LOBTAILING TAKES ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING

Julie Murphy from Florida USA took the opportunity of ideal weather conditions to limber up before breakfast on her and Malcolm’s last morning at Dolphin B&B+S/C. Undeterred at not having seen dolphins or whales during their weekend here, Julie easily adopted a yoga position aptly called ‘dolphin’ and you can see why.
The birdlife kept them busy and they ably ID’d many of the 200 species that can be ticked off in front of my house and a sandveld lizard had them fascinated as they watched it kill a scorpion, its favourite food.

CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS

... or can be read as "We're coming to check up on you!"

Six frontline staff from Cape Town Tourism visited Dolphin B&B+S/C today to experience the product I offered and generally to chew the cud over mutual matters.

On their departure I handed each of them a carrier (sporting cavorting dolphins, of course!) containing items indicative of the unique area I operate in: a candle from Waxit, a sample sachet of Khoisan salt, stroop en beskuit van Susan se Kombuis and promotional literature. But they have to work for their visit! Included is an A5 booklet that I have put together, which covers the west coast and all it offers the traveller. They have promised to send me their comments – indeed criticism – for inclusion in the final version. Thanks, Gretchen, Charlene, Mduduzi, Tarryn, Henry and Phillip – I will appreciate that.

HOOK, LINE AND NEARLY SUNK BY SARS

I was referred to Postal Tax Services – as it was then called – nearly 20 years ago when Riaan Odendaal got me off the SARS hook that I’d ignorantly and innocently attached myself to and since then he and his staff at First Coast Business Centre have served me admirably.
Have a decko at his website http://www.linkedin.com/in/riaanodendaal to see the range of tax and accounting services he offers.

Giving him and Aneleh a well deserved break was simply my way of saying thank you for his loyal service and friendship and, to boot, at last I got to meet the rest of the family whom I only knew through the annual Christmas cards I received. Luzaan (19) is studying to become an educationist and Riaan (17) who aspires to life in the bush though how he’s going to cope with no surf, heaven only knows. Talking of which, he discovered the two surfing spots in Britannia Bay: heaven (where the waves break over craggy rocks) and hell (where body-surfing is the nature of the game), but conceded that sea temperatures of 13°C are hard to handle.

Ek hoop dis nie so lank voor ons mekaar weer sien nie en dat julle darem heerlik in die Agterbaai gekuier het.
