Crawling is the Journey
The number three. If you were to ask Aunty Google about this number, she will tell you that three is a natural number that comes after two, and before four. I sometimes wonder if some clever person out there is getting paid for telling us things that we all know. Really. It comes after two? […]
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. This quote by Shakespeare (who I will get back to later, that being Shakespeare, not the quote), apparently has important meaning which applies to everyday life of all humans. The quote translates into a name is just a label to distinguish one thing from another […]
Colin and I came across a display of cool drink bottles in a shop in dusty little Caledon. And yes, it became a Kodak moment. O, I just have to get a photo of this, Colin said. The drinks on display is a “generic” version of the real thing, but it made me think, of […]
In saying the writing is on the wall, the person would usually indicate that there are clear signs that a situation is going to become very difficult or unpleasant, or that it could even no longer exist. Writing on the wall is not good. You do not want to be told the writing is on […]

The play is about the damaging physical and phycological effects that political ambition can have on those that seek power. Now, that does […]
I have a couple of Soap Boxes. I suppose we all have. Some of my Soap Boxes are I do not buy “made in PRC”, which is China in disguise. I also do not support American brands, unless I have an unsatiable urge for a McFlurry – we are all allowed a small double standard […]
The title of this post, is the opening lines of the film: Out of Africa. The film starred a rather young Meryl Streep (who has turned into a noble vintage with age) and Robert Redford, (who should have stayed forever young, and is now only to be used in Gluhwein.) She was speaking about The […]
Go on. Indulge me, It is a long time since I started a Cape Crawl with a reference to a song. Pink Floyd recorded the song: Another Brick in the Wall. The song was released in 1980. And at the time, the South African government, felt that our sensitive natures could be offended by the […]
