FLOGGING A DEAD HORSE......
(begun Saturday 26th July at 5.15am....)
As I opened the front verandah door at 3.30am, traces of a bushdweller's campfire lingered, as smoke swirled up past the outside spotlight...
At 3.45am Spotty's companion cried out, and then Khaled swept his HardyBoyz light down the gumtrees.... The South wind found us, tucked against the hill, at 4.00am....*boom!*
Freddie the Accountant wasn't participating this morning, but the GateKeeper here was doing his bit for the cause...
How the huge lights on the Convent Power House are able to go from the deepest, intense orange to a brilliant white, is beyond me...*shrugs...
The current threads on myadsl, on cellphone emissions, leave me cold.. I rarely use them to chat, and don't see the toddlers over at St. Theresa's abusing them either...*snorts..
The GateKeeper must have been lurking in the dormitory after 5.00am and spied me unlocking the top gates... As I watched, a big orange light came on and stayed on, behind the smart-finished windows.... Did a little one cry out at that moment? *curious...
Do you shrug, and say it's now clear there is dirty work afoot at the crossroads here in the Zone? But how could this affect your comfortable life? The country is rife with corruption, so what's the point?
How silent are the usually articulate on mybroadband.... How carefully is the so-obvious avoided...
Instead, a stream of never-ending, same-old, posts are published ad infinitum....
Have all the old posters already signed on the dotted line? Inertia? skydog? Karnaugh? *looks at the mods.... All of you bought it? *keels over laughing.... Judging from the 'coming out' of vodacom3g and his amazing self-assurance I have to guess that's a yes?
The Beast's teams of spin-doctors working night and day to create a tale that even the brightest among you would swallow...*roffels...
Do you still seriously believe that I am the sole recipient of this invasive monitoring? Do you not smell a rat ffs? *grins... How you have aided the Beast so helpfully in linking the signal throughout Your neighbourhood...?
Do you too, dutifully attend Wireless update classes at your local Station? Not yet? This particular option is restricted to the Zone?
Who is the Controller in your street? *If you have not been shown how to audio monitor YOUR neighbour, then it ain't you....* keels over....
It is the audio-monitoring option that has the PTB slavering with near orgasmic delight... that, and the ability to single out individual residences for 'special' attention....*beams... Just wait......
Later (bedtime..)
The Airwing chopper spent hours this morning, circling over the Buro Crescent light industrial area in Mayville.... I'll bet there is water running freely everywhere *cackles...
I myself ran the sprinkler for a good few hours on the parched garden, but it appears it was just not enough...*gags.... When I ran the bath after 8.00pm the water pressure was almost non-existent (sp)....*heaves....
Somewhere nearby there is a huge ongoing runoff... My bet would be Newton the Protege...*gags..
So - Kasim from No. 2 phoned me this afternoon. He said there were people setting up a shack in the valley below his house. He had phoned the SAPS but nobody had pitched up...tsk tsk..... He was going out, and couldn't wait, and would I call the Station? er, nope.... *smiles...
I called him back with der Kommissar's cell number and was told that Kasim already had that, and had tried it with no success.... der Kommissar was not picking up....*winks...
So, I text my Vice-Chair, and within 10 minutes the SAPS are on the scene....*laughing...
You see Kasim, (and you Khaled lurking in the shadows...), it's not always who you know is it? *beams...
Turns out the 'would-be squatters' were merely helping themselves to sand from the 6 or 7 huge bags stored down there in the valley....*startled... they were not attempting to erect a shack at all...*grins...
I already blogged of the busyness down there? The new manholes, and the cables, and the Muni Water trucks, and the bakkie with 'IRRIGATION' on it's side? And now we have big bags of sand? *roffels...
Kasim - You ARE the weakest link! I have said repeatedly that even the Blessed are regarded with contempt by those in charge of the Project and you would do well to remember that...*shrugs...
Of course I shan't leave it alone now...it's just way too tempting...*grins and looks at Dilshaad ....
Mistakes that need fixing: I took a ride along Summit Drive to check on the Architect's office block construction. Whichever way I turned I could only find two, not the three blocks I've been jabbering on about....*mutters dementedly.... More hallucinations then....
