Eight books, seven of them various kinds of great (I have ambitions of becoming Mrs Gooch), and one absolute dud stalled out on the starting grid. Please let me know if you can recommend a really good F1 novel. Murder Like Clockwork by Nicola Whyte is a clever,...
CHARGE Electric Vehicle Charging: Solar-Powered Road Trips Arrive on the N3
There is something very South African about a good road trip. The snack stop. The padstal coffee. The quick stretch. The debate over whether Harrismith is “almost there” or absolutely not. For years, the Johannesburg-to-Durban route has been powered by petrol pumps,...
Nine Yards Rosebank: Joburg’s New Green Town Square Has Arrived
Johannesburg has plenty of places to shop, eat and grab coffee. But every now and then, something comes along that feels less like a development and more like a fresh chapter in the city’s personality. That is exactly what makes Nine Yards Rosebank so exciting. Set on...
April Netgalley Reviews
It's been a busy month of post-op rehab and getting back to work, but I've got some books you should check out. Even a cheeky romance, which isn't really my vibe, but I was pleasantly surprised by. Spies, Lies, and Alibis by Natalie Walters is the kind of romantic...

Why ask why?

Why ask why?

Just got home from a day of errands and bonding: got the tyres and bulbs for my car, and went to a creative/craft expo with my mom on the other side of Johannesburg - she doesn't do driving in Jhb. After that I took her to see my new place, picked up my migraine meds,...

Happy birthday to two phenomenal women

Happy birthday to two phenomenal women
