Inquiring minds and all...
https://www.google.com/search?client...n+plan+meaning as taken from Boer Dutch
A "farmer makes a plan"

Interesting phrases cross my path. The best I've never heard, and some made up on my own. I'm after a distinct 'label' for my building, not like a company name, more an identity. It deserves it, I want it, been uphill every inch of the way. Like pushing a rope; upstairs!
I've saved many, Boer maak n plan, is the latest. Time comes, likely will post them, get suggestions and reactions to reach No 1.

Except for ESCOM.

A friend yesterday said over the weekend they changed the power cut schedule, he plugged in his morning teapot and the power went off. He wound up building a small rocket stove so now he can have his morning eggs and caffeine regardless of power.
