Domino’s interfering neighbour

You promised that you were back, Sjarlene, I hear you say. And then you no sooner started back, or you skipped a week again. Oh, my. Guys. I have had challenges. Very big ones. The past came knocking and would not go away, so I had to open the door and deal with issues I […]

Oh! That House

Three years ago, when our journey started, Colin and I set out to build OUR house. What do you have in mind, Colin asked. Now, that coming from Colin is a bit of a loaded question. Like really? How am I supposed to know what can be built on an impossible mountain erf with no […]

Holding Out for a Hero

It took Shrek 2, the movie, to remind us of Bonnie Tyler. Remind me, who was she, you ask? She was that buxom blond bomb with the husky voice that gave us songs like It’s a Heartache and Total Eclipse of the Heart, and that song that so resonates with me right now: Holding out […]

John Denver sang: Take me home, Country Roads. Simon Garfunkel sang: Homeward Bound. Michael Bublé gave us I Wanna Go Home. Andrea Bocelli was responsible for Time to Say Goodbye. There is a very long list of songs that deal with going home, then there are those who do not know whether they are coming […]

I am quite amused at the latest trend in Canada. They have woken up to “Buy Canadian: Keep it local,” amid the Trade War threats from You-Know-Who and his First Buddy, they are now demanding from their retailers to promote local products. In South Africa, buying local was the way things worked. Lately however, there […]

In 1933, Gene Autry and Jimmy Long released the song: The Yellow Rose of Texas. In this song, the Rose represents Strength, Resilience, and a whole lot of Courage. The song tells the tale of Emily Morgan, who was the slave of a Texan commander. Johnny Lee and Lane Brody revived the song in 1984, […]

After the Cape Crawl I wrote last week, I decided to put my money where my mouth is. To walk the talk. I abandoned all and any ideas of a head band and made an appointment with the hairdresser. Nice and early, her first appointment, so I could get in and out, and still have […]

We are all familiar with the term: Midlife Crisis. It is supposed to be that period of transition in life where a person struggles with their identity. A friend of mine once summed it up so well. She had quite a dry sense of humour. Her portly, balding neighbour one day arrived home with a […]

Five Words

One Love. One Heart. Let’s get together and feel all right. That great anthem to hope that is unifying in bringing together people from all levels of society, to change for the better, and overcome life’s obstacles. My source tells me that it is an empowering, optimistic view held by Bob Marley, carried throughout much […]

Cooking & Cookbooks

1 Comment
| Kuier, Small Towns

I believe the first recorded recipe book dates to 1700BC. It was discovered in Mesopotamia and consisted of four clay tablets. By 1300AD, recipe books were the norm for royalty and nobles. The 1390 publication of Forme of Cury (the Rules of Cookery) was published for King Richard II. Now, my source is not all […]
