[06:52] good mornings [07:05] Morning in [07:05] inetpro: [07:05] paddatrapper: hi [07:05] how's Cape Town doing today? [07:05] Enter and tab shouldn't be so close together on this phone... [07:06] haha... [07:06] It's wet! Though it's just drizzling, so not the rain we need. How are you doing? [07:06] always good thanks [07:07] at least we know that it's not your rainy season just yet [07:07] but I hope you get some relief soon [07:07] Yeah true. I hope so too [07:07] also still need lots more rain here in the north [07:08] How much have you had this summer? There seemed to be very little over the few days in December and Jan that I was there [07:10] I haven't measured properly to be honest but I can tell you that we have not had the normal rainfall for the season yet [07:11] Eish. Well there is still time, so hopefully you get all you need [07:12] and the lawn is struggling to get going, at least we're saving on lawnmower costs [07:29] inetpro: true! We just rake the dust now lol [12:09] lol [12:09] afternoon all [12:10] including paddatrapper and inetpro [12:10] hi chesedo [12:11] how is your semester coming along paddatrapper [12:11] *? [12:12] chesedo: it's just before test week now, so it's crunch time. Lots of assignments due and very little time to do them [12:12] but that is the nature of UCT at the moment [12:12] how's yours going? [12:15] about half way done... just past assignment overload... until apr at least... [12:15] paddatrapper: do you two or four semester a year? [12:15] s/semester/semesters/ [12:16] chesedo: 2 semesters, but each is broken up into two, so half way through are the first tests [12:18] ouch, at least i only have one per semester... all though i might be happier if we had two small ones in the same way, but might be a massive paper handling nightmare for unisa [12:41] I'm sure it would be... [16:31] hi paddatrapper, chesedo, inetpro [16:32] Hi superfly. How's the house redecoration going? [16:32] not so much redecoration as much as fixing things and finding where to put stuff [16:33] (or building things to help with fixing stuff or finding where to put stuff) [16:33] paddatrapper: if you're ever flying around the USA, you *must* come and visit. [16:34] superfly: thanks. I certainly shall [16:35] Yeah there's always a lot of fixing and moving stuff around when you move into a new place [16:35] I need to get my veggie garden up and running, it's planting season already [16:36] and I need to go and buy stuff to build my chicken coop/run [16:38] How many chickens are you thinking of getting? [16:38] hi superfly, sounds like fun... or is is past that point yet [16:38] paddatrapper: just 8 at this stage. We'll probably end up with more later on. [16:39] chesedo: still fun :-) [16:39] things take on a different meaning when you own your house [16:39] superfly: nice. Good supply of eggs there [16:40] how often do they lay eggs? [16:40] This is where we live: https://goo.gl/maps/JNRrjtdRR2P2 [16:41] chesedo: the particular type of chicken I'm getting lays about 300 eggs per year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australorp [16:42] wow, eggs for breakfast almost every day... [16:44] with 8 hens you should have eggs every day [16:58] That's the plan! [17:09] So pigs shedding bacon is next? :P [17:10] chesedo: I don't know. Lots of people round here actually have goats, so we *might* try that. [17:11] for the milk or meat? [17:11] But we also just picked up 2 puppies, so I wanna get through the puppies and the chickens before I think of anything else. [17:11] Mostly the milk. [17:11] * chesedo always wanted to try goat's milk [17:12] chesedo: you should be able to get some in Checkers or Pick n Pay. I remember seeing it occasionally. [17:12] You'd need to go to a hypermarket or something probably. [17:12] Otherwise look to see if there's a local farmer's market. [17:12] have looked before... may not have been hard enough... [17:13] chesedo: I probably saw cheese more often than I saw milk. [17:14] that is of course something else to try with the goat's milk too in the future... well the heat might be a kicker [17:15] paddatrapper: have you ever been to Fairview? [17:15] chesedo: there's a goat farm outside Cape Town that I've been to, and I think I had some milk there. I know goat's milk tastes very different to cow's milk. [17:16] https://www.fairview.co.za/ [17:24] superfly: no I haven't (at least I don't remember visiting) [17:48] o/ [17:53] hey nlsthzn [18:03] hey superfly, how are you? [18:05] nlsthzn: I'm doing well thanks! How are you? [18:42] Can't complain thanks :) [19:00] Ahot Za! [19:00] Ahoy [19:38] awho? [19:51] ? [20:33] good night nlsthzn [20:34] * pavlushka thinks it is a dictionary supported channel, here ni+tab autocompletes to night, good to say good night even being sleepy :p [20:39] >.>
