An American Girl in Mozambique
A blogging friend is currently doing work for an NGO in Mozambique.
Kelli is an American girl with an African heart, and when she returns to Arizona later this summer (or winter, depending on where you live), she has promised to guest post on eLuckypacket and tell us all, not only about her work in […]
eLuckybits ‘n Pieces
Just pretend it’s Christmas here at eLuckypacket! These bits and pieces have been sitting on my to-post list. Just little snippets I thought you might like:
For Flickr fans, there is a new tool that allows you to search Flickr photos by colour (by COLOUR I say!). For example, I chose three colours to get the […]
Posted by elp admin on June 27th, 2008 under Arts & culture, Living in South Africa, Products & services, Technology & gadgets | 3 Comments »Bravo Mr. Zuma!
Not often you’ll hear me say that!
Jacob Zuma’s actions may have been dicy in the past — and I don’t exactly relish the idea of a man with his seeming lack of moral judgment running the country.
But I have to stand up and say (actually I feel like jumping up and down screaming!) “FINALLY!” and […]
iBEZ 4 PREZ! Tannie Evita Now Holding Court on Zoopy!
You’d think after all these years that we’d be over Tannie Evita. Or that she’d be irrelevant in this era of South-African globalism and the passing of her old-time political rivals.
But she manages to reinvent herself — as with the launch of her new multi-media channel on Zoopy — South Africa’s very successful answer to […]
Celebrating the Dads and the Kiddos
A very belated Happy Fathers’ Day and I hope all of you in South Africa had a relaxing long weekend and a restful Youth Day on Monday!
Things have been a bit wild here at Casa eLuckypacket — hence no posting! See that angelic blondie in the picture above? He’s been sick and home from daycare […]
eLuckyfocus: Mother City Living
Planning a visit to Cape Town? Check out Mother City Living, a blog that celebrates the gentler, greener pleasures of the mother city.
Great places to watch the sun set, fun hangouts for an after-the-beach drink, where to find the best local veggies and crafts.
eLuckypacket reader Pia edits and maintains Mother City Living and is […]
Come As You Are
So I’m late to the par-tay but since some of my favorite bloggers (including Aimee and Heather) are doing it, here is a self-portrait taken just after reading Sweetney’s Come as You Are post.
Oh … and because my mother complains that there are never enough pictures of me because I’m always the one taking them.
So […]
Just Might Get Me Watching Rugby
Not a big rugby fan (sacrilegious, I know) but I do fancy Matt Damon.
Maybe enough to see the upcoming South-African rugby drama Human Factor, where he’s set to play Francois Pienaar in his bid to lead the national team to victory in ‘95.
Another good reason to put this on your must-see list? Morgan Freeman has […]
Talking to a South African about Obama
A couple months ago I had an interesting conversation with a friend, a middle-aged (he’d give me crap for saying that) scientist, highly respected in his field, who lives in New York City with his wife and teenage son.
I forget the exact discussion so many months later but he started along the lines of, “I’m […]
Taking Great Group Photos – Every Time!
My brothers and sisters in law will probably not love me for using them as blog fodder but, hey, what’s family for?!
If you have a digital camera, you’ve probably been asked to take a group photo. The office holiday party? The family reunion? Your daughter’s hip-hop dance troupe?
I typically snap off as many shots as […]
We Had a Great Time
We’re back from ten beautiful days on Vancouver Island. We travelled up together, leaving Dave at a conference in Seattle, while Tau and I flew on to Victoria, where we stayed with Dave’s Mom and Dad.
We spent time visiting the extended family and exploring new aspects of our old stomping grounds … those that appeal […]
