At some point, I'll catch up

It's exhausting trying to juggle daily life activities folks, so I'll catch up by this weekend. This means I will put captions on all of the pictures I posted from Saturday so you know what the picture signifies and what it's history is, etc.,

In the meantime, working a lot. Nothing new to report. I keep forgetting my camera when going to work, so I keep forgetting to take pictures of my little office in the toolshed. Hopefully I will get around to it this week when the hustle and bustle of the workplace has calmed down. . .

Below I have created a South African Word Pronounce Guide for common words which people here said I mispronounced or had no idea what I was talking about, and therefore had to translate it for me.

Word / How I pronounce it or call it / How South Africans pronounce or call it
Zebra                 "Zee-bra"                                                  "Zeh-bra"

Tomato               "Toe-may-toe"                                         "Toe-mah-toe"

Hub Cap               "Hub Cap"                                              "Bob Cap"

Pickle                    "Pickle"                                                   "Gherkin"

Status                     "Stah-tus"                                                  "Stay-tus"

Hours of             "Hours of Operation"                              "Trading Hours"

If I think of anymore, I'll update the list. I think my favorite one is gherkin. I just learned what it meant this past weekend :-)

Enjoy~
