Would it make you feel better to know I'm actually off until Monday? :p :p :p

Not that lucky, but I sneaked off work with my wife to have a Shoprite snacks picnic at home

Sitting in the car waiting for my wife who is at work and she just called to say she will take another half an hour to come, this sucks. Already been sitting in the car for one hour.
 
Lol. It's quite harsh in the winter with recorded temp of up to -17*C

Can confirm that. Did my National Service in Ladysmith, not too far from Mooi River. Gets cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey

Not cool.

Had a couple teeth sorted and one tooth pulled.

Now when I vape, I can't taste anything as my face is still numb and I had to quickly learn to vape with numb lips

Hopefully you're taking wide, wide open direct-to-lung drags. Had a wisdom out in August & got taught all the horrors around what's called 'dry socket' by my butche... erm... surgeon. Substantial risk with smoking and, because it's caused by negative pressure, MTL vaping. Scared me off stinkies for 5 days which, thinking back, actually sparked the interest in vaping. :)

Haha yes, I'm a Dl Vaper so all good. Funny enough, this is a good dentist - I don't feel much pain after the numbness wore off.

Just feels like I got punched lol.

On another note, I caught a snake. Pics to follow

Red-lipped Herald?
 
More like an any colour NOPE
Hahahahahaha this is nothing compared to dealing with rhinkals and moz spitting cobras.

I still have the skin of a green spotted bush snake that used to visit me everyday. It shed it's skin and left it on my windowsill - about 5m long. Used to sit in my chair in the sun like a king lol

Back on topic.... Driving through the mielie and game farms in the mornings is becoming really beautiful with the mist creeping in.

Drove past 2 kids the other morning presumably waiting for school transport. With the sun staying lower in the mornings the cars are throwing nice long shadows, and these 2 were jumping over every shadow as it drove past. Was lolling all day.
 
I tried to place an order for a replacement batter door for my Cartel160 a few minutes ago on the cartel Mods Website (US) but had issues with paypall, I dont have an account and then something went wrong on the credit card payment side So I could not complete the order BUT I still got a notification from my bank that the money has been deducted!

I Sent a mail to them and am waiting (and hoping) for a reply. Worst case might be I just lost about R200
This is why I dont like to order outside of our borders, Well apart from BLCK, I dont even order online outside of my City or province :rofl:

Yeah I get the same issue with payfast - drives me nuts...

I buy a lot of stuff online and only do eft. One time I was forced to do a credit card and I don't even own one. I had to give my mom the cash and she paid with her card...
 
We spent the day out yesterday visiting various family members for HRH's birthday. Got home about 21h00. While I'm sitting at the desk getting some 'home at last' comfort vaping in, HRH goes into the kitchen to put the kettle on for some relaxing evening tea.

She hears a weird sound outside. Now we have a problem in this place with stray cats, so we've made a mixture of water and lavender essential oils to try and dissuade them from returning. When she opened the back door, one of the strays was right there mewling away, so out of habit she picked up the bottle and sprayed it a few times. The cat started dragging itself away.

Reread the previous sentence ... I said dragging because it's back legs weren't working at all.

Now I'm not the biggest fan of cats, and if this thing had been able to drag its ass out of my space I would have not given it another thought. But it couldn't. I went to try open the back gate (we have a long pot with lavender and rosemary covering it to try and stop these pests coming in) .moved the pot but couldn't open the gate because this cat was in the way. This is when I made my mistake, I scratched the cat behind the ear.

Golden rule with me and cats, once I've scratched it behind the ear, we are buddies for life. HRH brought out a box lined with towels and a spare towel for me to hoist it into the box to try and avoid causing more damage to what we assumed was a spinal injury. While I was doing the transfer she called the local SPCA emergency line. I carried kitty in through the kitchen while she was on the phone and I notice movement by its tail. Maggots! A writhing, bubbling mass of maggots.

I ended up scratching the cats head and sides in the lounge until the lady from the SPCA arrives, it kept nudging my hand where it want to be scratched. Such soft, clean fur that I just cannot believe it was an actual stray/feral but had no collar or tag.

SPCA lady arrives, impressively quickly - talk about dedication She snaps a few pictures, then tries to take a closer look. Uh-uh, too gruesome to describe further. The only thing she says is she's definitely going to have to put it down. This situation has been developing over a couple of days, at least.

How the cat got into our area is completely baffling as we have put stuff in place to make it difficult for them and at the very least they have to jump with great precision to make it. Lying just outside our back gate, in an otherwise spotless alley accessible by residents only (9 units) is a stompie. WTF? Not saying it is related, but in my general opinion people suck, so I'm not saying it's unrelated either.

Tl;dr
Tried to rescue cat, cat was host to many other lifeforms (100s/1000s maybe) good hearted animal people helped out and will make sure it is euthanized humanely. Me upset because "Lynx" and I bonded over some ear scratching.
