Hi Gilli,
Well I suggested they should notify us of friends posts about eight months ago and hey, when they do the sensibe thing it works.
Multipe sources of income though? Not so long ago you didn't have any sources of income. Well done for turning things round.
I'll talk to you offline about your website but look out for my private posts, I will be bringing ways of getting more hits to my friends (I am restricting it tyo friends because I don't want to become the target of many "how do I?" mails.
love
Ian

Hello,
I thought Id take a look and see, (after a considerable and unforgivable absence), what my favourite bloggers have been up to, namely Ian. Time has been prodding me along like a relentless cattle herder's stick for several weeks and at this unsocial hour (4.32am) I was drawn to blog. Your face was a new decoration to his 'friends' list and I clicked on out of instinct. I too have had an eventful life, unusual, unfair but never dull. Been the typical (fake) independant, strong, advise giving,worldly wise, been there done that, totally forgiving, totally pride-tethered when needing help pratt that never lost faith in my 'do as you would be done by' life motto. Watching the characterless, bitter, twisted, manipulative, non spiritual, souless, '4x4 to the health spa' driving herds of women, living the life of riley on expenses paid for by a husband who they despise for the benefit of a lover too poor to leave him for. And I've wondered what its all about. Then I discovered a book. I think you ought to read it. At risk of being branded a 'weirdo' rather than the usual and now comfortable tag, 'interestingly excentric'I wont give the book's name here but will do so happily if you want to know. Request by email if you wish, you will if you're ready to change your understanding of reality, the clues to your happiness that have been given to you for so long. I have nothing to do with the book its not a sales pitch (unfortunately :))but there is an old saying. 'When the pupil is ready, the teacher will appear.' PS No, Im not a nutter. Have a good weekend in your far away land. Evie

And then............. I go and get a pre-eviction notice from my landlords, have to come up with a certain amount otherwise out!! They have been very good I must admit and very patient while I have been trying to make money. But don't know what to do, Have to come up with (in my currency - rands) R15 000.00 this week for lights and water and rent and telephone, and only get this salary of about R4000.00 tomorrow , so yeah a bit tense! I have only my faith / supernatural/ spiritual (don't scoff Ian) to rely on cos I cetainly do not have any normal natural means of getting this money together. If it were just me sure, could cope, but the oldies will suffer too.... So for those of youwho do pray, keep me in your prayers!

On the good side of things......... I love living in Africa! truly do. We are at the beginning of Spring here and the season are still vying against each other for control. For instance we have had a couple of wet , cold rainy days, and today, just after sunrise, there was a heat haze that confirms the weather reports expected temperature of 32 degrees (centigrade that is).
It is going to be a beautiful hot African day.
Later!

Hi,
Come on Gilli, things can't be that bad. Think of poor Janny sitting in the path of a hurricane (actually it will probably blow itself out before it gets that far inland - but still. I wish I could be there to hold her hand. Coz I have always loved storms and would really like to be in the middle of one. People who have say its an amazing experience.
So cheers up. As old people in Lancashire used to say - enjoy today, tomorrow could be worse.... :-)
