By

Since my life-changing event in February of this year I have embarked on a mission to accept any invite to any event in Port Elizabeth - still waiting for that invite to the opening of an envelope! Last night was the turn of the Makoy Fast Food Diner at 152 Main Road, Walmer.

  This is a Drill, This is a Drill. - Some Electrical Contractor Humour.

By

Some of my favourite #sharethebay images currently being exhibited at the Athenaeum in PortElizabeth - Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know.

Yoh Yoh - Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know. On a trip through the Kei Cuttings, Transkei on Tuesday 22 August the Gale Force winds blew this vehicle trailer carrying JoJo tanks over, instantly jacking the back wheels up, rendering them pretty much useless as propulsion devices. Excuse the quality we had a mass of vehicles behind us pushing us on. … [Read more...] about Yoh Yoh
