A running tap can use 20 litres of water per minute. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, shaving and washing dishes. If you spend 2 minutes each bay brushing your teeth (1.2 kilolitres) per month. This amounts to 4 800 litres (4.8 kilolitres) for a family of four. Reduce your consumption to only a fraction of this by switching off the tap!

Pets Need DENTAL CARE Too!!

Pets have teeth and since we have

domesticated them and some of the normal cleansing “mechanisms” are no longer in the diets we feed, dental / oral disease has become the most prevalent disease in pets.

As the age increases so does the prevalence of oral disease.

A

t a facility dealing with dental and oral care only, the prevalence of oral disease in young cats was found to be about 25%. At other facilities the prevalence was shown to exceed 75% in dogs older than 14 years. Home dental and oral care is therefore essential.

Signs of dental / oral disease include: Bad breath (halitosis), wiping or rubbing the face against objects, bleeding and loose teeth. Bad breath is caused by a number of conditions – obviously the easiest to eliminate is the habit of eating the faeces of other animals licking under the tail. Certain diseases also lead to bad breath and these include kidney disease.

Bleeding may be due to gum inflammation, broken teeth, displaced teeth and causes bacterial to enter the blood stream with spread of potential infection causing bacteria to some of the organs. Every time the pet eats or grooms itself leading to bleeding, bacteria enter the blood stream. This chronic bacterial infection can lead to debilitation of the animal. The cause of the bleeding needs to be investigated and eliminated.

Routine scale and polish procedures to clean the teeth and remove calculus and plaque, are performed under general anaesthesia. This protects the animal’s airways from the bacteria laden aerosol formed during the scaling procedure. It also keeps the animals still for a thorough examination and enabling the work to be carried out safely and as quickly as possible. “Anaesthesia-free” dental treatment is not permitted and in some countries considered unprofessional.

Different practices will have different pricing for pet dentistry – make sure that those who provide a cheaper estimate will in fact take the same level of care and proficiency as those that cost a little more.

Once the teeth have been professionally cleaned, dental home-care is essential. This usually takes the form of: tooth brushing using an appropriate tooth brush and pet tooth paste; tooth friendly diet; tooth friendly toys; tooth friendly treats. An oral rinse can also be used to lower the number of plaque bacteria in the mouth.

At Cape Animal Dentistry Service, the examinations and procedures are performed by a Specialist Veterinary Dentist, who after undergoing training and meeting the credentials requirements of the European Veterinary Dental College, became a Diplomate of the EVDC. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art digital dental radiography, dental surgery unit and other equipment required to perform: root canal therapy, Orthodontics, dental crowns, fillings and oral surgery.

Guacamole Avocado Dip

This dip is one of my absolute favourites and it’s so easy to make.

According to Wikipedia Guacamole was first created by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico and the name comes from an Aztec dialect where āhuacatl means Avocado and molli means sauce or concoction – together āhuacamolli [aːwakaˈmolːi].

Rodgers Fruiterers We promote a holistic lifestyle that is good pure, and absolutely affordable.

It is widely used in the modern Mexican and American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient. It is also widely used in my kitchen in Fish Hoek and devoured in large quantities.

My personal recipe only includes garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin (very important for that original taste), chopped tomato and salt & pepper – but the recipe below comes from California and has won prizes, so try it out ( I am sure the lime juice can be replaced with lemon juice).

021 782 0219 16 Kommetjie rd (opp NG Kerk)

Ingredients:

2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded and peeled 1 ½ limes, juice only 1 medium tomato, chopped ½ medium white onion, chopped fine 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper ¼ tsp. salt 1 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1/8 tsp. cumin 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper As needed Pinch sugar ½ serrano chile, chopped fine ½ bunch cilantro, chopped

Mash the avocadoes after peeling and add the other ingredients.

Serve immediately with Tortilla chips, salad or simply have on toast.

Enjoy the avo season.

