" I don't like food, I love it - and if I don't love it - I don't swallow" ...

... That is what food critic Anton Ego in "Ratatouille"  said and I have since made it my food "mantra" too. I do love food ... a whole big lot! On Saturday morning I awoke to a very sunnny day ... I read my book with the sunshine streaming through the windows and, after making a delicious chili and chive scrambled egg breakfast, I was off to the monthly Greek Food Market ... a sensory delight.

Just a few photos I took with my blackberry ...

My most favourite poem {... ever ... }


i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)


Exploring the many beautiful corners of South Africa - or taking a "short left" as we like to say here - is something that will leave you day-dreaming for hours ...
