A @karavanpress.bsky.social @karinamszczurek.bsky.social Saturday feast. I was happily glued to my seat for a thoughtfully curated writers' morning. Loved the moving and memorable Andre Brink tribute by @pennyhaw.bsky.social. As usual, I bought a clutch of Karavan books.

We launched THE FOURTH BOY by Andrew Robert Wilson in his hometown of Calitzdorp on Friday. The novel is set mostly in the Klein Karoo and is an exceptional addition to its literary landscape. If you are heading there (or anywhere) on the N2, make sure to get a copy at Liberty Books!

When did "festive" jump from being an adjective (for a few centuries) to being a noun? Is this just a South African thing? I'm only noticing it this "Festive" for the first time...

The Bluesky glee chatter makes me think of how the mood lifts when the boss leaves the room. Or when it's back to work in January and you're running around saying Happy New Year to everyone. It's an nb buzz. We're going to need this space and focused, wise, positive people.

This was me three years ago today. Just finished with chemo and radiation. I was literally not yet in the house.The rainbow was a chosen symbol. But the Madiba message was a brilliant photographic accident. It was my courage bag yes but I didn't cutely pose it. #cancersky @thankscancer.bsky.social
