polka dots and the plague.

Once upon a time… polka dots were taboo. Without machines, polka dots were impossible to place evenly and uneven patterns reminded people of diseases such as leprosy, small pox and the plaque. Continue reading polka dots and the plague.

summer is coming… and Cape Town should be stressed.

I am having major mixed emotions towards this weather. On the one hand – I cannot wait for Summer: beaches, tans, smoothies, iced coffees and so on… but with the current dam level average across the province on 17 October being 35.9%, my current excitement comes with much stress.  Continue reading summer is coming… and Cape Town should be stressed.

After a few years of straw, the cap transformed and started being made out of merino wool. During the 1940’s, latex rubber was used to stiffen the material inside the hat. This was when the modern baseball cap was first born! Continue reading the baseball cap.

woodstock.

When visiting Woodstock it’s near impossible to imagine that it was once a beach.Of course, that was a long while ago – mid 19th-century. Since the land-reclamation, Woodstock has become increasingly industrialised. Now, Woodstock is a developing community that is home to many beautiful street artworks. Continue reading woodstock.

breaking out of the box.

  If you don’t have one – you need one. If you do have one – you’ll know it’s the best machine to ever grace the earth for the everyday cook. It can pretty much do everything for you. It can chop, blend, steam, emulsify, whip…. The list is endless.

Who am I?

This is my productive procrastination… at least that’s what I tell myself.

My name is Charlie, I own a Harley. I write about anything and everything. I also have an unhealthy obsession with chocolate and coffee.

My pet peeves include people who misuse ‘a’ and ‘an’ or ‘there’ or ‘their’ or ‘to’ and ‘too’ and so on!

Otherwise I am pretty much always happy and love to be ignorantly optimistic :)
