I’d heard about the Ethical Co-op a couple of years ago, and had thought their idea, of acting as an intermediary between small-scale local farmers and residents who are looking for organic and biodynamic produce, was absolutely brilliant. This week, I took the plunge and placed my first order with them.
It is not easy to walk around with Flat Kathy.
For all strangers, or rather, people whom Flat Kathy hasn’t yet demanded I introduce her to, she is simply a sheet of sunshine yellow paper on a stick. With a couple of buttons and some woolly hair sewn on. She is, I freely admit it, “a bit odd”.
The quaint little village of Darling, more or less an hour’s drive north of Cape Town off the R27, and midway between Yzerfontein and Malmesbury, is the home of South Africa’s most famous White lady: Evita Bezuidenhout. She lives and performs at a most unusual theatrical venue: Darling’s old railway station, which has been lovingly…
In September, Lisa at Notes from Africa started a new series on her wonderful blog, called “Caption This” (Gallery of Winning Captions). She posts a photo of animals in the bush, and you have a week or two to come up with a humorous caption: “When you spend time watching animals and birds in the…

Don’t sweat the petty things, and don’t pet the sweaty things. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where’s the self-help section?” She said if she…

A friend sent me this amusing (and probably fictional) story about a very clever mother-in-law: ————- Brian invited his mother over for dinner.
