Davis and Buckley.

As a recent departing gift for my travels, a friend of mine gave me a good traveling companion, a cd of good old Mr.Miles Davis! Absolutely a must to have on your iPod! This reminded me of an image I recently spotted, here, all the legends are captured on skateboard decks, this style of design, to me, is absolutely breathtaking. Black&white meets subtle colour use and lines!

Another music man I have great respect for, seeing that we're talking about some old school legends today, has to be Mr.Jeff Buckley, who's music career was ended by an evening swim at the age of 30, so random and sad!

Addis in Cape

"When spiderwebs unite, it can tie up a lion"

Today two friends came to visit me in the city, it was time to show them the lovely world of Addis in Cape, the Ethiopian restaurant on the corner of Church & Longstreet. We were in for a treat, not expecting too much, the culture rich surroundings of the restaurant and the true Ethiopian cuisine blew us away. Walton & Lianca had lots of questions for our storytelling waiter (Walton, having recently traveled to Ethiopia himself).

Besides the introduction of new flavours to our taste buds and gaining an appreciation for their culture, this quote - "When spiderwebs unite, it can tie up a lion" - an Ethiopian saying, stood out the most for me. I will now spend more time reading up on their history, because this country holds amazing tales!

So if you are up for something different and unique, go check out ADDIS IN CAPE, 41 Church street, Cape Town.

p.s they have great Baklava!

le Rêve!

le Rêve! {the dream} I have had so many conversations with so many people, about so many topics, but one topic that always pops up, will have to be about a dream I have.. A dream that I need to turn into reality! The dream is still in a top secret folder hidden under my bed, but the entrance of my "dream" would most likely give the ambience of the image posted at the top here. Enough said, watch this space!

The Cat in the... shades?

This captured moment reminds me of the classic book (and movie)
by Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat.
"Why every house should have a cat in it... curled up by the fireplace little warm..."
I hope winter's fireplace is burning in your house!
