Ek het al drie tarentale in ons Parkwood kompleks se tuin gesien. Twee grotes en ‘n kleintjie. Vanoggend is ek egter verras deur die groepie wat voor ons woonstel verby jaag. Daar was maklik 15 tarentale en een deurmekaar hoender wat gedink het hy is ‘n tarentaal. Verbeel julle! In die hartjie van Johannesburg. …

Using an innocent, lonely 12-year old girl called Eli as your villain is a stroke of genius. It mixes up the vampire genre, but more importantly sets the stage for an emotionally and ethically complex film. ‘Let the Right One in’ thus rises above the horror genre and becomes much more than avampire flick. .
I have seen many great films over the last few years. Some one-liners and plot twists have faded from memory, while some scenes and characters are still as clear as day. ‘After the Wedding’ will be a film that is utterly impossible to forget.
Dit is in die Pick n Pay waar ek haar raakloop. Daar is niemand agter haar in die tou nie en ons wil almal die 5uur verkeer mis. Ek sit my organiese worteltjies neer. My R10 is reg. Eers toe kom ek agter al haar kruideniersware is reeds opgelui. Sy en die kassier wag vir …
Our carrots survived our ten day absence. So did the lemon basil, beetroot, strawberries and Cape Gooseberry. I am afraid that our two tomato orphans are looking somewhat frail. The one has a strange white fur growing on the stem, the other is a bit floppy and its joints are swollen. Hmm, I am consulting …

To be posted as soon as my sinus clears up. Screen is hurting my eyes.
…should have been a review of the Cape Town Natural and Organics Fair. It might be one day late, but I am still reading all the pamphlets. Watch this space. Right, a few cool things I picked up: 1. The Cape Town Green Map. A fold out map listing the parks/gardens …

A valentines dinner of lightly smoked Snoek, roast unions and butternut and fresh salad at dusk, on the borrowed balcony in a wind still Vredehoek overlooking Cape Town.

In the meanwhile have a look at the pics …
My vrou (en Ed die boer) kan Cassandra Wilson se musiek nie verdra nie. Ek (en Bertus die dominee) voel anders oor die Amerikaner. Dus luister ek my ‘Glamoured’ CD net wanneer ek die huis vir myself het. ‘Glamoured’ bevat van Cassandra se eie komposisies, maar ook Sting, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson en Mudday Waters covers. En …
Terwyl die gaste eet, hardloop die gillende kleuter weg in haar Tinkerbell kouse, met kom-vang-my-armpies in die lig en jaag ek haar oor die blokkiesvloere van die gang, verby twee plastiese skopfietse en om die glas koffietafel in die sitkamer.
George Clooney’s charm is undeniable. I went against my organic, fair trade and recycling principles to buy a darn Nespresso machine because he is the ‘Nespresso guy’. There is just no resisting him as Mr. Fox, a chicken thief gone ‘straight’ in this stop-motion animation film.
Vandag is ‘n goeie dag vir baie redes. Een, my vrou het onverwags vroeg huis toe gekom. Daar was genoeg tyd vir ‘n organiese espresso en ‘pecan nut pie’. Twee, ons tamatie saailinge het hulle tweede blaartjies en ons aangenome tamatieplant se eerste twee tamaties is aan die rooi word. Drie, my …
Vanaand drink ons ‘n 2007 Landskroon Cabernet Sauvignon. Dit is gewoonlik ‘n 4Ster John Platter wyn. Behalwe vir die 2007 wat ‘afgemerk’ is na ‘n 3.5Ster. Platter sê “Ripe, dark berry & tobacco nuance in heartwarming 07 (3.5Ster). Flavoursome & approachable, shade sofer than 06.” Landskroon sê “STYLE: Full-bodied with ripe mulberry fruit …
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe1sbr8H5zc Ag, the link above no longer works, because the Grammy organisers are going around harassaing everyone who uploads Grammy clips! Try the following link instead. The sound and visuals are not as great, but what can one do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlOvfUTHfxY
There is only one advantage to having food poisoning. You are so horribly ill you can do nothing but watch movies. Yeah!
