Now that I’ve been back for quite a while, I’ve had a chance to sample the Windhoek dating pool. I set myself to the task and got myself onto Tinder and went on maybe a dozen dates? Initially, I’d wanted to try something fun and maybe vlog the whole experience – something focussed on first impressions and the assumptions we make about people before we’ve had a chance to get to know them. But too few of my subjects were thrilled to appear on my YouTube LOL. I think I’ll tweak the idea and give it another go later. But this time I thought I’d share some of the biggest differences I found between Namibian and European (Russian) men in particular. 

‘’When we get married, we promise a person the rest of our lives, ‘’Till death do us part’’. 

  But what if in another life we promised someone forever? 

  What if, ten lifetimes ago we promised someone lifetime after lifetime after lifetime after lifetime     

  after lifetime? Think about it. Maybe that’s why marriages fail when they do fail. Because maybe 

  promises are never really broken.’’ – Ndako Rombs

I am sassy, street smart and feisty as hell.

I have my star sign to thank for that.

I am writing this on a Friday evening, twenty minutes before 9 pm, I am meant to submit my entry for Sunday today and bet I will but this has what my life has become, a life filled with things I need to do because they give me great joy. I just finished cooking dinner and watching the kids eat as I indulge in a glass of wine and try to write before I take a long warm shower and have dinner. My life is busy, it’s a simple as that.

Hey Moms,

The amount of time we spent on social media amidst all the other items on the daily “to do lists” is no secret (It probably should be 😅), but this week I was wondering if that’s such a bad thing?
