Wednesday 9 Dec

We’re on the coffee run this morning, delivering sugar & coffee to the Spark Gallery for our crafters. We had to meet up with Victor in Evaton at 10am though so once we’d dropped off the goods we hit the road armed with RedBull and Cigarettes, breakfast of champions. We where supposed to make a turn at Sharpeville today but due to us having to play caterer for our guys in Norwood we’ve had to rethink our day. By the time we got to Victor, it had started raining, I think it’s the Opels bad luck. Interesting fact about Evaton - it was founded in 1894, before which it was a farm named Wildebeesfontein that belonged to the Adams family ( no, not that Adams family ). The land was sold to the people with settlement rights and was not for government use. Later, however, former president Thabo Mbeki would create the Evaton Development Project to aide the people living there! Anyway..
Victor took us through his Oral presentation swiftly and we where able to cover some points with him concerning his profit margin and other aspects of his business such as mark ups in price and further marketing strategies. The meeting went well and he seems just as excited to have us working with him as we are! Such a cool guy! As soon as we’d wrapped up in Evaton it was back to Norwood to deliver our crafters lunches and taxi fare, we learnt that we will be doing the same thing tomorrow and next week Mon. & Tues. Whilst we where under the impressionthat itt was only yesterday and todays workshops until next year! ( Just when you think you know whats going on..) And were already a bit behind our schedule! If we wanna be done for Christmas we’d better start moving…