No matter, whichever way you look at it, it's beeeg bucks....*beams at Iqbal Naroth the Architect, hopefully....
Mistake number two was in wrongly thinking that Dilshaad's significant other was a Mohamed... Now where on earth did I get that idea from? *smiles at Dilshaad again....
In fact, if you don't mind, I shall call him Khaled from now on....*laughing.... gnite...
Sunday 27th July at 4.45am.....
The Master had a couple of his chommies round last night, and out came the karaoke machine...*cackles..
I have to admit it makes me smile as soon as I hear it... One of the dudes is rather good too... *calls Columbia.....
Remarkably, Missus Courageous was home as well, so no sweating on my part for a change...*mops brow....
The more mistakes he makes, the more this truculent, spoiled brat relies on his Sweeper to eradicate the poo....*laughing...
When summer arrives will there be gatherings out on the front deck, while this beauty is directed their way? Or these two dazzlers? *interested...
I recall the all-nighters, where Bali and his Merry Brood would sit OUT FRONT and regale the neighbourhood till three or four in the morning...*grins... No cheating now!
Those bigguns mentioned above, should be at their deepest orange hue, and the front deck is to be uitilised, for it to be a fair trial.... *lawls... (a term so many of you are unfamiliar with....)
Later:
Freddie and the GateKeeper are indulging in a lie-in...More than made up for by this wondrous sight.... It must be the one on the little house which stands next to the opening on to the playing field ...Grindrod? *goes off to check....
The activity at the Senior Boys Hostel has moved lately, to a couple of upstairs windows nearer the valley. Both are lit beautifully from top to bottom...
I climbed off the orbitrek machine and sat down quietly for a minute, in time to hear the Master crank up his connection to our TV Jackpoint....*grins..
Sister Stephen was sent away again this weekend... *sniffs the air.... More work being hastily done in her absence? Fosho there is...*heaves...
Later:
My blog 'Life is a Cabaret' refers..... begun on Thursday 24th July at 3.20am, I suggested that the Selebi/Telkom Project were now causing chaos down in Isipingo did I not? *falls over laughing....
It's now Sunday at 11.00am and I've only just gotten round to reading last Friday's Natal Mercury...*cackles.... And there it is - the proof in the Pudding! Front page news - Durban Power Cut Kills Fish.....*grins...
The sucker charged with sabotaging the pylon will be a free man before you can say socket hunter...*winks... Even if the Mthiyane boys didn't actually dirty their own hands on this occasion, they will have 'advised' some suckers to do it....Allow me to add that the pylon and resulting powercut had little if anything to do with the fish dying... When someone noticed the fish were in trouble, panic ensued and Plan B was put into action. By now the Muni must be aware of the possibility and even likelihood of this happening....*gags.... Hence the FARCE with the pylon....

The fish are dying as the ancient toxic build-up coating the inside of the water pipes is knocked off by the cables bing pushed through them....NO OTHER REASON FFS!!!
The same as they died in the harbour, and I guess at Botanic Gardens too...*projectile vomits.... And you still support and applaud this Scheme? Pfft.....
The Master's obsession doesn't lessen at all.... several noisy cracks to the TV at midday denote his ongoing attentions, despite a family visit underway....*gags...
With his deliberate bullying disregard for privacy, shown in creating his front deck to face directly into both Basil's and our properties, a most enjoyable opportunity is now available....*chokes...
I've set up the tripod and captured the visitors eating lunch... Alas, not quite swift enough to net the Chicken King himself as he scuttled swiftly for cover...*falls over.... Next time..?
The SE on the garage wall has been left activated all day. Does it lose some of it's powers without the inside light's support? *winks..
As Little Willy's visitors never seem to stay very long these days, I doubt having the outside wall light on makes any difference at all...*grins...
Freddie's system stayed dark again this morning.. Little Jade has earache? Nothing as dramatic? *interested....
I see Koeberg is again trotting out the lame excuses and lies for the resumption of the blackouts I predicted would return, all along...*snorts...
I suggest you keep a list of dates and lengths of outtages when they do occur, and you will be able to judge whether your neighbourhood is receiving 'special' treatment....*smiles...
Peace julle...
