From bud to full bloom..........

.........all during the course of one day.  And a beautiful specimen it is too.

We started the day with a lovely cool breeze and finished it the same way making it a lot more pleasant both for work and sleeping.  

I was very grateful as I spent a good part of it on the road between clients, catching up with two of our Millwright learners and finally making my way to Springs to collect my drivers licence.  It only took me five months to do that latter but again I was very impressed by their service which was great as I was in and out in less than five minutes.

If only the other Government departments were quite so efficient.  One of our young people needed to renew his disability grant and has been at SASSA three times without even being seen.  On his last visit he arrived at 05h00 to find that there were already 62 people in the queue in front of him.
