A whale died and had to be removed from Strand beach. (They put it on the back of a truck and cop cars followed it.)
People in other countries: 😞😢
South Africans:
If the president is only addressing us tonight it’s because they are truly trying to be as thorough as possible. I’m feeling negative about a lot of things but our presidency is not one of them.
This weekend I went for a hike and offered to take a photo of a group of young women. After I handed the phone back, one of them said "Dankie, Tannie" and I almost threw myself off the mountain.
I just went to the dentist and found out I need another root canal. I phone my parents in the car afterwards and joke about having dodgy teeth genes.
My dad: “Dis jou ma se gene daai. Sy het Checkers tandjies. Ek het Woolworths tande.”
😂😂
I just remembered that a chameleon is a “verkleurmannetjie” in Afrikaans. 😂 This is almost as great as “tuinslang” (hose) and “spookasem” (candy floss).
When my husband hears that I have to wash my hair, he knows he will have enough time to read the Lord of The Rings trilogy, finish a PhD and walk to Joburg and back before I’m done.
Last night we arrived at our holiday rental in the Garden Route. I slept in fleece pyjamas under a duvet and blanket.
It’s the middle of December.
Has 2021 not taken enough of us already? 😭
Welcome to introvert heaven.
It’s Saturday night, I’m wearing my comfiest sweatpants and there’s a new season of Selling The OC. I’m about to order food and my dog is lying on the couch next to me.
Life is good.
I was worried the entire day that my pink satin dress looked like a night gown.
Colleagues: You look great!
Strangers in the street: Wow, lovely dress!
(Goes home)
JP: Hello, pink nightie!
I just showed my gran, who is 89, my outfit for an event tomorrow and said that I feel skaam to wear a crop top. She scoffed and said, “My kind, ek het baie meer vel as jy gewys in my dag. Dra jou toppie!” 😂
I will never get over the fact that a rescue dog can be so open to love after suffering abuse. My dog not only allows you to kiss her face, she also gives these little sighs because she enjoys it so much 😭
Sometimes a random name from my school days pops into my head, and I have to leave everything I'm doing to check their social media to see what they look like now.
