Summer has really started in SA now… I wish I was sure that it would stay for good, but I have a feeling that we’re still going to experience some winter.
At the moment the weather is fantastic, not too hot during the day, and really pleasant night temperatures. Tonight is one of those nights when I wish I could be outside, having a braai, and sipping on a glass of wine.
Instead I’m in the office working on a very urgent project. I’m not the only one here, but its not asif that makes it better. I’d much rather have been home alone even!

I’ve been craving blogging so much, and every now and again I get inspired, but then something always comes up, and I end up postponing.
I hope to be writing something decent soon, but I’ve been saying that for how long now? Life just doesn’t seem to calm down – I’m ALWAYS hectically busy with one thing or another, and whenever I get a break, I’m so tired that I just flop down on the bed and read for a while.

I’m ecstatic about the weekend, nothing much planned, but I love spending time at home

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Pity its almost bed time!!! I wanted to tell you – specially the international readers…

I still get shocked by things that happen in South Africa – even though I live here.

Someone told me today, (and you might scold me for being so naive) , but there are really people in South Africa who sell their babies. Even sell them in pieces. Why you might ask? Selling organs on the black market? Nope. They sell them to the sangoma’s (traditional healers), who use them in the muti (medicine type potions).

This is absolutely horrifying, and not something that I deal with in my culture, but this is something that is relatively common in black cultures in South Africa. Its not like all black people do this, but they at least know about it.

As for myself, I knew that the sangoma’s brew muti with body parts, but never thought that it went as far as this. Its cannibalism and just sheer insanity.

I find it revolting.

What was the name of Lucky Luke’s horse? I am 99% sure that I’m correct in saying that it was Jolly, but still people argue with me… Anyone else got any ideas?

I can still remember this cartoon’s theme song… LOL

It was definitely one of my favourites, that, along with Moomin. Loved it!

I love that song. Most SA readers will know this song, but for international visitors who would like to know what I’m on about, check the video on Youtube. I love the Parlotones and I need to buy their new album, but as I was going through my playlist this morning, I can across “Dragonflies and Astronauts” again. Such a nice song.

I’m really taken aback by the South African bands lately. Prime Circle’s latest CD is really good, and I simply LOVE it. Still Parlotones are a bit higher on my rank list – I really need to get to the shops for their latest CD.
