[Diary Notes continued]
In the end we talked most about the Kruger National
Park, our favourite place to hang out, large numbers
of elephants and aggressive large birds, Martin and
Hans recalled 10 km races in which they participated
After spending the previous night under the influence
of Bacchus or eating garlic so that other participants
stayed far away from them and Thea showed me her
beautiful sewing, making aprons and I ordered one for
Myself - and book marks, though wonderful to behold
I lose those all the time, not a great idea and then the
discussion focused on cooking and recipes, favourite
cookbooks - everyone exclaiming how great it was to
Read the cooks’ personal histories accompanying lists
of ingredients, I fell silent as nobody was interested in
Terry Pratchett and the Discworld, on to the plundering
last year, how men patrolled in Newcastle and how in
Pongola , 700 big trucks were saved in make-shift
overnight camps, how great it was when Taxi drivers
shot at the looters using big guns & real ammunition,
how security companies kept South Africa safe as the
Police actually participated in the looting and how the
Indian shopkeepers simply chased off the looters and
provided bread to the community, how South Africa was
saved by all races working together foiling the plans of
Political opportunists - I showed them my project book
with articles and photos delineating the success of the
rescue efforts afterwards: we all smiled enjoying each
other’s stories and company…
