09:30- Day 12
Had a braai last night and a couple of gin and sprites - nice , gave my last 6 beers to the girls in the cottage , still have 2.5 bottles gin left over for myself and then there is still the red wine collection...
MY ''baby'' vaper is getting along quite well - showed him a few tips and tricks and filled up his tank , he can't wait to get his own gear , can relate .
Otherwise -all quiet on the north eastern front - Cases update from last night: 1686 confirmed cases and 12 deaths.

It's a great feeling when a new vaper takes to it so well. I also know a new vaper who is absolutely loving it, but she would like to try another flavour which she can't do at the moment due to lockdown.
 
Day 12,

I drove around town at lunchtime and I was shocked by the number of cars on the streets. There was more of a Sunday morning vibe than a “I am Legend” atmosphere :facepalm:

P.S in case someone didn’t watch the movie, it’s quite awesome!
 
Thought my town trips were done for the remainder of the Lockdown, but alas. Need plenty of sugar. Tomorrow's mission lemonade syrup and still deciding on on what to do with the Guavas. Maybe some fruit roll or can it to eat with some ice cream later :confundio1:

Well I've released one thing from this lock down, I don't like non icy juice anymore. Ran out of ws23 last week and none of my old recipes taste right.
 
Here's something to do if you're up with the birds on the 8th.

Largest super full moon of 2020 visible in SA
https://www.getaway.co.za/travel-news/largest-super-full-moon-of-2020-visible-in-sa/
7 April 2020

"The largest super full moon of 2020, also known as a pink moon in parts of the northern hemisphere, will be visible in South Africa on 8 April at 4:35 am.

When a full moon is on its closest approach to Earth, it is called a super full moon. When the Moon’s orbit is closest to Earth, it sits on the point of perigee. The best time to enjoy a super full moon, or any other full moon, is just after moonrise, when the Moon is close to the horizon. Just before moonset is also a good time..."
 
Day 13 : Up early again and got some cool pics.Thank you for the post above @Hooked

13:00 -Woke up for the second time today - still quiet , saw SAPS pulling a plumber's van over ,10 secs later they let him go .

It's all lies. The earth is flat. @MrGSmokeFree faked the photos (look at his other photos in the "picture paints a thousand words" thread. They are all smoke and mirror pics. He conspired with his friend @Hooked to trick us into believing that the earth is round.

The moon is always the same distance from the earth.

This is a huge problem...people not taking it seriously and we only have a few days left....the government wont be able to keep up with people still roaming about.
 
@MrGSmokeFree @Silver were you guys really outside so early watching the moon so waiting for that global satellite to scan your temps!? o_O

I went outside
Indeed.
At about 515am
Moon was amazing!

I saw the satellite temp monitoring system too!
It took my temp but it was ok at 36.4 degrees C
 
Good idea - print one out and play:risas3: courtesy EWN

It's so good to see we still have our funny side intact .

Believe it or not quite a few people actually do fall for it and believe the world is round, well fool them if they just keep going in a boat in one direction until they fall off the edge!:monoloco:

First batch of lemonade syrup is underway. Going to have very strong hand and forearm muscles after all this lemon squeezing :pesas:

So the earth is like a cool infinity pool? maybe thats where they got the idea from :-D so where does all the water that falls off the edge go?.... on the "Flat Earth" not on the infinity pool:THINKINGTROLL:

It does not fall over the edge, it curls around to the other side which is the world Game of Thrones was made in. Sure everybody knows that!
