Tuesday Tip

This one is quite relevant in Cape Town today, heavy rain, blocked drains, clogged gutters etc. Do not be tempted to climb on to your roof if you are a man over a certain age, you are not as young and agile as you think. We have so many friends and acquaintances in their fifties who have had climbing accidents - at home. There's the guy who fell of his roof and luckily only broke one bone, the one who fell off and broke several and spent ages in hospital. The doctor (really you'd think he would know better) who broke his ankle cleaning out the gutters. So many accidents. My favourite is the guy who balanced a ladder from the back of his bakkie on to a tree branch, planning to walk across and cut a few branches. The wind had other ideas but I believe he was well cared for in hospital.
Please, dear loved ones, we want to enjoy your company a while longer, take care.
