Rondavel: August 2009
http://rondavel.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Friday, 21 August 2009. My in-laws and other animals. The books, but she is certainly all over them. My husband says he is a panda. Panda? Was my shocked response. Of all the animals in the world, why a panda? Because they are mystical, endangered and extremely good looking, came his cool reply. After a bit of research on Wikipedia. I am avoiding myself, and my family, which is a tale for another rainy day. Which in Scotland might be later this afternoon. A rond...

Rondavel: May 2008
http://rondavel.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Tuesday, 6 May 2008. We have been to Paris. I would like to roughly paraphrase Descartes:. I have been to Paris, therefore I think, therefore I am.'. A few most refreshing things about Paris are the following:. 1 An endless supply of outstanding quality croissants for breakfast, in a pretty standard hotel. 2 The almost total lack of Amreican shops and influences on the high streets. 3 The absence of yobbos. 4 How incredibly chic everybody was.

Rondavel: September 2009

Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Monday, 28 September 2009. Anybody who's ever had to move from a third-world country to a first-world country will say the same thing: you get treated like a second-class citizen. I'm trying to write this with not too much bitterness, because in the end I'm grateful that we have the opportunity to be able to live here, and raise our son here. That's the official line. Slap in the face. Why don't you just go back to South Africa? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rondavel: February 2008
http://rondavel.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Sunday, 17 February 2008. Fife continues to be fascinating. It is a peculiar place, to say the least, and I decided to do some digging into its history. This is where Fife is situated. In 1975, when all the Scottish counties were abolished for administrative purposes. Fifers, in their straightforward yet determined way, insisted on staying a kingdom. We have no king, but kingdom it is. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A rondavel is a traditional African-style house.

Rondavel: Things I am thankful for
http://rondavel.blogspot.com/2009/10/things-i-am-thankful-for.html
Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Friday, 16 October 2009. Things I am thankful for. I am thankful for PS22 Chorus. Who sings with such freedom and enthusiasm, and that there are still inspiring music teachers hidden in the state school system. I am thankful for my son's laughter which makes me happy beyond belief. I am grateful that motherhood is like a shoe made from real leather; something that you worm your way into slowly, until it fits, even though the process is sometimes painful.

Rondavel: October 2007

Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Monday, 15 October 2007. Aboot the boot: Rugby World Cup 2007. Confession time: we don't watch rugby, cricket, or golf. We don't have a tv, and just cannae be bothered.except this year. We are bothered. I am mostly kept informed by my colleagues, in retrospect, of developments in these sporting multiverses. It usually goes like this:. I arrive at school in the morning and bump into Colleague 1. Eh,' I respond. What did you think of the game last night? These are...

Rondavel: July 2009
http://rondavel.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Snippets from a South African in Scotland. Monday, 27 July 2009. We live about ten minutes away from Loch Leven. It ranks high among my favourite places in Scotland, and the more time I spend cycling, driving or walking around it, the more I'm drawn in by its compelling beauty. Loch Leven has something for every taste and interest. We love cycling and the recently opened Loch Leven Heritage Trail. Labels: Hooses and places. Wednesday, 15 July 2009. Since my last post, a few things have happened. As a Sou...
