Granny waffles on.
Hello All. I was all set to blog yesterday.There was no loadshedding due.And, then the lights went out.And, came back on.And, went off.Then they stayed off for a few hours.Some substation tripped.So, I lay on my bed.Read a bit.And napped. I have a new resident.A Daddy Longleg spider.Apparently, harmless.A couple of days ago it caught…

Granny and lies.
Hello All. Last night was the president’s state of the nation address.I didn’t watch.Why would I?One lie after another.Loadshedding was reduced to stage one.He crowed about how they were reducing loadshedding.The minute the SONA was over we were back to stage four. Talking about loadshedding.My son was without electricity for about a week.Not sure what…

Granny and life after death.
Hello All. Don’t panic.Not a sad post. I got to thinking.Always dangerous.I worked until I was 75.I was chairperson of the complex.I did all my brother’s finances.I did all my Dad’s finances. M did so much.He did the washing.He did the vacuuming.He washed up.He peeled vegetables.He did it all. Now, they are all gone.I am,…

Granny and humour.
Hello All. I have a black sense of humour.As does my son.And now, my doctor. While I had Covid I phoned my doc.Told him I was scared to sleep.In case I just slipped away. His reply.A lovely way to go.Said I wasn’t ready yet.He asked if I had someone checking on me every day.I said…

Granny and so it continues
This was meant to be a short post to wish you all a great Christmas. Unfortunately, while I DO hope you all had a great time, it has been simply horrific for me. Some time back I said, to someone, I will be glad when 2023 is over.2023 said “you think?”First I got Covid.Really badly.Thought…

Granny peeps in.
Hello All. Where to start?I think of things I want to tell you.Then I see loadshedding is about to startTo make matters worse, the other day we had no water either.I think the government is screwing with us. M’s pension fund is certainly playing mind games with me.Out of the blue they, suddenly, wanted a…

Granny is confused again.

Granny goes WHAT?
Hello All. So much has happened.Where to start.The above picture is my friend’s dog.She is deaf.The dog, not my friend.And, as you can see, living a great life. Now, the storm.We got a 100mm of rain in 49 hours.With gale force winds.I was lying in bed when I heard a huge crash.Thought to myself, “I…

Granny finds treasure.
Hello All. Yes, I reckon I found something so great.Am still going through all the stuff at my Dad’s house.Yesterday I unearthed a camera.Belonging to my grandfather.Considering I am 76, this camera is ancient.Also, a light meter.In a lovely bag. It even has a roll of film.Am sure this is an antique.What do you think?…
