Last night I took the dressing off (I have my second toe buddy-strapped to my middle toe, as my big toe spasms if I use it) to inspect.
Still all sorts of shades of purple and blue, and the swelling makes it look like a fat little sausage 🤣
I have minimal feeling in the tip of my toe, but a...
It's day 3 of no walking.
I haven't gone completely loopy from boredom and lack of exercise yet. Beer does wonders for the pain and throbbing.

Tomorrow I will jump on the bicycle and see if applying pressure on the pedals...

- Their fees are low (R135pm for a...
It's not just the EC.
On Monday I saw busses loaded with kids in two different areas. One decided to go from 100kmh to a dead stop on the N1. No lights, no indicators, no changing lanes. Nothing.
I can't remember what the other one did, but I think he decided to jump a red light at a busy...
Or just don't overtake on blind corners/rises/dips.

People are so impatient they can't wait 1 minute to pass safely, but will happily wipe themselves and others out. You save a minute but lose your life.
Coming back from Sun City in the cage on Sunday...
