Flirting with nature

WHILE families throughout South Africa thrive on it, I have never really understood the love affair with camping. Of any sort, be it tented or, preferably but only marginally, the caravan sort with at least a shower and toilet in close proximity – that is in the room. I am more a en-suite three to five star type of holiday person.

A dream is but a dream when you skip a track
I SHOULD be DJing tonight at Taboo or Zanzibar, or Latinova, or Moloko or wherever the kids of today are jolling. I should be being flown all over the country by promoters and so I can play at dodgy events and then spend the night on their couches ...

Pray for inner strength to climb every mountain
YESTERDAY I was having breakfast with a minister friend from Durban. I asked him to tell me what the question was that communities of faith needed to address.

Lemon, salt makes for an appealing bleach
I HAVE some old garden pesticides and weed killer that I want to dispose of. I phoned the help desk at the local government’s waste management and was told, “Take it to the tip.” This is just what I thought I should NOT do. Surely there must be a better option? - AW, Port Elizabeth.

You can seek help if you battle to commit
ALTHOUGH commitment phobia is not an officially recognised disorder, it is certainly something that I come across in my practice.

Books
Strangest man – but an eccentric physics genius
IN this fascinating biography Graham Farmelo cites English philosopher John Stuart Mill’s linkage of the amount of genius in a society to its levels of eccentricity. “That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time,” Mill pronounced with Victorian certitude.

HE was clinically dead for nine minutes – an experience which has since allowed him to touch the lives of hundreds world-wide for more than 15 years. Hungarian- born Tibor Putnoki is visiting South Africa and will aim to inspire people in the Eastern Cape with his talks on “Nine decisive minutes” and “Implications for our everyday lives”.

Sisters do it the identical way
THEY may be complete opposites when it comes to their personalities, but two Port Elizabeth beauties share a lot more than just being sisters. Weekend Post spoke to Tammy and Andrea Rathbone about their matching Toyota MR2 sports cars and the other interests they share.

Pets
Tales of the Berry Tree Bar
I have a bird bar in Walmer, in the shade of my berry tree, outside my bedroom window. Actually, I have another one also, in the back garden. But you know what they say – location, location, location. My customers clamour for the Berry Tree Bar, leaving it dry of birdbeer long before the club at the end of the garden is even halfway out of stock.
