SA Blog Awards 2009
2009 is the 5th year for the SA Blog awards and it is really growing. This year they have more and bigger sponsors and I see more and more blogs being nominated. The competition has certainly had its share of controversy, but I think lessons have been learnt and it is starting to mature into…

Goldfish & JacSharp at Spier review
I heard that Goldfish was performing at Spier this weekend, supported by JacSharp. I felt I should be there, for several reasons:I haven’t been to the Spier Amphitheatre for several years, I haven’t seen Goldfish in action for a while and I wanted to see JacSharp again after enjoying them so much at the Chevelle…

Just Add Heart – a project
A group of us decided that there is a disconnect between worthy charities and people who want to give back to society. Despite having a desire to assist and make a difference somehow, people often find it difficult to find a suitable charity with which they connect and which needs assistance. We want to introduce…

Fsh review
A while ago I reviewed Winesense in Kalk Bay. I quite enjoyed my visit but it seems they didn’t have that ‘X’ factor that separates the successful restaurants from the unsuccessful. They have closed and replaced by a restaurant called Fsh (not sure what the deal is with the name). Partly owned and run by…

Cafe Royale review
You may be surprised that I have not reviewed Royale Eatery before now, believe me, I’m as surprised. I’ve eaten at Royale many times over the years and will continue to do so. It’s become a Cape Town institution and it’s the first place that pops to mind when someone suggests burgers. There are other…

Litter bugs – one species that should become extinct
I love my beautiful city and few things enrage me more than seeing someone littering in it. These are the sorts of scenarios I see way too often: Scenario 1: You pull up at a traffic light and the person in the car in front decides that waiting for the light to change is a good…
