Things that please you...

Christmas morning with the family before entering the Kruger for the day. Not as many amazing sightings as yesterday, but we did see a few smaller mammals like Steenbok. Plenty of birdlife, which is always special. One Hyena that strolled onto the road, flop down for maybe 15 seconds and then meander off into the bush. We were the only recipients of this experience.
 
Sent two packages, one by PUDO to edge of nowhere. It got there in around 24 hours. Blown away by the speed of this particularly as this is in the middle of the EC and far from any major towns. The other by THE COURIER GUY to Howick. It got there overnight and in time for Christmas. Did not expect this. So happy with their service especially at this time of year.

Deliveries have been spectacular in the last few weeks , seems companies have perfected their online ordering systems and courier companies have come to the party.

Only hearing praise from everyone.

COVID caused a lot of them to really jack up their online shopping game. I wonder if the likes of Makro are improved any, I'd like to order but not sure if they've improved since that partnership.

Actually someone mentioned just yesterday that Makro has jacked up their online side and it's now like Takealot, if it's showing as in stock it gets delivered asap. I also previously experiences their online side to be painfully slow.

What partnership did they enter into?
 
I managed to get this last pair, and it's a pretty good shoe. Went for a 60km ride with it yesterday and apart from being a bit on the heavy side I like it.

I get why it was on a clearance sale though. How many ladies do you know have such big feet and require a sneaker that can be used in industrial environments where steel toe caps are required?

Well this "lady" likes them ;)

Damn I would've gotten those

Exactly why I did - what a deal! I am actually size 10 and have no need for steel toe caps - but at least now I can venture into industrial/construction zones knowing I comply with footwear regulations while looking snazzy. Maybe some more shows up here.

I had steel tips when I did used to go on to some building sites, they can be uncomfortable, though those were in proper CATs.
 
Steel toe-cap shoes can look ok. I bought a leather pair in England and have used them often on building sites. A brick landed on the edge of once and bounced off. A major scratch but no damage to me

A shoe-repairer shop in Wynberg glued on a new cover. Worn with fairly thick socks they are comfortable but as soon as I get in the car they come off
 
I only went for them cause of the price and because I ride flat pedals on my bike. With those with domes on the front at size 11 they look like clown shoes if I am honest. But very comfy on the bike and my wife even remarked they do not look that weird so I might want to try and not ruin them out on the trails and wear them as a normal pair of sneakers. Thinking back of some instances where I had "contact" with rocks/trees and other hard objects out riding I think these will work nicely. But I do see the appeal of extra toe protection.

Her accent is a complete mishmash, what nationality is she in fact?

She is rather easy on the eyes, it's a pleasure seeing the driver POV camera angle :D

Well Swiss do speak German,Italian and French. There isn't a Swiss language, most Swiss sound German sort of, but watching the video she sounds like the Swiss I've dealt with :).

Today we spotted our first Secretary Bird and a Olive Grass Snake in the KNP. It was probably the highlight of the day which had lean pickings.
