And no online hotel reservations in advance. You just tried your best to quickly choose the most honest looking one of the flock of hotel touts that swarmed you the minute you got off the bus at your next location 😂
Youngsters today have no idea!
And when we went on our long backpacking trips our families didn't know where we were until our last postcards and letters reached them, by which time we'd already moved on again... 😂 Those were the days.
Glad to see all went well. Now to follow doctor's post op instructions to a T. My brother only just survived a massive heart attack a year ago and he's still grappling to get used to the lifestyle changes it necessitates. Strength to you both.
The rain I like. The cold, not so much 🥶
This is a dance off, if you see this repost a dance or you’re eliminated.
Robert Arnold: Of A Pope And A President.
Some words to behold on a Sunday morning, whether you are a Christian or not. Beautifully worded, beautifully spoken.
“Exchanged the cross for a campaign sign...”

Yes. Flooding the zone until everyone is so overwhelmed they stop reacting to anything.
Absolutely. Imagine if every Metro did this with the foreign army of their choice, bypassing DIRCO. Chaos.
Once again they outsatire satire. First couple of times this passed on my newsfeed I thought someone was lampooning him. But no, it's real. It happened. Of course it did.
Cape Town MMC of Safety and Security, JP Smith (DA), has described the uproar over a group of United States Marine Corps members training with Metro Police as a fake outrage. He also doesn't believe it requires DIRCO involvement.

Interesting news from South Africa. The country has appointed Roelf Meyer to be its new ambassador to the US.
Who?
He was the chief negotiator from the apartheid government in the transition to democracy. The current president, Cyril Ramaphosa was his opposite number for the now-ruling ANC.
I've just finished reading this.
It should be a bestseller. It's an excellent and very timely critique of USA policies and dominance in the Middle East.

Yoh. When a book review is so beautifully written that you want it to become a book of its own.

US Marines training Cape Town Metro Police cadets is not just “fitness.” It raises serious legal and constitutional concerns.
Residents want safer communities, not PR stunts. Cape Town cannot claim to uphold the rule of law while stepping outside of it.

You get to use my favorite mantra in the literal sense! "This, too, shall pass. It may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass."
Hope you geel better soon.
Word! These last few weeks I have so often thought of this woman at 1.39 in this video... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Zd...

Notice of webinar: The complicity of the United Nations in the ongoing genocide in Gaza A lecture by Prof. Norman G. Finkelstein, co-chaired by: PACSOC Steering Committee members Iman Hammouri, Executive Director of the Popular Art Centre in Ramallah, Palestine and Mike van Graan, a playwright and producer based in Cape Town, South Africa. In this webinar, Norman Finkelstein will speak to the final chapter of his forthcoming book, Gaza’s Gravediggers: An Inquiry into Corruption in High Places in which he argues that the Security Council’s Resolution of 17 November 2025 which outsources and ratifies the control of Gaza to Trump’s so-called Board of Peace, overturns decades of international law that declares illegal the Israel’s occupation of the territory and affirms the right of Palestinians to self-governance. If this is indeed the case, what then are the implications for the future of Palestine, for holding Israel accountable for the genocide and related war crimes, and for the relevance of the United Nations to uphold international law?

They're so completely out of touch they have no idea what would upset South Africans.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith (DA, of course), confirmed that the US Marines were in the area to train Metro Police cadets, specifically focusing on fitness.
I would not say it was "curiousity" that was sparked in me...

Report of a statement by Helen Zille, above a photograph of her: DA Johannesburg mayoral candidate Helen Zille says people must forget about any ideology she stands for. She says they vote for her because she wants to fix the city.
A politician telling you to ignore their party's ideology. 🙄
No Helen, I will not ignore your glorification of colonialism. I will not ignore your politics of exclusion and white privilege. I will definitely not ignore that you're a genocide apologist. And hell no, I will not vote for you.
Critics have slammed the South African government, accusing it of hypocrisy, because the country’s coal exports to Israel have accelerated in the past two years despite Pretoria’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Oh no! Hope the medicine works quickly. And a dop or two to settle Pa's nerves.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️
I'm glad Trump upset so many people with his a whole civilization will die tonight statement. Everyone should be apalled. But Israeli officials have been making similar statements for years. Including nuclear threats. A world who just can not, will not, see Palestinians and Lebanese as human beings.
💔🗡️
It must have felt like the longest day for you. Glad that the surgery is over. I hope the feedback from the Surgeon was good and that you can see your hubby tomorrow.
