While waiting in a restaurant, I was playing around with my camera. This picture of a water glass captured my interest with the weird effect of light and shadow.
When the sun is setting, between dusk and darkness, there is a moment when the light turns blue. And the world stops for a heartbeat.

With my mother half a world away, I spent my Mother’s Day brunch with friends. Me and Stuart had great time with Ally, Chris and their two pups. We were unable to get a table in any brunch restaurant in town (Mother’s Day problem…), so we ended up in their newly built house. And we ate way too much – as appropriate.


Me and Stuart both love reading. We both started using Kindles after just a few weeks of living together, as we quickly started running out of wall space. Both of us love buying books and would never sell one – not a combination that works in the normal-sized houses. Nowadays we only buys cookbooks and travel books – everything else is digital.
So today’s photo is an experiment on long exposure photography to celebrate the spirit of reading.
After I moved to South Africa, wine automatically became a big part of my environment. After I met my husband, I even learned something about it. (Although I still let him to choose our wines, as his knowledge greatly exceeds mine.) Our bar at home is always filled with good bottles, big glasses, and little gadgets.
I’m starting run out of ‘easy’ targets in the home for these weeks when I get home late and tired. Some still remain. This picture highlights the main colors we have in our home – white, black and red, with some orange thrown in the mix.
Long days at work lead to last minute pictures of whatever you can find in the office.
50 days down, 300+ to go.
When it’s cold, Merlin loves to snooze snuggled up in the blanket. Luckily he doesn’t mind sharing. The closer he can snooze to the humans, the better.
Passion for cooking comes with a lot of spices. A lot. Especially when one enjoys different cuisines, each with their own flavour map. When we moved to our new house, one of my favourite things was to get a drawer just for all of the jars. It makes them so much easier to find.
To continue celebrating Stuart’s birthday, we went to watch ‘Pricilla – the Queen of the Desert’ – the Musical. The show was crazier and more fun I could’ve wished for. At the end, the entire audience was at their feet. So great!
Stuart had a birthday this weekend. We celebrated in a new Mexican restaurant in town, and loved every morsel of it. The restaurant had this funky bar with an amazing tequila selection. Forgot to take a photo of the food, tho.
