Van ek hier aangekom het, is ek al lus om iets te bak, iets besonder, liplek lekker en onvergeetlik, en verlede week het ek dit uiteindelik gedoen. Ek het vroeg al op die resep afgekom en dit gehou. Selfs ‘n vriend in Pretoria oortuig om die resep uit te toets. Met dit ingedagte het ekContinue reading “Om te bak”

The other day I danced with batman, but that’s not how the story starts. It was the day our office moved to a new location. The new office is definitely a step up, the location is better, as is the building and the office has sufficient space. For the first time in a while weContinue reading “The day I danced with batman”

It is still Thursday in Peru, so I thought I would do a #throwback to my recent trip in Vietnam It was probably the best holiday I have been on, to date, to be very honest! That’s saying something because if there is something I love it is a good holiday. Part of the charmContinue reading “Some memories of Vietnam”

At first I walked down to the beach. The idea was to watch the sunset, but toContinue reading “A place of my own”

I tried my first surfing lesson on Saturday, it was quite fun, although the beach consists of rocks and the “shop” is basically a 3×3 m canopy, so it is a bit of an adjustment. Everyone says there aren’t any sharks, but my question is “what are the sharks scared of, perhaps I should beContinue reading “Lima – first impressions”

Vandag vertrek ek op ‘n nuwe avontuur. Meer detail sal later volg….

Ek is vreeslik lief vir skoene, al dra ek nie regtig stilettos nie. Ek het gister ‘n nuwe paar skoene ontvang wat ek gekoop het, “one of a kind”, handgemaakte, plat skoene. Ek het ook deur ons hele kantoor geloop en vir al my vriendinne gaan wys hoe oulik is my skoene. Jare gelede hetContinue reading “‘n Storie in ‘n paar skoene”

My gunsteling deel van ‘n lang dag by die werk is as ek by die huis kom en die garage deur oopmaak. Dan kom daar ‘n gevaarte om die hoek soos ‘n renjaer wat ‘n handbriek draai uitvoer, en Charlie kom staan in die oprit en wag om in te klim en saam met myContinue reading “Vier Voet Verwelkomingskommitee”
