Things that please you...

Tracking a Takealot order. I have only ever ordered once online before and forgot how much the anticipation pleases me.

It still has a long ways to go to get all the way up here to Moz but I enjoy seeing its progress.
 
Seeing a bowler get whacked for two 4's in a row and then clean bowl the batsman with the next ball.

He bowled the fastest ball in IPL history in that over.

This pleased me! Now just to get it across the border and all the way up to me. Will be a couple of weeks still. Difficult to find people I know that are coming across the border at the moment but a friend from Nelspruit is driving up soon! Woohoo!

2.6 Nortje to Buttler, OUT
Bowled'im. Nortje has his own back. This is all fast and furious at 155.4ks. Nortje sticks to his (speed) guns, and keeps attacking the stumps with fast bowling. This time Buttler tries the more orthodox shot down the ground, and is beaten by the seam movement to lose his middle stump. Don't hear a pundit criticising him for playing orthodox shot when the unorthodox ones were bringing him the results. That is how they sound when they criticise innovation
JC Buttler b Nortje 22 (9b 3x4 1x6) SR: 244.44
Fine leg goes back

2.5 Nortje to Buttler, FOUR runs
And he has done it again. Backs away, then shuffles across, this is bowled at 156ks, but he takes it from outside off and ramps him fine of short fine

2.4 Nortje to Buttler, FOUR runs
Welcome to the Buttler clinic on T20 batting. After a six first ball, he shuffles all over the crease before getting inside the line of a full ball and ramps him up and over short fine

2.3 Nortje to Stokes, 1 run
Backs away, Nortje is quick, 152.1ks, and Stokes is hitting point when looking to go over cover. Just the single

2.2 Nortje to Buttler, 1 run
Full and straight, 152.3ks. late inswing defeats his shot. Just the leg-bye

2.1 Nortje to Buttler, SIX runs
Oh what a welcome. Length ball, 148ks, no room, but he has casually and dreamily lofted him over long-on. What an exhibition these two guys are putting on
DC have foten bowled spin in the third over. Last time between these two sides, Ashwin bowled and got Buttler out. But Iyer goes for pace tonight. Nortje it is

lol have you ever crossed the border into Moz? We use "a guy". We were checked the second time we crossed and the equivalent of R250 teleported into the official's pocket and we were good to go. The entire boot was full of crap still in the packaging it was purchased in. Price stickers and all.

Can't you spec to have a R20 note put it the package, then it'll pass flying colours.

I told my friend just to take the stuff out of the packaging but she said not to worry, they use the same guy as we do.

EDIT: If for some reason, our "guy" isn't available, we always have our backup guy.

This dude works perfectly (~R250)

Desktop and standing desk survived latest move.

Finally got my standing desk & screen set up at new place. Don't think I would have survived more months on a 12.5" tablet thing all day long

edit: and figured out why my wifi 6 wasn't working :D
