With bleary eyes, hands that turned into claws about 28 hours ago, a back that’s about to break (if it hasn’t fallen off the rest of me yet) and more cuts, blood blisters and normal blisters, our house is not yet a home… Ikea scored big time on the Sjolund/Moolman shopping spree yesterday, with us … Continue reading »

For our move we rented a super big van with which we’re going to ikea to fetch all the furniture with tomorrow. Because of John’s age (hie hie hie!), it’s cheaper for me to rent the van – as I’m over 25. So I filled in all the forms and gave them my credit card … Continue reading »

When I placed my order at Subway Sandwiches today, I asked the guy to include ghurkin. ‘Sorry?’, he said. ‘I’d like some ghurkin, please’, I said in my most non-British-South African accent. ‘A what??’, he said, heading for the olives. ‘GHURKIN, I want some bloody ghurkin on my sandwich!’, I said while pointing wildly through … Continue reading »

Well done to Atmosphere for winning 4 PRISA Prism Awards on Tuesday night! Julie’s team grabbed a gold for HBD’s campaign (you biscuits!), we got a silver on MWEB and two bronze ones for Sable Square and Media 24 Digital (Yay Don!!). Just proves the general theory that Atmosphere is indeed the shit-hottest PR agency … Continue reading »

On Tuesday night were meeting up with Bree & Will (of Kidd Rock sighting evening) and arrived slightly earlier than them. Being very cool New Yorkers by now, we decided to pick a spot to meet in the discussed area and text them our whereabouts. First venue was closed for a private function and we … Continue reading »

And I have tried pretty much every avenue – Woolies, Mr Price, Temptations, La Senza – even the odd Ackermans special. But no luck. … Continue reading »

It was a beautiful day out today and John and I decided to walk across Brooklyn Bridge. It’s this HUGE structure connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn and while images in your head might be of two lovely tourists, strolling hand in hand across the bridge, the reality is somewhat different! Loads of camera-wielding tourists, free-wheeling cyclists … Continue reading »

The snow has melted, but I just found some more pics taken last weekend in the worst snow storm of the season that I though I’d share with you. (This was the boot-ruination, by the way…)The next day:

The problem with walking down the streets in New York is that you could pretty much be walking past any known celebrity, without ever realising it. They look just like us, and in this weather, most of us are wrapped up in big baggy coats, scarves and hats, so even if you had fake boobs, … Continue reading »

My hair’s been in desperate need of a good trim for some time now, so when I spotted the 1000th split end against my black sweater yesterday, I decided that enough was indeed enough. It was time for some scissor action! Not easy to find a new hairdresser (as we all know), especially when you’ve … Continue reading »
