This is going to be a bilingual post- I am sure I should preferably translate my own blog, rather than having people trying to use google translate!! I would also like to prompt more comments - and have a very bilingual life with friends who speak both Afrikaans and English.. So here goes.
Soos ek so pas genoem het, wil ek probeer meer kommentaar uitlok deur om in albei my tale te blog
Ok then, I recently looked after someone's house and pets- which I seem to do on a regular basis nowadays- when instead of feeling alone in a relatively strange house, I got onto the big double bed and surrounded myself with a few of the pleasures in my life: a cup of tea, something light to nibble on,my favourite radio station called RSG, some new magazines and my bookfriends ( by which I mean the books I am currently enjoying) and then my other new companion namely Lucy, the Laptop. I thought to myself what more could a single woman want?
Ja daar is ek toe omring deur tydskrifte nl Good Housekeeping en die 'Tuis" . my nuwe speelding, Lucy die Laptop en die volgende baie uiteenlopende boeke, MONUMENT deur Maretha Maartens- geskiedenis en roman , "SONDAG OP "N VOELPLAAS - nog 'n nuwe Afrikaanse boek, plus "THE HAT SHOP"so lekker ligte roman wat in Ierland afspeel. Wat 'n keuse om te kan maak?
En op 'n ander aand kyk ek sommer twee flieks na mekaar, want sien hier in die huis het ek DSTV- wat ek nie tuis het nie- en na so bietjie kuier op my rekenaar terwyl ek opera musiek oor die radio luister kan ek rustig slaap- Broodjie, die hond van hierdie huis is in haar bed en ek voel goed.
I have realised that one doesn't need outside things to make you content and happy. You can make yourself happy by finding things you enjoy -little things like a cup of tea and a good book ,or a fat new magazine, or a good radio programme to listen to...... and if lucky you might have a laptop with which to interact. I enjoy writing chatty letters - read e-mails to faraway friends, or posting some of my photos and activities to Facebook, blogging and my latest pleasure- doing all kinds of things with Powerpoint. ( If you don't know Powerpoint, go and do a course- you won't be sorry! I love using my photos in different ways or making a friend a birthday card) Then there is always the hot bath by candlelight with a glass of wine routine!!
Ok now for some photos...
Nog net 'n paar fotos...
