Better. Apparently they are extremely aggressive although they don't seem to have travelled up North (yet). We get to contend with those large paper wasps here and they are very partial to nesting outside

This is good! I'm turning into a cat lady 😹

I'm also an analogue dinosaur although I love the digital age. I had mental arithmetic drummed into me as a kid, I still use it a lot at work

It's clear that you are enjoying your creating life! I never heard of fried peanuts before, I always dry roast them. I relate to having better things to do than housework

Yup, those are an invasive species. As far as I know, there's a reporting hotline in the W Cape and these creatures will be removed as SANBI are quite keen to contain their spread down there

My lack of fear brings all sorts of weirdness that other people would have the sense to avoid.

You are indeed

Damn, that's awful. It was definitely a good time to get out of there

I hope it stays that way for you!

I've heard all about it and I wouldn't live in Rosettenville even if you paid me. I'm glad you got out and my area is generally less infested with drug dealers and house hijackers but Johannesburg isn't

Our lives are very surreal

As someone I know oncew pointed out: In this place, it's a decision between the first and second deck of the Titanic

Thanks @indiaunited and @steemflow

Me too but the odds are stacked against them

It's easy to get caught up in our lives, I know it all too well

Sadly, our countryside is home to a lot of drug-manufacturing, alcoholism and domestic violence. I wouldn't live there if you paid me

Unfortunately there is very little regulation on vicious dogs here

The traffickers actually rented this house

Awww

I bought a house cash (was supposed to pay my brother back, long story) and by the time the sale finally went through and I moved in, I'd lost the job that was my main source of income. I'm still here,
