I must say something about my alma mater, @UWConline and online learning... @ObePhillips @nombonisogasa @GasantAbarder @PastorMacMaster Had a convo with some UWC students last night and their experience with online learning raised my eyebrows.

"How could you have SIX assessments/assignments within the space of one week?" I asked, confused.

Valentine cliches

He took her heart and played with it
Punctured a hole or two
Patched it up with her tears and mucus
While his brain went awol too
Her mouth smiled, said forgiving things
Like bubbles that she blew
They floated down to the ground
and settled by his shoes His feet they tested her love-filled words
her loving words for him
his mind insisted Just do it!

He walked onto her words

He took her hand, her small, small hand
so warm in both of his
and thought How wonderful my hands
make her hand such bliss

Cde Mcebisi Skwatsha says he never saw cde Rhoda without a smile. Shares that Rhoda was giving the nurses trouble. Nurses accused her of being rebellious. Yeah, right! She was insisting on having a cigarette. It as her one vice, she said.

With the recently matriculated at registration at @UWConline waiting for them to finish here in the Great Hall. Air-conditioned. Seated. I remember 1977 when we stood in a queue in a baking hot sun at an admin building. No shade. No water. No chairs. Nada. After noon it was clear we were not gonna get done. Problems with the camera or printer of the student cards. An exercise in patience vs solar heated frustration. Registrar Daniels in his light grey suit & trademark smile came out & said something. Message was as short as he.
