All work and no play...well, not entirely true.

Just back from a solid two week stint in the Eastern Cape, interesting, challenging work. Meeting lots of new people and assessing as fast as my on-board processor can process.

Generally a rather sad state of affairs, but it's a long story...

One of many artesian boreholes I visited.

No "crabon fibre" here and yes that ball is solid lead. Rumour has it that it's a bitch on the uphill.

 Grateful thanks to the S.I.N. brothers.
