Well, between the "load shedding" and the rain… AND a 1.3 metre Egyptian Cobra in my garden! Phew! I eventually got chapter 3 done.
Someone asked: "What is Load Shedding?" Well, another term is what the Californians call "running brownouts." Here in SA, it's when the power guys (Eskom) don't buy coal, or diesel or uranium, or whatever it takes to turn the generators. They blame "equipment failure." Yeah, right! I call it "incompetence." (Maybe I should get Oyster50 to come give them some pointers.)
Okay, that means that for part of the day or twice a day WE DON'T HAVE ELECTRIC!
Those of you that want to see what the cobra looked like, head over to my external blog. I'll post a picture there. We didn't kill it. Caught it and released it, FAR, FAR away in a game reserve. BUT not near me!
BTW - I don't seem to get comments about my grammar these days. Either you got used to my style, or the new Editor is doing his job well. Saying that, I come to notice that there is also a difference between the two editors. One (very good) does a good job in getting the flow of the story going. But sometimes I see things that he's changed, slip by the other guy, and vice versa. So, if you still spot something, let me know. I appreciate the mails.
Stray Cats chapter 3 will be up later today. Enjoy. Maybe a surprise towards the end... No Spoilers.
Bye 4 now...
