Zimbabwebound

Just last week I was running extremely low on cement and we had to finish the working week a day early whilst I tried to locate reasonably priced cement.  I have learnt from past experience that I need to run about three leads at the same time and generally only one lead comes through with the goods.  Well, I had gotten two leads and was pretty much convinced that both had fallen through so Jodi and I, along with Graham (our builder) and Sarah (his wife) decided to go to Botswana for the night so we could collect some groceries and other miscellaneous items for the build.  Just before we were about to leave I got a call from my first lead saying that they agreed to my price for the cement and that they would have 20 pockets waiting for me to pick up ASAP … not even 5 minutes later I got a call from my second lead saying that they also had cement now and that they would come down to the price that I had offered.  Of course this would happen when I had other things to do … anyway to make a short story long; we postponed our trip by about 2 hours whilst I collected the cement from various locations (including a back street alley).
