Settling in ...

Well it has truly been a wild few months. But i am delighted to say that i am starting to settle down, eventually. Why the change, you may ask, well i built an extension on to the house and have adopted it as my own. I have spread my 'office' between two rooms and added a couch, book cases and the trappings of segements of memorabelia from my life till so far.

It is strange what i have collected and what i cherish, for example there is the collection of broken watches, the Cavalry sword handed to my Grandfather when he was in the military in India. There is a collection of baseball caps, a scattering of my own framed pictures. The American flag drapped over the book case, propped up by a Golden Goose golf putter, with direct connections to the legendary Gary Player. A rocking chair on a Persian carpet and the chair i am sitting on was manufactured or in those days Crafted in the late 1800's prior to the South African Boer versus British war.

There is a glass bowl of marbles, next to a Oil lamp, that still gets used when there are power shedding outages. I simply love the "Old world" character and enjoy it more so than modern day wizardry.

But the message is i am settling in and will definately contribute to the blog more often. I desperately want to continue writting and exploring this world we are in and i can assure you will take up that task as soon as the stars are all aligned ...lol... till then take care and C U soon
