye.

I get that. But even just looking at the sky in the morning, when the sun rises and the patterns the clouds make - sometimes makes me happy. Watching birds play in the water puddles on the side of the road. It doesn't have to be a big thing.

Yesterday for me started of crappy. Got to Grayston offramp at 8. Got into Sandton at almost 9:10. Then the convention parking was full and I had to park in Sandton City. I missed the first session I was booked for. But the rest of the day was awesome ! So great recovery. But my feet ache badly lol - so today is going to be interesting.

You just reminded me that my wife finished the last of 2 bottles of wine she really enjoyed earlier this week.

Ordered a box of 6 now - will make it her Wellingtons Day (Valentine's Day) gift.

I can't drink wine. It doesn't agree with me at all. But if you replace grapes with hops and barley, I'm there like a bear/beer!

Myself and my girlfriends father had a strange encounter on Saturday morning...

We went for a ride up the Braamfontein Spruit from Craighall/Parkhurst, upt to the top of Alberts Farm and then up to Northcliff Hill. We took a break on the top of Northcliff Hill to have a drink, catch our breath and find/repair a persistent leak in my rear tyre. A mother and daughter asked us if we wouldn't mind taking a photo of them with the view of Jhb as it was a lovely clear morning. Photo's had taken and we were getting ready to head off again when two men and a women approached us, one of the men was filming on an iPhone and had a Canon 7D which I presume he was taking photo's with, the other man asked each of us to give him a word and he would do a little rap. We each throw out a word or a few words, he does his piece which was impressive as I can't think quick on my feet to come up with a word or two, never mind put them in a poem like fashion with rhyming lines. We start packing up to head off and the one man has a few words with my girlfriends father before approaching me, where he proceeds to tell me that he doesn't care about the colour of my skin, he loves me and I shouldn't pay attention to social media as the country needs white people. He said a few other things which I didn't fully agree with, like black people are lazy, but it was refreshing to hear his point of view as opposed to the almost daily rhetoric of how terrible white males are.
 
As much as I moan about City Power normally, the fact that they are actually mitigating Load shedding for a change is impressive. But I guess the repair costs outweighed the paying of an IPP.

There's politics at play here, sadly. While the DA ran joburg, Eskom would not allow them to mitigate load shedding with Kelvin. Now that the ANC are in charge again, it's allowed.
