So safely back home again…hhmmm where is home really. 

Sold my car back at home. Its a bitter sweet feeling today. Reality is that its starting to feel so much more permanent coming here. 

On the flight J was making great work at sleeping. Was so lovely having him there. I watched movies and then ended up talking to this guy in the row next to me. He’s sort of like a auto electrician type of mechanical guy. He work on big vehicles engines. We got chatting And he was telling me. That for him to come live in SA would be the best choice he can make in life. But his family has been misinformed by the TV, he says yes there is crime in SA, but his family don’t realise in the US there’s just as much. The money he would earn for his trade will make him “rich” where in the US he lives average. He said that High growth is expected for most categories of technician and trade workers. The MERSETA recently conducted a survey of scarce and critical skills within the manufacturing sector and identified a range of trades which are in high demand in 2012 upwards.  

He explained that the Germans have figured this out already and thus their reason for having so many business’s here already, its just in time when the US realised this market growth.

He explained that even with the BEE laws they don’t win as there is a demand for certain trades and that gets filled with your experience not by BEE.

So in conclusion….there is a positive thought, maybe ill bring my future hubby to boerewors and braai vleis. 

Home will always be where the “springbokke” and “sharks” are.

I had such a lovely morning with J… I woke up with him playing guitar. As I walked out he was sitting in the lounge on the floor, playing foolish games singing softly…I walked out, smiled and he kept singing. I sat by him on the floor just listening…it was such a great moment. The way he looks at me, I wish I can explain the passion. “Your always brilliant in the morning. Smoking your cigarettes, and talking over coffee…” I sometimes wonder if im in a movie and moments like this really is just part of the script…

I think we found a house!!!!! Yeah…
