Hive PUD - Tend the Seeds!

The Merry Month of May that we were hoping for, did not materialize, as we once again faced flooding and mudslides in our Ethekwini Metro, a mere five weeks after that devastating night in April.

The experts call these storms 200-year floods, the worst flooding in living memory here in our region!

Life once again came to a standstill, as many more roads collapsed, and stores and businesses closed as staff could not get to their workplace. A large vehicle manufacturer will likely lose as many as 45 000 units still in production!

Many companies have laid off staff while temporary staff simply do not get paid, so the economic effect is being felt in many sectors and households.

Personally, although we suffered no real damage to our property, my BnB calendar for the month of June is looking rather empty, but I know from experience ever since the mismanagement of Covid with lockdowns, how the BnB scenario changed. Leisure guests are still afraid to plan ahead, especially now after the storms, but we are still hosting more business guests, many of who book at the last minute as they wait for the go-ahead of projects, so by month-end, the calendar will be filled to the brim again!

Our insurance this time came to the party, and paid for booking cancelations as well as for our fence that is slightly leaning into the property of the neighbour below us, who still blames our water for running downhill to his property!

Ever heard of water running uphill?
He cannot understand that he needs to make provision for stormwater, as we have done; if it were not for that, his property would have suffered much damage!

What does this all have to do with Hive Power Up Day?

It is vital that we plan ahead and try to HODL as much as we can, for that rainy day, and the best way to do this is by powering up!

While all the madness was going on here in our neck of the woods, Hive still kept on ticking over with its ups and downs, but never came to a standstill, and helped fill many budgetary gaps; something the outside world still cannot grasp!

So continue planting your seeds here, while the rest of us will keep bizzy with pollination, a very necessary job for growth.

Just as the farmer cannot expect his crop to grow if he lazes around all day long, just so do we need to tend our seeds here on Hive to see them thrive; so power up today and every month thereafter and you will be amazed!

The awesome Queen Bee of Hive, @traciyork keeps tabs on the many Hive PUD initiatives by generous Hivers and you can read all about the prizes offered by the most amazing people for Hive power up day for June 1st 2022.

@hivebuzz is behind those Awesome badges and you can see from the size of my badges just how RL issues have been affecting me,!

I am happy to say that I was able to power up 200 HP this month, and really hope that no more calamities take place as I am determined to keep on growing my account!

Hive PUD is a win-win initiative for everyone here on Hive!
