  1. I needed to make a sympathy card for my Brother-in-law whose sister died yesterday so I made sure I used something from my Scrap Girls stash to make the card. 

  2. Level 9 warnings in the Western Cape for bad wind. Two trucks have been blown over already. Trees, roof tiles, fences and much more damage. Fires in Paarl. Tonight, the rain starts and then there will be flooding. We are safe here, but I feel sorry for the people in the bad areas.

      Thanks Jane. Everyone is safe on the farms. Nedelene is Knysna got so much rain. The homes in the town are all flooded. Luckily, her farm is okay.

      Jan, my son at the House on the Hill farm, said he always prayed to one day have a farm with a river. He bought a farm with a river and now, after the heavy rain, he has got two rivers. 🙄

      The worst is over down here but the storm is moving up the coast. The warning level has dropped from level 9 to level 6.

      I always tell my son, one day, I'm going to buy a caravan and move onto the farm. He said he would put me next to the river. That's where all the flooding is. 🤣

      Thank you for caring. Hope your family is well and stay safe.

      The wind in Cape Town is so strong, it's reversing the waves. Such a storm and no waves. I'm hoping the worst passed in the night before the people go on the roads to work this morning. The schools are even closing in the worst hit areas. Thank you all for your concern. We are known as the Cape of Storms.

      Things are bad at the moment and getting worse. Thank goodness my granddaughter, Bianca, made it home safely. They are closing all the mountain passes in the Western Cape. It looks like the worst of the storm is going to hit in Helderberg where my son has a farm. Luckily, my family is all staying put at home.

  9. I just managed to upload 1 layout when my laptop conked, again...

    Last time I lost a lot of stash. I was able to get it back from Angie. I was going to do backups today, but of course, I didn't. 🤔

      The guy got it going again and I did my backups. He said I must bring it back today, but I think I will try to finish the month first.

  12. @Belle are you watching the rugby world cup final now. May the best team win (its between the All Blacks🙂  and Springboks)

      Belle

      I've got visitors so didn't open my laptop on Sunday. I felt for the All Blacks. I think they played the better game but I'm thrilled that we won. The expression on the All Blacks captain's face was so sad when the final whistle blew. I really felt very sorry for him. I'm terribly proud of our team. Well done bokke!

  21. My computer has broken down. Probably from all the layouts that I did in the last 2 months. I had to take it in today. That is why I was rushing to finish my bingo. The guy says he doesn't know if he can retrieve anything. I've got 2 months of SG stash that I will have to download again. 😪 Not to even mention the photos.

      I've got my computer back. I have found my Scrap Girls but I don't know how to get and icon on the desktop. I never had this problem before. When I downloaded SG it automatically put an icon on for me. I'll do some more tomorrow.

      A kidney op takes a lot out of you. Henry had his kidney removed a year ago. It took a long time to heal.