COPING WITH OUR COASTAL WINDS Gardening experts across the Peninsula offer tips on how to cope with wind.

Discover how to choose the right plants and build successful windbreaks.

Wind can be very damaging to plants, drying out foliage and stunting the growth of shrubs and trees.

Wind can also damage plants by breaking their stems or branches or whipping away flowers and fruit. Strong salt and sand laden wind scorches leaves. A windbreak creates what is essentially a micro-environment in your garden.

Types of windbreaks

Windbreaks can be constructed or natural.

Constructed windbreaks may be permanent, like perimeter fencing, a gate or trellis, or the windbreak may provide temporary protection for young plants.

Constructed windbreaks can be used in conjunction with natural barriers like trees and shrubs. Before you can create a windbreak, you need to know the direction of the prevailing winds. The south-easter blows from around August through to February and the north-westerly blows in winter.

Correct placement

It is advisable to do a through site analysis. Factors such as existing buildings, walls and trees will influence your decision. Look at your neighbours property. You should also consider the shade aspect of a windbreak as you may find it creates more shade than you want. Remember the winter sun is lower. The narrow areas between boundary walls and houses can become a ‘wind tunnel’, where the wind is trapped and accelerates, so this would be an obvious position for a windbreak. In terms of placement, also consider your view. If trees and shrubs grow too high, they will obstruct it.

Constructed windbreaks

The best constructed windbreaks are semipermeable, such as trellis, picket fencing, breeze blocks and palisade, as these break the force of the wind. High solid walls create turbulence and often a vortex, which causes damage to plants growing in the ‘shadow’ of the wall.

Young trees and shrubs need support to give them a chance to develop a strong root system. Shade cloth can be used to provide a temporary windbreak.

Build a temporary windbreak for an individual plant using shade cloth (20-30 percent weave) and gum poles. Place the windbreak in a V-shape around the plant; the middle pole should face the direction of the strongest wind. The shade cloth must be pulled tight across them and properly secured.

Natural windbreaks

Using plants to create a windbreak is both practical, affordable and looks good in the garden. Many of our local dune or coastal shrubs make excellent hardy windbreak subjects.

Establishing a natural windbreak.

When selecting plants for your windbreak consider their size. Bigger, more established plants will provide a immediate effect in blocking the wind.

Planting the trees in a row and allowing them to grow close, forming a hedge, would be the best solution to the wind problem. The minimum spacing for trees or shrubs that grow to a height that can block the wind is 1m apart. Remember to stake all new plants. Strong winds can loosen the root ball, preventing the plant from becoming properly established.

How to make a decision about fixing your interest rate Are you thinking of fixing the interest rate on 111.73 over the lifetime of your loan. If the interest your home loan? Here are five helpful insights to rate increases by just 0.25 points to 10.75%, your help you decide. monthly repayments will be R10 152.29, and you will pay back R2 436 549.49 over the 20-year term.

Like most home owners, you probably breathed a huge sigh of relief when you heard the announcement from the Monetary Policy Committee that the prime interest rate would remain unchanged.

If you are one of the many people who have had to tighten their belts as their home loan repayments increased over the last year, fixing your interest rate at the bank may sound like a good idea.

Kay Geldenhuys, manager of property finance processing at ooba, highlights these points to help you make the decision:

1

A small change in the interest rate can mean big additional costs for you

If you are paying off a R1 million house over 20 years at a 10.5% interest rate, you will pay R9 983.80 per month, and a total payment of R2 396

“That’s a difference of R40 437.76 – a significant amount of money from such a small shift,” says Geldenhuys. “It’s worth thinking about what you can do to protect yourself against these changes.”

2

It costs you money to fix your interest rate

“Banks hedge their own risk of the interest rate going up by only allowing you to fix your rate at a rate higher than the one you are currently paying,” explains Geldenhuys.

So if you are paying your bond repayments at an interest rate of 10.5%, your bank might only allow you to fix that rate at 11% or even 11.5%. This means that you will already be subject to some of the potential future increases you are trying to protect yourself against.

