http://iwatchmonkeys.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I watch monkeys for a living! I really do.it's fun! Saturday, February 26, 2011. Ill miss you SO much! Given that I will be leaving my. Where else in the world am I likely to encounter giant walking fruit on my lunch break? I'm not entirely sure why the giant fruit were hiding under black sheets, especially seeing as it is the middle of summer in Johannesburg (usually around 30 degrees centigrade in the shade at this time of day.). The one on the left is a giant lichi, in case you're wondering. To this d...

The Man at the Pub: March 2009
http://tmatp.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
The Man at the Pub. Thursday, 19 March 2009. I hate supermarkets. I always try to be in and out of them in 10 or so minutes, list in hand, bristling with optimism and impatience. However my plans for an efficient trip with a quick getaway are inevitably thwarted. Can anybody like a supermarket? How can you like a place where when you rock up and have to park miles away because noone can see lines on asphalt these days and leave three-quarter parking spaces everywhere? Not because the eggs are. Won't be a...

Terri's Take on Terrafirma: What happened to me?
http://terrifirma.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-happened-to-me.html
Terri's Take on Terrafirma. Friday, 11 June 2010. What happened to me? I've always called myself a Proud South African and I guess today my 'gees' is based on the fact (it is now a fact) that we're pulling off a feat many people, other Saffas included, didn't think we could pull off. Dang those stadia look good and the Gautrain runs and the airports are impressive and the weather is sunshiny. It's here - I'm feeling it. We'll start a new count down at 16:00 today: counting down until this all ends an...

Terri's Take on Terrafirma: August 2009
http://terrifirma.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Terri's Take on Terrafirma. Thursday, 27 August 2009. I found myself daydreaming. Maybe it's the extra time I have on my hands now that my crazy teaching load has lifted. Maybe it's the thought of a few days out of the city. Maybe it's just spring time and thus time to contemplate the meaning of life love phds and the universe. Same day-dream. Different day. And always about driving the same spot of highway out of Joburg. Wishful thinking? Friday, 14 August 2009. The Amazing Green Race - Public Lectures.

Terri's Take on Terrafirma: November 2009
http://terrifirma.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Terri's Take on Terrafirma. Monday, 30 November 2009. Thanks to BA.com and Charlie R. For the upgrade to BA club class. On the way out from Johannesburg to London Heathrow. What a way to fly: real comfort, real sleep, real cutlery, real food, real service. I also have reason to believe that I sat in the same seat that KP. If you're an England / South African cricket fan who'll know who he is - sat in on his way out for the current series. Ooooh *faint*! No not really, he plays for the other side). When y...

Spindrifting South African seamonkey. It all comes down to hamsters in the end. So I sit here…. I am suffering a bit (a lot) with the insecurities of not having a job or a clue what will happen in the future – my future. Firstly there are very few to no jobs to actually apply for. Secondly they all want someone with a Masters. Now I have 6 years of experience that I feel is equivalent to a Masters but I think I am the only person I can convince of that. Ha. I need a kick in the pants and a “how to ...

Spindrifting South African seamonkey. It all comes down to hamsters in the end. I was 9 years old. So here are my utterly self-indulgent memories of the historical moments surrounding Madiba, that I cling to fiercely in order to remember the rare and remarkable way in which he walked through this world. To see a man walk out of jail? It befuddled me. Why would the world stop to watch a man walking out of jail? I do remember Mandela’s inauguration and speech. I think this was the first time I fe...He whos...

Thank you Madiba. | Spindrifting South African seamonkey.

Spindrifting South African seamonkey. It all comes down to hamsters in the end. This is something I wrote years ago, I think I posted it before. I never finished editing it. It is not perfect, but it is truly from the heart. Life is a sentence. Can a sentence contain a small man. Bent over a hammer. A sentence cannot bind a man. Whose roughened hands remould. The dust and gravel and blood and bones. Of a wasted, sentenced place,. A man whose tongue digs past words. In men whose words are shackles. You ar...

I watch monkeys for a living!: Life-long To-do list Item 32: Check!

I watch monkeys for a living! I really do.it's fun! Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Life-long To-do list Item 32: Check! Before I begin, I must point out that I don't. Have a Life-long To-do list. Not in the formal sense, anyway. I rather have a kinda space in my brain that holds all the stuff that looks cool to do and I'll get to later. Avid followers of my blog will remember me once writing a post. I have finally sampled the amazing flappy-purple-orb that is DRAGONFRUIT! The innards of a dragonfruit:.
