Another week has gone by, so that means I’ve got seven new happy pictures for you for the 100 Happy Days Challenge! Oh, and one extra happy, extra special pictures at the end… Day 14: Music pubquiz with friends! Day 15: Having a nice lunch with bagels and strawberries before getting back to university stuff. Only […]
The other day I was scrolling through my old blog posts, and I came across my Christmas post. I love that one, since it makes me all cheerful to remember those two wonderful days. It also made me realise, however, that I never shared the recipe for the Banana Walnut Bread with you! I think […]
Ben Du Toit is an ordinary, decent, harmless man, unremarkable in every way — until his sense of justice is outraged by the death of a man he has known. His friend died at the hands of the police.

This week was quite a hectic one, so it was a lot of fun to dedicate a little bit of my time each day to the 100 Happy Days Challenge and enjoy the little things in life. Here are my happy pictures from week 2! Day 7: Had some delicious Indian food and a wonderful evening with […]

The last Cookie Rookie attempt dates back to February, and I wasn’t really pleased with how those chocolate chip cookies turned out. However, despite having decided that cookies are perhaps not entirely my thing, I felt […]
Exactly one week ago I set up an Instagram account for my blog (and myself), and not long after that I came across the 100 Happy Days Challenge. The name gives most of it away, really, but the goal for this challenge is to make (and post) one photo a day of something that makes you happy […]

It’s been raining outside for the last three days and I haven’t been feeling particularly well this weekend, and what’s better than curling up with a book in a situation […]
