Mandela Day - A Trip to Baphumalele

To celebrate Mandela Day and contribute our 67 minutes towards making the world a better place we spent the after noon at Baphumalele Children's Home in Khayelitsha.

This incredible home was started in the late 80s by Rosie Mashale. Along with a group of other women, she began looking after unsupervised children in Khayelitsha from her home. After just one week 36 children had joined.

Issue-Swap

Issues.

We all have them.

Some of them stem from nature, others from nurture (or the lack thereof). Some we stumble upon as little kids, others kick in as we get older. If you say that you have no issues, I say that I don’t believe you.

Now I don’t know if this little idea will work, but let’s see. It all stemmed from a tweet I wrote last night after giving away a prize on here. “I freaking love giving things away!” followed by “RT to stand a chance to win my issues”.

Competition: Tickets to The Insanity League

Whatever the genre, a night out to the theatre (cue visual of me in long gloves and a sparkly dress) is one of my very favourite things to do.

Computicket have been incredibly lovely and have offered me two tickets for myself and two tickets to give away to their new show, “The Rise of the Insanity League” conceptualised by and starring, Aaron McIlroy, Ben Voss and John van de Ruit (who wrote the Spud books)

But before I get to the competition details, here is a bit more about the show!
 

- The Rise of the Insanity League -

The show has been created as a sketch comedy show like no other, which bounces between both “sheer genius and rank stupidity”.
 

Aaron McIlroy and Ben Voss are joined by John van de Ruit, whose been off the theatre scene for 10 years. While I have found that sketch comedy (a show made up of a series of different scenes) can often be silly, this show promises to be “more than just a random selection of sketches - the team is preparing a comic study on insanity unlike anything ever seen on the stage in South Africa before”.

DOES THAT NOT SOUND MAJESTIC?!

And here we are again for another installment of Procrastination Friday.

Nuff said.

Ooops, your pen!s is showing.

Tattoos. We’ve all seen amazing ones. We’ve all seen hideous ones. I can kinda understand when someone gets a tattoo of a fairy on their lower back, thinking it is just grand. And then obviously lives to regret it. My theory is that they had an idea in their mind of this stunning, whimsical design, which turned out to be just an average trampstamp. What I don’t understand is this:
