Empty Spaces



What shall we use to fill the empty spaces,

Where we used to talk?

How shall I fill the final places?

How shall I complete the wall?

For the soccer fans

As most of you know, next year the Soccer World Cup is in South Africa....

Go check out this blog for really good photos of Cape Town and how the Greenpoint Stadium are progressing!

: Greenpoint Stadium & Cape Town

I am not a soccer fan at all, but the stadium is really amazing! you'll have to come to SA and come see for yourself! ;)

Tanzania - Africa

This morning I took my Dad to the airport. This time he’s on his way to Tanzania. What a wonderful life, although he works very hard when he’s there! He’s been to Angola, Liberia, Sierra leone and everytime I wish I could climb in his suitcase and go with! I want to go live with them at the concession in the bush, I reallly do! Since I can remember he’s been working in the diamond industry, but in Tanzania they focus more on gold mining. And NO, he had nothing to do with the blooddiamonds! Have you seen that movie with Leonardo Di Caprio (Trying to speak with a South African accent)? A few of that movie scenes were filmed in Stellenbosch, like 20-30 kilometres from where I live. ANd also in the Waterfront, 30 km's to the otherside! :)

I’ve taken my dad to the airport like a million times and said goodbye like a zillion times before, but I cry E -V-E-R-Y time!!! :( Last year he also left a few days before Father’s Day.

He's flying to DAR ES SALAAM right this moment!

Tanzania is a tourist country. Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, the Serengeti and a beautiful coastline!

I think I partially convinced him to buy me a planeticket to go visit him! Maybe that’s wishful thinking..we’ll have to see if that happens!!! I can just picture me running around in Africa taking pictures of everything and everyone!! I would really want to go to the neighbouring countries too..

Marilyn who?

a friendship poem...

choose friends wisely, the portrait they paint
it's who you are and who you ain't.

friendship is life's great support
when friends are of the right sort.

for all your dreams do they make room,
or bring you down with doom and gloom?

you will know a friendship is true
when it brings out the best in you.

Chewy Tuesday

Have you made you own pizza bases? Just try it! It tastes MUCH MUCH better than those you buy in die shop! AND you can get double the pizza base for half the price.



Buy 1kg of ready made dough. Break the dough in 8 equal sized balls. then roll it out on a floured counter/table. let it stand and rise while you wait for the oven to reach 180 Celsius. before you put it in the oven, roll it out again. prick the dough with a fork and bake it for about 3 - 5 minutes. Let it cool , package and freeze. Dont worry about making perfect round pizza bases! who ever said it should be round? it looks much more cosy and homely if its just rolled out roughly!



I made this YUMMY Garlic pita too! A bit of olive oil, lots of garlic and spices. it all you need!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

Comfortably Numb

Ive been Blogtouring a lot today and this one blog's postname are one of my alltime fav songs of Pink Floyd.

Sssssshhhhhh, and listen....

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Those who know it, will LOVE it!!!

:D



Feeling good..


Feeling good in the morning sun

Caffeine is an addictive drug, which alters the brain's natural state, and stimulates it in a manner similar to the amphetamines cocaine and heroin.

Nicotine produces all the good feelings that draw people back for another cigarette.
Smoking or chewing tobacco makes people feel good, even mildly euphoric.


I'm looking at the brightside here, so lets forget ALL the negative stuff about these 2 addictions..
fyi : I don't smoke and I only drink coffee when I'm in a nice coffee shop... ;)
:D



aahhh jeeezzzz, I only see now..what's up with the black & white i'm posting lately..?

I promise i'll do more colourful stuff from now...haaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
