"Whoa! Hand me the sleep mask, or blindfold me. The moon is shining in my eyes and you know how crazy that makes me! Wahaha! Oohwho! Argh! No, don't make me look. Lunatic, I hear you whisper."

"Hey, man, I don't know. Really. I'm so good with directions but I'm always getting lost. Ha, ha. Ja, but the GPS takes all the fun out of a trip. Wink! I find my way home again though, because I remember that is north, so this is east. Ha, ha!"

"Please run me a hot bath, add lots of bubbles. What a day! And it's so cold outside. Light me a candle and put on a record. Yes, that's nice. Thank you."

"Genade nee, sê my oupa toe vir my. Moenie vir hulle luister nie. Dis nie: van lekker lag kom lekker huil! Dis: van lekker lag kom lekker kry. Dan lag ons saam daaroor. Vroumense, sê hy, hulle hou van drama en snot en trane."

I'm sorry this cannot be translated into English. You cannot do justice to the expressions.
I particularly like the expression: snot en trane. It's so descriptive, so fabulously true.

"A string of fairy lights in a tree, the moon beyond, up high. A blanket on the grass, a picnic hamper. A cricket chirping, a bird singing good night. What bliss!" SOLD

"I share a joke with a friend and we laugh until we cry. That happiness stays with me all day like an effervescent that hasn't fully dissolved, still releasing bubbles randomly, keeping a smile on my face and even painting the world in friendly colours." Donated to charity.

"I always have my nose in a book. I work in a bookshop and have read almost every book here. I can lose myself in a story, clearly see the setting, feel the atmosphere, embrace the character, cry, laugh, live out every emotion. I can explore Paris or Berlin. Learn the difference between a puma, a panther and a jaguar. Find a new crochet pattern (all the rage again), a goulash recipe or a cure for hiccups. Books. I need books."
