It's been over a month and a half since my last posting - a period concentrated on how we’re going to move forward after three months of virtual inactivity work wise. I unfortunately (or perhaps - fortunately), do need to earn a living …….. not only because we really do need the bucks, but more so because if lockdown has taught me anything, it is that I really do need to get out of bed each morning with a very definite purpose of some kind.
Without that purpose I don’t think I would last more than a few months - life would simply be too boring for words. So ……………. I had to find something that would bring back the spark while at the same time hopefully put a few bucks in the bank after this horrible hiatus that has drained virtually every last penny we had on standby.
A chance conversation with my daughter-in-law, Liselle, and a mention she made concerning what an old friend in Cape Town seemed to be getting into encouraged me to call him to find out more.
Malcolm (Grant), is always that one step ahead of the shoe shine boy, and has the ability to always jump in where others fear to tread…………and almost always make a roaring success out of whatever it is that he tackles. Anyway, after a chat about his latest venture called “Hazardous Solutions”, I made up my mind that if anything was going to happen for me up here in the Eastern Cape in the midst of this crisis I had to follow suit and have a go at it.
The first step was to print up a card and a price list based on the various stock and equipment details which Malcolm afforded me and quickly hit the road to try and establish if there was a demand. Just a few visits to local businesses on my first morning out, and a few unexpected ‘up-front’ sales, quickly made up my mind to run with it, and after securing some funding for stock and equipment from a more than generous benefactor I launched “Fog Off Covid” 10 days ago, and am now well and truly ensconced in the Fogging, Sanitizer and Sterilizer business.
The scariest thing about all of this is, that since having made the decision to jump in and run with it, the pandemic seems to have doubled or trebled in our area, and everyone is simply that much more at risk than we have been for the past three months. Not a nice scenario at all - but hopefully good for business …………. and I really do implore everyone not to take any risks, and if and where I can help in respect of Fogging of public and private spaces, or the supply of SABS approved Disinfectant Aerosol Sprays and Car Foggers, please let me know. Please also let your friends and acquaintances know, be they here in the Eastern Cape, or in Cape Town and the Western Cape where I will immediately put them in touch with Malcolm at Hazardous solutions - or simply go here: Malcolm Grant …..
