Nog ‘n Sprokie oor ons Fabeldorpie

Daar is nou ‘n teerpad na die fabeldorpie, kompleet met ‘n spookhuis, asook Alice in Wonderland se pophuisie. Heidi wonder waarheen is haar oupa? Vriendelike tannies stap elke dag op die hoofpad en groet almal vriendelik.

Intussen is dit die surviver game , waar almal , almal moet vind en uitsorteer.

O daar onderkant die stasie, daar bly ou Skom, elke oggend fluit hy saam met die 6.10 trein..

Maar Rooikappie se kleinnig Liewe Heksie, woon ook in die bos, sy en die houtkapper kuier met ‘n mandjie met aartappels en druiwe wat gefermenteer het. Sy huppel verby die parkie waar mense lekker swing en wip, verby ‘n kasteel en ‘n eensame houthuisie op die kant van die heuwel. Die wolf het ‘n vuur gemaak by die waterpoel en baie dors gelyk. Skoonlief het in die somerson gele en die natuur waardeer in haar min gewaad waar die Ondier waghou. Peeping Tom het sy nuwe digitale kamera gebruik. Aspoestertjie het Liewe Heksie se besem gaan ry, maar te naby aan die vuur parkeer. Die gevaar skuil onder in die troebel water, maar hulle is nie bang om daaroor te filosifeer nie. Maslow se behoefteleer het nog ‘n sportjie bygekry. Pavlof se bruin perd met die blonde ridder kom tot die redding. Die waternooientjie loer deur die biesies en wens sy kon ook deel wees van die partyjie.

Hulle spekuleer hoeveel lede bygekom het by die AfValgGulde noudat Klippe Cabana hiberneer. Die KKK bestaan blykbaar ook nie meer nie.

Smaak maar die boomtrek het die inding geword.

Dit lyk na nuwe mense by die slaghuis. Die polisie kan nou meer aandag gee aan belangrike sake en pligte. Op die bopunt van Euwelheuwel word daar gebaljaar in die borrelbad.

Hier op die wegkruipoord is musiektalent, hul wat nie sing nie, timmer die tromme of kitare of is klankingenieurs. Daar was meer musikante op die kermis as toeskouers, so ook meer stalletjies as voete. Die plek en die weer was perfek. Hou ook die nuutgevonde vonds dop. Sy musiek is bekend, tot in Amerika.

Hulle hoor hoe sing ou Skom die volgende romantiese lied: (met countryklanke)

Sag waai die briesie oor die heuwel in die skemerlig,

met die windlaaiers wat met hul eie ritmes dig,

terwyl ek saam met jou sit en op my ou kitaar begin tokkel

die reuk van die soel warm somer vul my, en ek dink aan fokkol.

So terloops..

Anderkant die spoor, op Radioweg is links afdraai Houtstok nr 93. Luiter gerus….

By die klipkafee, (nie die spoorkafee) is daar nou ‘n herstelgarage, so almal met ouer karre, net vir julle..

Fear is generally the only thing that holds people back from achieving personal success. Regardless of what you do, set aside your fears and be who you really are.

Snake Rescue Team

When you need help with a snake, feel free to phone Derek or Jacques to remove the snake from your property, free of charge! They will take the snake to a safe place, away from residential properties and free it again. Our aim is to get people not to kill snakes; most people kill it just because it’s a snake and might be harmful to humans. Unfortunately we cannot always be available to come and help with snakes, but we will try our best to assist wherever we can.

MAGDALEEN SE BLOMMEHOEKIE

TUINDAGGA: -Klipdagga – Leonotis ocymifolia

Dit is ‘n een/tweejarige struikie wat tot ongeveer 1.5m hoog groei. Dit groei horisontaal, maar kan meerstammig groei as dooie blomme uitgeknip word. Die oranje blomme groei in ry ronde bolle en is ongeveer 70mm in deursnee. Dit hou van volson en groei wild in grasveld, rotsriwwe en woudrande. Die saad versprei maklik.

Wilde Dagga – Leonotis Leonurus

Die wilde dagga, wat van die Salie familie is, is ‘n meerjarige struik wat tot 2m hoog en 1 – 2m wyd groei. Die blare is dofgroen en lansetvormig.

Die oranje of wit blomme groei in klompies aan die bo-kant van die take, vanaf herfs tot lente.

Die struik is taai en bestand teen ryp en droogte. Dit groei van die Wes Kaap tot in Natal. Plant dit in goeie grond, in volson met genoeg water tot dit gevestig is. Dit groei maklik van steggies. Snoei die struik goed in die lente, na die blomtyd. As die blomknoppe gereeld uitgeknip word, sal dit aanhou blom.

Die blomme van beide klip- en wilde dagga produseer baie nectar wat die bye en veral die suikerbekkies lok.

Leonotis beteken leeu se oor – dit dui op die vorm en tekstuur Die Tuindagga is geensins verwant aan die mak dagga (Cannabis sativa) nie. Die blare van die tuindagga lyk baie soos die van sommige mak dagga – vandaar die naam.

Health

Studies show these benefits from the major components of Epsom Salt may:

Magnesium:

Ease stress and improves sleep and concentration

Help muscles and nerves function properly

Regulate activity of 325+ enzymes

Help prevent artery hardening and blood clots

Make insulin more effective

Reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps

Improve oxygen use

Sulfates:

Flush toxins

Improve absorption of nutrients

Help form joint proteins, brain tissue and mucin proteins

Help prevent or ease migraine headaches

Magnesium is the second-most abundant element in human cells and the fourth-most important positively charged ion in the body, so it's little wonder this low-profile mineral is so vital to good health and well being. Magnesium, a major component of Epsom Salt, also helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. The National Academy of Sciences, however, reports that most Americans are magnesium deficient, helping to account for our society's high rate of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and joint pain, digestive maladies and stress-related illnesses, chronic fatigue and a host of other ailments. The Academy estimates the average American male gets just 80% of the magnesium required for good health, while females get only 70% of their recommended levels. Nutritionists say Americans' magnesium levels have dropped more than 50% in the past century.

Better health through soaking

Magnesium can be ingested as a nutritional supplement, but studies show that a wide variety of factors - the presence of specific foods or drugs, certain medical conditions, even the individual chemistry of a person's stomach acid - can interfere with their effectiveness. But all of the subjects in a recent study experienced increased magnesium levels from soaking in a bath enriched with magnesium sulfate crystals, commonly known as Epsom Salt.

Researchers and physicians report that raising your magnesium levels may:

Improve heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.

Improve the body's ability to use insulin, reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes.

Flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.

Improve nerve function by regulating electrolytes. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood.

Relieve stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

While increasing your magnesium levels, Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates, which are extremely difficult to get through food but which readily absorb through the skin. Sulfates serve a wide variety of functions in the body, playing a vital role in the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and are believed to help detoxify the body's residue of medicines and environmental contaminants.

Studies show that magnesium and sulfur, two components of Epsom Salt may:

Help seeds germinate

Make plants grow bushier

Produce more flowers

Increase chlorophyll production

Improve phosphorus and nitrogen uptake
