Love For Blankets, People, and Lesotho - Book 1

 

An eBook: Love for Blankets, People, and Lesotho

This is an exciting moment for me because I have worked on my book for a long time and can finally make it available to the public. There was one slight obstacle, but I worked out a solution to that requirement. Patreon allows file sizes up the 5MB. 

My book is too large with too many beautiful photographs in it and at that size it just did not work. The resolution of 72 pixels made the photos a bit too fuzzy, and it spoiled everything. Even splitting the book in half was not helping. That is why I broke the book down into three sections, which enabled me to choose the right resolution for the photographs. 

I numbered the books one, two, and three. This book is mainly about waking up in Bela-Bela in the rural part of Lesotho. It quickly progresses to the Basotho Heritage blankets, a section with blankets from the first years to what is currently available today. I took the photographs at the Sanlam Art Collection in Sandton.

Here you can see the impressive blanket displays that they had on the exhibition. I am in the photograph, standing next to a life-size blanket in all its glory. There were many more like that. Mr. Stefan Hundt (curator) and Mr. Thomas Kritzinger, a renowned Basotho blanket expert, put together this collection.

The next section in the book is about how I ended up working at Frasers. But more about that in a future post. You can now buy a copy of the first book and follow along as the next two books get uploaded. They will be available for purchase soon. Here is the link to buy Book1.

Cherry Picker For Safe Access To Heights

Image
Cherry pickers are ideal for routine inspections, cleaning or maintenance tasks, working at heights. They are generally used in the construction, mining, metals smelting, and mineral processing industries to name but a few. The safety of workers is of prime importance with falls from heights and falling objects being the leading cause of fatal injuries on worksites in many parts of the world; safety has to centre stage in all working at working at heights tasks, followed by efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Cherry pickers are rapidly replacing traditional access systems such as ladders, scaffolding, bosun’s chairs, and rope swings, which are time-consuming, expensive and often dangerous to use. Recently The Dickinson Group of Companies announced the establishment of its latest joint venture with SA Platforms (Pty) Ltd.

Around The World In 80 Days

  When I created this card, I thought it would be interesting to see how many people from different countries would read this blog and look at the photograph. In 25 days, 78 people were reached. In 13 days, this blog post has been read by 63 visitors from different countries, quite an achievement for a little blog. My target was to attract at least 80 views from different countries all over the world in 80 days. After one month 119 visitors have read this blog post and it has travelled all around the world. This blog is not one of those super blogs where influencers promote  I know that wass expecting much but it would be fun to discover what happened after a while. Would visitors send a link to a friend in another country, or would all of this be left to chance? The movie was interesting to watch because the characters encountered many obstacles, dangers, and losses along the way. They left London for the Suez Canal. From there to Bombay in India. Then to Calcutta and on to V...
