Very interesting.   I suspect that the thatch roofs are, however, very good 
insulation.

PESO: Thatched Roof Mansion

[Alan C]

In the 1990's large thatched roof houses became popular in Phalaborwa 
particularly along the NE border overlooking the veld adjoining the 
Kruger Park. This house was the first R1M house in the town when the 
Rand/US$ exchange rate was still about 2. Today the exchange rate is 
about 15 which shows just how much the economy has deteriorated. Because 
the economy is so depressed such a house will probably sell for as 
"little" as R2M today - a bargain if you can afford it. These houses 
have subsequently gone out of favour because of high roof maintenance 
costs & the danger of fire (I can think of 2 caused by internal 
electrical faults, not lightning because they all have tall lightning 
arrestor poles.)

PESOs - Memorial Day parade

[Brian W]

Paul's PESO 'Decoration Day' reminded me that back in 2013 our USA trip was
winding down and we found ourselves in the small Californian town of Ferndale as
the Memorial Day parade was just getting underway. The wet weather didn't deter
the event.

A couple of images:

Re: OT - Golden Vanity

[John]

One of the regulars in my music circle played with Pete Seeger back during his 
college days (1950s).


He passed last year. Stroke, not Covid, but we weren't allowed to visit him at 
the end because of the quarantine.


I'm hoping Covid hasn't been the end of our music circle, but we also lost our 
meeting place during the shutdown, so even though the restrictions are easing we 
have no place to go.

If it’s taking you to a Facebook login page, I suggest you examine your

The video can be found by going to Youtube and searching ‘Tom Cunliffe Yachts

really fun!


glad Rick asked you the question about how you got where you are, too..

Is there a vid of the elephant actually bathing in that pool?

Only wild life here is mostly the human kind.  Although after Ashley's 
departure in April it didn't take long before "Stuart LIttle" reappeared 
, spotted

scurrying across my living room floor in midday...
