I understand that every woman THINKS that her moisturiser etc. is an essential product, but seriously??? Restaurants are not allowed to deliver meals but Annique is allowed to deliver beauty products??

There was a notice sent out at some stage, just can't find it now, that even if a company got a trade permit it doesn't mean they can sell anything thats non-essential. These companies obviously got the permit for selling hygiene products and pushing the rules by selling all sorts of things. They could get into big trouble.
 
Good morning ya 'all DAY 22 - 06:30 ish
It is real quiet , heard a patrol or 2 going by last night ,went to bed earlier [12:00] but still tossing and turning - fell asleep eventually and up early as the dogs demanded food, now every one is sleeping and my sandman went to bed. My friend @Resistance hooked me up with an alternative streaming service and I intend to fully explore it today , thanks mate !.
After cleaning out my shelves , I found some ''lost'' Riot Squad juices from VC19
Got about 3 full bottles left , so I'm ok for time being but want to start DIY-ing again , everything is packed in boxes , so , ja - just need to get going.
Will keep you posted . Stay safe .
 
Who would have thought that the world would have gone mad in our lifetime. Grandparents and parents saw world wars, we see data wars, mass manipulation and viruses that have been predicted to end the world for as long as radio and television has been around. Many scientists have said that if the Earth does not get a reset, then the planet is doomed anyway. I am starting to think that humans and consumerism is the planets virus. Was it Stephan Hawking who said that the only way humans will survive is to get off planet and into space. Maybe he was onto something there. Mind you when the yanks went to the Moon the black box they found did warn them not to go into space yet or we would all be exterminated.

Are X boxes and PS really teaching our children how to live in space, I must admit that my space ship flying skills and my reactions to throwing a plasma grenade have seriously improved since Halo 3.
Are the next generation being groomed for space, they spend all their time either in the gym or on the their communicators, they have children only when their bodies and minds are fully developed, with the exception of the oopsies. In my day we had kids in our 20's, now we have them much later and I am starting to see the signs and demand for genetic manipulation. Possible the first one's will come out with hair like Dolly the sheep.

Any way I am just rambling because this morning I have nothing better to do than ponder what life will be like after Covid 19. My hope is that just like the 2 world wars, even though they were evil, they did have massive strides in tech and although we have not managed world peace just yet, it may come along if we have a common enemy that makes us pull together regardless of color or creed. Now that would be a thing to see.

In the mean time great strides have been made in South Africa whereby a great many people dependent on alcohol and tobacco have been weened off the product. Of course alternatives have been circulating, every cannabis plant has been stripped and I saw a recipe for Sorghum beer that you can make from essentials. Although I am not at this stage just yet, perhaps this post is the warning sign that I am close to doing something out of the ordinary.

I have been following the threads and there seems to be something special about zoo biscuits, what do people know that I do not and why are they on the list of essentials. I shall ponder this before I post again.

Have a great day.
 
''Is Covid- 19 a patented virus and does that mean it's manmade'' ?
If we believed everything on Facebook , chaos would have ruled for sure :hum:

Well, I can't walk around my beautiful suburb but I can around my garden! Clocked up 4km's today! Baby Choo walked as well (and was carried a lot) and she quite enjoyed it!

The Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with escalating costs and declining revenue have claimed the iconic Carousel Casino and Naledi Casino, both of whom have permanently been closed, and will not reopen after the national lockdown.

Sun International confirmed that both the Naledi Casino, situated in Thaba Nchu in the Free State and the Carousel Casino in the North West, have run at a loss for several years.

In a statement, the hospitality company addressed inevitable looming job losses, saying they have 'started the process of engaging gaming boards, relevant unions and employees'.

It’s going to take years for the economy to recover from this pandemic... I’m afraid there was a pre pandemic and there will be a post pandemic and the World won’t look the same. What legacy we’re leaving our children :facepalm:
 
Joanne Clarke, director of consumer relations at Anchor Yeast, said their retail partners have battled to service the significant increase in demand.
“We are working with them to make sure that we fill the shelves and make yeast available to our valuable shoppers and consumers. One retail buyer shared that he sold three weeks’ stock ... in one day,” said Clark.

Wonder who is doing all the ''BAKING'':)
