Phew, am tired today, dragging my feet to the painting table. Well the school clock project semed to be a hit, thats great,  Todays story it could have been the guy getting assaulted for running his transport business during a strike, but do I feel like that doom and gloom today, nah. Also great news is that one of Kentridge's drawings sold for R2m. Wow guess the drinks are on him at the pub tonight!  So through all the drudgery of todays news i'm going to choose a  small little article that says according to a study done in Geneva, South Africans are among the heaviest drinkers in the world...didi I say I wasn't in the mood or doom and gloom..mmm.
