Wait, didn’t I already do one of these? Yes, I did do a 101 Must-Read Classic Books list, but that was before my site blew up that one time and I lost all of my posts. Alas, my original post is gone … forever lost in the vast space of the internet. Last night, however,…

It’s been a couple of months since I last did a What’s New Wednesday post. I didn’t forget, I promise, it’s just been crazy here. Usually by the time I’ve had a moment to type a blog post, Wednesday has come and gone. You didn’t miss much—everything that needs to be shared is usually shared,…

This What’s New Wednesday comes to you from the construction site I now call home, because apparently I’ve not suffered enough… *sigh* Everything’s dusty, and no amount of cleaning seems to help, but worse is the fact that I have no space to stretch my legs while the construction is happening. I’m struggling to concentrate…

It’s not winter yet, but I have my winter reading list compiled. Technically, there are four seasons in South Africa, but for me it’s either super hot or super cold with a couple of weeks of mild weather thrown into the mix.

Still, here and there—mostly in between all the packing, unpacking, moving, trying to schedule life around the constant loadshedding, and struggling to establish a working internet connection—I’ve found some cool stuff to keep me sane….
