Personal Recession

A little while ago I posted about money being tight. This past month it has only gotten worse! Our electricity suddenly DOUBLED! From R250.00 a month to R500.00! The only explanation we could find is that we bought an eleven fin oil heater for Babyice’s room to keep it warm since it gets terribly cold [...]

Gym fail, etc.

Vocabulary

I’ve been a terrible blogger. What’s even more terrible is that each blog post starts with an excuse about how long it has been since the last blog post. My colleague keeps complaining that my blog is standing still and she has nothing to read when she gets bored at work. Tsk. I’m recovering from [...]
