Ticket sales started today
4 months ago
The on-line ticketing system went live today. A very fair system is in place where a lottery will decide who gets tickets, if any match is oversubscribed. So whether you put in a bid today or on the last day of this 1st round of ticket sales, your chance of success is the same.
Later on, any tickets still available can be bought on a first-come, first serve basis.
PS the Stadium in Durban is starting to look good.
The Road
5 months ago
Just finished reading “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy. Devestatingly well written.
I like having a long list of books that I want to read. That way there is usually one or more available at the Library for me to choose when I finish the previous one.
I’m managing about 16 books per year, reading about fourty minutes a day.
