Hi all!
Spring is supposed to be on 21 September, and summer on 21 December. right? Well it seems lady spring and lady summer are at odds with one another. Temperatures run in the high thirties every day and not a cloud to be seen. My air-con is working overtime. The poor cats don’t know where to go hide away. Outside the strays has disappeared during the day and inside the two are jostling for a space near the air-con.
Oh, I don’t know if I told you guys, but a new baby has taken up residence with us. Now six months old and a real terror. But the female cat, and he, has sorted out the pecking order and all is fine. You can say he is a rescue, as he was part of the stray family. Then he hurt his right eye in either a fight or bashed it against something hard.
The vet said: Two options. One: Put him down. Second Option: remove the eye as it can’t be saved. Well, you guys don’t know me. How can a little life of just five months, at that the time, just be terminated. About 5K later, he took up residence inside with us, and my red head wife now has a one-eye-pirate boy that just loves her. (Seems like I have competition…)
Well, here is chapter 11 of “To Cheat the Devil,” and there’s much happening with the new redhead secret agent trying to run the ship and came up short against Darya and Roxy. I say no more.
Enjoy!
Until next time.
Keep well, and stay safe!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
I do hope you are good and well, and healthy.
So far so good! All seems well on this side of the pond, despite what everyone else thinks. The days are heating up and now it runs around 35 Celsius. Clear skies and no wind.
With life keeping me busy, the writing goes a little slow, and I am only halfway with chapter 11. But, in the meantime, don’t let me keep you waiting, as there is much happening now. Here is chapter 10.
Enjoy!
Until next time.
Keep well!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
It might be an advantage to stay near an airport or even a toll-gate, as for the past couple of weeks, we did not experience any power outages during the load shedding by Eskom. Yes, I have power, BUT the Cell Towers are getting power cuts. No battery backup, because the batteries has been stolen! Grrrrrrr! (And they call South Africa a first world country!)
So at least I can drink coffee, make something to get the old tummy quiet, cut the lawn, play a game on the PC, and write. BUT no internet to communicate with the world out there.
Oh, well, At least I have power! The internet can wait a bit. So sorry if I’m late in answering your mail.
AND, you are catching up with me! Here is Chapter 9, and Chapter 10 ain’t off to the editors yet. Oh, Boy!!
I do hope you are good and well, and healthy.
Until next time.
Keep well!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
Herewith chapter 8 of “To Cheat the Devil.” Poor Roxy! Ag shame... But read for yourself. It seems like she can’t win.
Working on 2 chapters at the same time is getting me down. I have to keep reminding myself with what chapter I am busy with. Getting pictures ready for the chapter coming back from the editors, posting it, and writing on the next chapter, only to find stuff that will be good for the next, next, chapter. I wonder what those guys and girls who do this for a living feel?
Anyway, this does keep me out of trouble. (LOL) AND, it is fun! I hope you like it too!
Until next time.
Keep well and stay healthy!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
Herewith chapter 7 of “To Cheat the Devil.” Things are moving a bit on the action side of the story. I do hope you enjoy it.
With all this load shedding going on, I am now loosing 6 hours of internet per day! That just leaves me a small window to upload. So, don’t despair, stay with me.
Thanks for all your e-mails. It is appreciated. I just hope I answered them all and did not leave someone out! Please forgive me if I did.
Until next time.
Keep well and stay healthy!
Bye 4 now!
