Swimming Pool Nets

  Swimming Pool Nets - Saving Lives How fortunate I am to play a small part in encouraging swimming pool owners to ensure that their pools are safe. I count myself lucky to be involved with a company like SA Pool Nets and Covers that manufactures and installs swimming pool safety nets. Because of them hundreds of drownings are prevented every year. The owner, Louis, approached me in December 2012 to create a website for his company. Seven years of creating awareness regarding swimming pool safety. That's how I see it. The photo at the top of the page came to my inbox from Google telling me that more than 20 000 people have viewed the image since it has been put up on the Internet.  It's not the most glamorous picture but you can bet that it brought a profound message to the visitors viewing it. That picture and the others on the website together with the review I wrote for Louis' company have prompted many visitors to have swimming pool nets and covers installed in their po

Cherry Picker - Good Deed

Image
A post from October 2018 about my favourite client just came to mind this afternoon. The post that I wrote about what they did for their community attracted a lot of readers and must have created a lot of goodwill for that cherry picker company. During this time of COVID-19 lock-down it’s important that we remember such generous acts from people who care about others. SA Platforms, a fantastic client of mine, sponsored a cherry picker to assist with a power outage problem in the  Risiville/Three Rivers East & Property Community . They are people with big hearts and I'm proud to be associated with them. I have promoted their  services  before and this proves that SA Platforms is a community-conscious company that can be trusted to deliver valuable services at all times. Below is a copy of a message thanking them for their assistance. A HUGE BIG Thanks to  https://www.facebook.com/SAPlatforms / for sponsoring the cherry picker for BXC to use in our Ward ....

Morning Walks-2

Image
On Sunday morning we went for a longer walk - about 3.5 kilometres. The app on my phone didn't co-operate so we walked without measuring anything. The photo-collage above shows that a number of people in our neighbourhood are getting out and walking, running, and cycling. Then you see two guys pushing lawnmowers on their way to work.  The weather is very mild and pleasant here at the moment. This is probably the best time of the year since temperatures are ideal. With fewer cars pouring gases into the atmosphere the air is much cleaner. It's like starting over.  Here we are thinking the way we always thought about things, but in the meantime we are at the starting blocks again with new sets of rules to cope with. We are faced with running a race into a future of unknowns according to rules we are unfamiliar with. I have built a good business with a fantastic bunch of people and everything looked like it was growing in the right direction. Due to recent even

Morning Walks

This doesn't look like a morning walk. That's because Maggie wanted to finish the masks for our son, Michael, and his family in Pietermaritzburg. I also asked her to make some for another family. Then, it was time for my special coffee that I make by boiling the milk in the microwave. Then I use a special attachment to whisk up the milk to foam. This is poured onto the top of the coffee once it's done. The result is a creamy cup of the finest coffee and a delightful drink. We usually have one of those in the mornings. Yesterday we prepared a piece of ground in the corner of our yard to plant carrots and beans. Of course our dog had to go and walk all over our garden patch. No ears! We haven't given up walking. Just took a break for some important things. Thanks for reading.

Morning Walk in the Mist

Image
Because it's still very dark at 6 am this time of the year I thought it safer to start a little bit later on our walk. The photograph above was taken at about 7 am when we were returning. It just shows you how misty it was. On top of that Maggie couldn't see very well through her glasses because of the steam rising up when she exhaled into her face mask. Those face masks are a real irritation, but we are forced to wear them in public. Another problem during the walk was you could only see a few feet ahead of yourself because the mist was so heavy. We only walked for about 2.5 kilometres and chatted most of the time to keep ourselves occupied. It was also not a right time to photograph any passers-by because there was hardly anyone else crazy enough to be exercising during the misty morning. Anyway, we did go out in spite of the circumstances. Thank you for reading.
