It would've been the birthday of JM Barrie today. And since he brought us the tale of never growing up, I've decided today is also the day to forget adulting and play with Iris instead. #PeterPan #WednesdayWisdom
Negative of a new friend living between my pillow, and my makeup box. This little rhino beetle has been aptly christened Hungry Kafka (since, apparently, they never eat a thing).
Me being crunched and swallowed by 99 problems. So. How's your morning going?
When I was a kid, one of my favourite pastimes was 'reading' stories to our Corgi, Lemmy. Now that I've got a child, it's amazing to see how the cycle repeats itself. Rain is now getting a toddler's rendition of Terry Pratchett.
I will never ever forget this day. My mom cried in the car when the news of #ChrisHani’s murder was announced on the radio. She kept saying: “a good man has died today”. #RIPChrisHani x.com/enca/status/98…
#ChrisHani - ANC veteran and Chris Hani's friend, Tokyo Sexwale, was first on the scene of the SACP leader's assassination. Here is what he told the media on 10 April 1993. Courtesy #DStv403
Currently reading. One of my first impressions is that this is an agonizing read for any smoker. Imagine being a prisoner, finishing your last cigarette, desperately pacing your cell, tapping your withdrawals out onto the walls... and being unable to acquire more tobacco. Hell.
I TELL YOU WE MUST DIE Mit Brecht 6 Show me the way to the next whisky bar The dialectics of forest, sea and supermarket. Enough books around to make one wonder if the world really needs one more. Note to younger self; “Write kakker books.” Happy Wednesday
Little flood in front of our door this morning. For once, it wasn't because of me crying over a Russian novel or photos of puppies on the internet.
With the sudden rise of mushrooms popping up in odd locations across the CBD, it might be wise to remember that "1. All fungi are edible. 2. Some fungi are a edible only once." - #TerryPratchett
Jacques Brel's was born on this day in 1929. He died in October 1978. I heard this song sung in English by Bowie on a B-side, long long long ago... youtu.be/11PIXoqJvcY
@Kelbawhom @TheCut This has been on my 'to read' list for AGES. I think it just got bumped up a few notches. The moment I finish Arthur Koestler, I'll give it a go.
A friend sent us this a little while ago, and it made the day of these dusty, old druids.
Been marking and packing away so many books today, that I feel driven to drink. Sounds wonderful to be swallowed up by towers of books, I know, but slightly less so when you don't find anything among them you can carry off home.
This is the cool find of the day. Baudelaire in Dutch, donated to us by Riana Scheepers.
#OTD 1819 Byron writes to his publisher "So you want me to undertake what you call a 'great work?' an Epic Poem, I suppose, or some such. I'll try no such thing; I hate tasks"
Keats' 'On first looking into Chapman's Homer', from @guardianbooks theguardian.com/books/booksblo…
@HannalieT I failed the eye test three times 😱 Apparently I need to get to an optometrist soon, or I'll never get to writing one. 😝
Been stuck in a queue at the licensing department for the past two hours. Feel like an idiot for not bringing a book.
April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. T. S. Eliot, 'The Waste Land'
