Fiona from Henderson

However, I feel that this could be so many of us with all of these in depth, passionate, heart felt, heart breaking and sometimes, demoralising conversations about today's issues.

😄We need to keep smiling, we really do😄

Hi there good friends
I've been retired now for 3 going on 4 years and was a consultant in my working life but I tried a sideline of having a jewelry website on the side. As soon as I retired had an unexpected heart attack and since then the health has not been all that good with one thing and another. We downsized and moved into St Clair Village. I found some stock still that was left over when I shut the website down around 3 years ago. It's good stock ranging from Mens and Ladies Watches to general jewelry. I will attach a pdf with a picture, the number available, and what I was selling at a retail cost (this can be changed to suit your style of selling). I would like to sell the whole portfolio to a "good home" - not a shark but somebody that would be fair to it's clients like I have been. Remember what you put out is what you get in return as the saying goes. Anyway I hope somebody would take up the offer or know of somebody that would. The approx retail in total is about $19,000. I would only like about $1250 ono for the whole lot. If you are interested could you please message me or text me on 0274 456 024. I would really appreciate your help. It's just sitting in our garage. Anyway have a look at the stock and let me know your thoughts. I'm not a person of greed and hopefully it would all go to a like-minded person. Please have a look at the PDF file for details. Thanks for your time

Sadly, we've reached a new high of positive Covid results today, absolutely shocking and so very disappointing.
We've all read the posters telling us to wear our mask (and social distance) since way back when all of this Covid stuff started.
We've all heard the various Government departments and media platforms telling us the exact same message, hell even our leader has told us to do this almost on a daily message as so many people just haven't got the message yet.
And yet ... so many people won't because they can't be bothered or they will refuse to do so spouting this, that or the other.
Now, unless they are medically signed off proving that they can't wear a mask for medial reasons, there is absolute no reason whatsoever for them to not be wearing a mask
Also, if they are wearing a mask - there are those who are wearing it incorrectly which is in effect a waste of time wearing one then.
We are all clever enough to know that wearing a mask will not stop the virus, but it sure as hell will slow down the transmission of it between each other.
The masks are to protect each other, your family, my family, everyone's family.
I have included a couple of pics to remind all of us how to wear the mask correctly, even one for the cat lovers - lol
While I'm here, when you dispose of the masks, please, PLEASE dispose of them correctly.
I'm fed up seeing them disposed of all over the place now e.g. gutters, people's gardens, thrown out of the car windows etc ... replacing the takeaways rubbish we used to see before lockdown.
Those poor people who have to come up behind you and pick them up, putting their lives at risk, all because you were too lazy to put your mask in the rubbish bin.
PLEASE dispose of them correctly in the rubbish bins and don't forget to sanitise your hands afterwards.
