Would someone please explain to me...

How is it feasible to obtain or renew your firearm license online? I mean surely getting permission from the government to own and use a firearm in South Africa requires you to have some kind of eyesight and fingerprint test, or maybe aim at something and hit it, to prove you are actually going to be safe to walk around in public?

If anyone knows how this works, please fill me in, because I am struggling to put this together in my head.

Back on the radar

As you may have noticed I have dropped off the blogging radar for the last month. I've had a rather manic few weeks since getting back from my Christmas holidays. I have mostly been completely snowed under at work, but had something of an antidote snowboarding for a week in Switzerland, which helped immensely.

We thankfully had a load of snow shortly after I arrived, or it would have been a hiking holiday. As it was we had some good powder and great riding at a small resort called Les Marecottes, on the train line between Martigny and Chamonix. Europe, for those who are unaware, has experienced one of the worst winter sports seasons in years due to an unusually warm winter (which the greenies blame on climate change/global warming).

You can see the photos from my trip here.
