Fun letter to begin with... Plenty out there with this letter.
Taking his temperature twice daily, so far clear... 2nd day on first round checking, was so busy chatting and flicking my 40 year old thermometer (mercury) it popped it's head off.
Did you know you cannot buy mercury thermometers, doctors are no longer allowed to use them because of the mercury (absolute BS). NOW... You can buy a made in China one that are battery driven and only last X number of reads for R100 (the absolute cheapest in town!).
Country is going from the sublime to the ridiculous, hanging onto sanity and not losing it is taking the ultimate in control!
I will never use a Chinese one Lady Joan, even if I must save up to import one from Germany. In that way I am a nut, as most of my tools are either German or UK manufactured.
Just glad that he is showing no signs and hope that he will be cleared, else he might cost you a fortune in thermometers lol.
Did you read the dailymaverick report about the 9 billion rand that was stolen from prasa for the locomotive machines?
Bought from a Chinese company and the Guptas were the middlemen.
Do you know how many people we can train and feed with even 1 billion rand.
So sickening.
I stick to looking for local first before buying imported, however sometimes you buy German, UK or USA brand name and under the hood it is still made in China.... Always look under the hood 🤣
As for my son... confusion reigns (always), phone call late yesterday afternoon to see in-house company doctor today, apparently 12 of the 14 days quarantine is over since it was from first visit. Plus the doctor who was positive is now negative with virus... Eish
So much has been pillaged in this country if you leave your mouth open too long your teeth will be gone too...
Take a deep breath and carry on!
Oh my, what a story!
First the doctor was positive and now negative. And your son is still negative. So what was the quarantine worth for?
I always look under the hood before I buy my friend. Us Saffers have learned many tricks in the art of survival. German spanners and tools are guaranteed to last for a lifetime and I can only afford second hand tools.
Chinese tools are hardly ever at a used tool sale, as they don't last that long.
So true about the pillaging part.
Blessings!
