I came across this the other day, on Amanda Sevasti’s blog. A post listing a few short differences between Jozi and Cape Town drivers. One of the points that struck me:

“Traffic circles: I keep getting hooted at when I go through traffic circles. Why? Joburg drivers treat them as 4-way stops. The concept of “Yield to the right” has not [...]

So I may have mentioned a while back (probably on Twitter) that my Kid asked me – in the shower one day – where my willy was. You know, because we’d done the whole learn the parts of your body by naming them thing, and now he was progressing towards asking what each body part does/is for.  You can’t really [...]

This is like that, only better.  Way fucking better.
There were a few things that I was surprised about, i.e: being a finalist, and not even having nominated myself and sent out a million e-mails/tweets/written a bajillion blogposts pestering people to nominate me for the SA Blog Awards, like I’ve done in years gone by. To be honest, I was too [...]

Nine months into the year, and I’m finally starting to pull finger and get shiz done. Attempting this grown-up do things responsibly and timeously thing. Trying not to let everything overwhelm me all at once, by breaking it down, yo.

I see it as a process of growth, this trusting someone new, until they fuck me over. The trust starts out small, and the longer [...]

Towards the end of the year we plan to put our house up for sale.
As to whether it’s because of this, I refuse to comment.

Remember a few days ago I blogged about the new credit card for women, from Standard Bank? The MyCard…
I’d like to take a second to tell you a little more about it, if you dont mind, but before I do, here’s a reminder about the competitions:
Let’s celebrate you for being you:

1. Vodka in my sippy cup. When I get home from work, The Kid, The Boyfriend (he drives, while I drink) and I head to the park. I have my smokes in my back pocket and a sippy cup (borrowed from The Kid) filled with vodka and cranberry juice. I get to sit on the grass and watch my Kid [...]
