Heating with Gas

Winter is surely here so I had to dig out the gas heater from the garage and get the gas bottle refilled. Let there be heat and there was heat. With the Game of Thrones gone from the small screens for over Now the winter can commence. 

Nearly 100

Wow, petrol is expensive in South Africa; it is the first time that it took nearly R100 to fill the tank of my Vespa. And to make matters worse it is going up again next week. Well the reason is all the tax and levies that is being added to the cost of the fuel. We export fuel to Botswana, Swaziland, and Lesotho yet their fuel is sold at nearly half our price per litre.

Oh well I better tighten my belt with all this commuting on my Vespa lately.

Happy Feet

I bought an Elba gas cooker to replace large gourmet Defy electric cooker. The aim is to slowly convert to be less reliant on government parastatals. We have 2 solar geysers, a heat pump for the swimming pool, and now a gas cooker. A long way to go as I still need solar panels and batteries for electricity, solar swimming pool pump, rain water collectors, and to re-commission the borehole. But for the moment I am all happy feet.