You won’t be able to fix your interest rate forever

Most banks limit the fixing of the interest rate to a specific term. This means that you can protect yourself against fluctuations in the short term – usually between one to five years – but at the end of that term, you will have to renegotiate your rate.

“This means that you might lose out on incremental growth and adjustment over time, and have to pay significantly more each month at the end of the term,” says Geldenhuys. “But you can guard against this by watching the interest rate fluctuations so that you are aware of what might happen.”

Fixing your interest rate allows you to plan your finances

The one benefit that fixing your interest rate does guarantee is that it allows you to plan your finances around a fixed cost. “With so many other costs spiralling out of control, it can be reassuring to know that one of your biggest expenses isn’t going to change,” says Geldenhuys.

To fix or not to fix?

While many analysts will offer their opinion on whether the interest rate is likely to increase, remain unchanged or decrease, nobody can really tell.

The Monetary Policy Committee has to weigh up a variety of factors when addressing this issue, and many of these factors change between each announcement.

Because it’s impossible to predict the interest rate’s future behavior, the decision to fix your home loan rate must be made for personal reasons. Simply put, is it better to pay a little extra to be able to plan around a specific rate for a one to five year term, or is it better to continue to ride the fluctuations?

“Deciding what to do can be tricky. But, whatever you do, make sure that you make a decision that is in line with your personal goals. Did you buy the property as an investment over the long-term, or are you looking to sell in the short-term? The answers to these questions will help you decide on whether you should indeed fix your interest rate,” concludes Geldenhuys.

i n n g a e l C Tips r Ca

It’s an amazing psychological fact that a clean car seems to perform better than a dirty one.

Many workshops believe this, because they often clean your car a lot better than the way they service it.

Doing it at home is still the best, but you have to make sure the person doing the cleaning uses the correct materials and knows what to do as well as what not to do. Taking your car to an automatic roller cleaning machine has the disadvantage that those brushes tend to damage the paintwork, unless they’re replaced regularly.

Cleaning the exterior:

Only wash the car when it’s cool, or else at least when it’s in the shade. Modern paints tend to develop spots from the interaction of water and sunlight.

Do not use soap or even dishwashing fluid, because it may cause the paint to deteriorate quicker. Use a detergent specially formulated for modern car paint. Various brands are available from service station shops.

Start at the top and work downwards, otherwise dirty water will flow over newly-cleaned areas.

Finally, apply a good quality car polish, followed by a wax or silicone protection, to act as a barrier against the damage caused by dirt and sunshine.

A car that has been cleaned and polished will stay that way a lot longer if it is looked after. In fact, if the above procedure has been followed, your car may only need a good polish once a year, with perhaps a wax application every three months.

To achieve this, you should inspect the paintwork frequently, and remove bird droppings, tree sap and other contaminants as soon as possible. Park it under cover whenever possible, because harsh sunlight affects the colour as well as the protective properties of paint.

Surfaces that are more exposed to road dirt, such as lower parts of the body, should get an extra layer of wax. Steel wheels are not a problem, but aluminium wheels are very difficult

to keep clean or even to clean. They’re usually coated with a clear varnish, so care has to taken not to break down the coating. This means that scouring pads or wire brushes should not be used, and even special wheel cleaning fluids should be tested on a small patch on the inside of the wheel to make sure that it’s safe to use.

Cleaning the interior: Most of the interior surfaces, such as plastic, vinyl, leather, wood or carpeting, should be wiped with wet cloth, and then treated with a cleaning and conditioning fluid specially suited to the particular material. Visit a car-care shop and read the labels on the various products in detail to find out what is suitable.

Window care: The best way to clean a windscreen is with a good windscreen washing fluid, but a 50:50 mixture of water and methylated spirits will also do the job. Windscreens mark very easily, so that care must be taken to avoid scratches from dirty wipers or road dirt and small stones.
