Physical comedy: still on point after 80. Despair: rising with forgotten faces. Farewell: deep and sore. Alida Johanna van Blommestein was a woman of strength, quirks, excess mother-love, and a strange, long-lasting fling with Spice Girl platforms. Quad-bike accidents after sixty, ice cube dining, taxi extravagance, and an unyielding passion for berry farm cheesecakes. Pietersburg 1938-10-05 — Parys 2022-06-06. Over and out. Always remembered, always loved, miss you daily, Mom.
Tracing South Africa’s electrifying history from early telegraph usage in 1860 to today’s frequent blackouts and soaring prices, it’s clear that Eskom’s in a pickle. From being the pioneer of bright ideas, like illuminating railways in 1881, to now juggling load-shedding schedules, Eskom seems to be stuck in a dark loop. Between large-scale corruption, non-payment issues, and an overburdened middle class, South Africa’s power crisis isn’t flipping the switch anytime soon.
In a time when time is literally money, here’s a quirky inch-high bottle of time, a forgotten but used-to-be-handy surfing and telephony companion, that ignites a night of dreaded listlessness. It inspires hypnotic contemplation and a startling realization: maybe this relentless hourglass has the power to pause after all!
Detours to dreams! Cancelled flights launched epic adventures. This post chronicles a pandemic pivot: trading dream destinations for the wild, confusing world of digital nomadism.

Prepare to swap reality for the realm of the unknown as you explore the cosmic vistas of Walvis Bay’s Salt Works. Think alien landscapes, balletic birds, and a backdrop that smells a bit like sulphur. It’s a mix of sci-fi fantasy and a salt shaker’s dream, complete with the unsung symphony of industrial toil. Don’t be fooled, behind the wonder and charm hides a gritty dance with nature!
In an unexpected twist of events in Swakopmund, Breakdown-turned-brunch at a gem of a coffee shop brought out the cheesecake lover in my partner, while I found solace in a fancy French breakfast. Navigating a pay-to-pee nightmare led to an impromptu photoshoot with friendly staff. Moral of the story? Bathroom troubles can sprout creativity, and always carry coins for public restrooms!
When life gives you grounded flights, you turn it into a DIY-adventure at a backpacker’s lodge in East London. Between wrestling with feisty toilet brushes and sipping seaside wines, we built lasting connections, grasping breadmaking, fresh seafood-cooking, and coding between sunshine bathings.
