On the ominously dated 06/06/2006, in the murky shadows below Table Mountain, two South African bloggers had a clandestine face-to-coffee-cup meeting. (He had the handsome, open face; hers remained hidden behind a large coffee mug, because THAT is how seriously she took the fact that it was a secret meeting!)
That get-together was long anticipated. From the time, way back in 2004, when his site had been the first to pop up when she sat in front of a computer far away in the United States and searched for ‘South African Blogs.’
He returned her first, awkward comments on his blog with gracious comments on her own infant site and continued, for some reason still completely beyond her, to remain a loyal reader, egging her on with his words of encouragement.
Forward to her homecoming to South Africa and that meeting.
And now the result of that above-mentioned meeting held on that demonic date can at last be revealed and introduced to the world: This new website.
Please read it, link to it, graffiti its URL on to walls and overpasses. And if you comment enough, I could even get some money for the gig!
So, when you leave lots of comments, please don’t forget to ever-so-casually mention that you just adore the writing! The design too, of course, but ESPECIALLY gush about the writing!
okay okay... I'll check it out.... sheesh lol.
actually I've been there before. Cool site, but yeah, I'm a sinner, I didn't comment

Great new site. Congratulations.
Will try to think of witty, slightly pithy, and ever so ironic comments to post there (since I'm not posting anything like that anywhere else. hmpf!)
Hi....again...nice site, enjoyed the writing especially... the design too but the writing is great!
Have not had the opportunity to chat - AT ALL - since you are back, 'cept e-mails, but I believe in hope, MISS you lots and cant wait to see YOU!!!!!!
Just checked it out, it looks good too.
As for cherryflava, I've suspected for a long time now that we may be related by marriage but I've not really tried to find out yet. :-)
