A new day

Well with most of the preparations done on Withoek,  we are now busy digging the holes and it is coming on surprisingly well.  The workers are doing about 10 holes an hour with about averaging 14 working we should be finishing somewhere next week.  What surprised me most is that we drove the tractors and my bakkie on the soil after the bulldozer ripped it and the places where we sort of left a small road the soil immediately were a lot harder than the other places.  Just emphasising the pressure vehicles put on the soil during the everyday work -spraying, discing, etc. 
Well you will see that there is a new blog on my links.  This blog called  http://www.diecalitzdorper.blogspot.com/ is a open blog where you guys can inform your fellow citizens on the happenings according to you in Calitzdorp.  Anything from maybe a positve remark to just straight info like Laurence make excellent bread.  I do believe there is a place for people to put info out.
 The username is the email adress calitzdorp@hotmail.com and the password is a bit like the guesswork we had to do a few Sundays back at the Amazing Race - Calitzdorp.  The clue is:  It stands proud over the town and can be seen from 10km from the east.  You can also go to the blog itself where I do explain a bit more.  Hope you all take part.
