Every cloud...
And just when we think we have reached the absolute low point in our beloved country, another scandal explodes; usually involving billions stolen from the poor and in my case the middleclass, otherwise knows as the Currently Disadvantaged.
Nice negative intro. Which means I have your attention because we thrive on bad news. But regretfully, I must inform you that I don’t buy into the negative energy the pessimists are exuding. I have a ridiculously black sense of humour, which sometimes offends but hey, it gets me through the day.
For my sins, I’m on my way to Johannesburg. For work, obviously. No one goes there for a holiday. (I warned you that I’m going to offend someone). Comair has just gone out of business. Therefore, I’m on a fully packed plane with grumpy passengers. (When I was checking in, I noticed that SAA was open for business. Well, there were ground staff wearing uniforms. I have no idea if there are any airborne planes. An airline without planes? No, not impossible at all. Transnet have virtually no functioning trains, the Post Office should take ‘Post’ out of their title, the Government should remove ‘govern’... I digress. Back on the plane. First time I’ve flown on LIFT. They give you free coffee! I like them already. About half an hour into the flight with most passengers dozing off, a young woman four rows ahead of me jumps up and comes charging down the aisle... Toilet emergency, I suppose. But a second later she’s followed by the passenger next to her. In a flash an air hostess comes past with an oxygen tank. An announcement follows: ‘If there’s a doctor on board...” Oh my word I’m in a ‘Disaster on flight 209’ movie’.
But here’s the thing. There was a doctor on board as well as two nurses and a Paramedic and they immediately responded. Another announcement: ‘If anyone has an asthma pump... ‘The woman in front of me jumps up and searches her hand luggage. An elderly tannie comes rushing from the front, at least five asthma pumps are offered. No one expected them back. No one expected to be paid...They just did what humans do. When a fellow human being is in trouble, we help.
We landed in JHB and surprisingly, everyone I came across in the City of Gold was pleasant, friendly even. Or maybe I had just changed my attitude. My faith in mankind restored.
Change your mind, and your life will change.
There is always a silver lining, you only have to look for it.
A very clever person said this. No, not me.
But I do have some sage life lessons, I’d like to share with you.
1. If you haven’t joined the Gym by today, you never will. So what, I say.
2. A cat will always land on its feet. A peanut butter slice of bread will land on its face.
3. You will never see that inheritance that was promised by Mr. Smith via Sms.
4. If you answer the phone and the caller says: How are you? You are in trouble.
5. Never ask your husband’s opinion about your outfit. He has been trained to lie. (By you, sweetheart.)
6. No matter how high the cost of living, there’s always money for alcohol/fudge. (Pick your poison.)
7. Women can’t survive in ugly surroundings. Which is one of the reasons why my shop, Amulet still exists.
8. Don’t start a conversation about vaccines. Nobody wins that argument.
9. Predictive text may think it’s smarter than humans, but it’s nothingham.
10. A man will only walk a mile for one thing. The TV Remote
I leave you with this true story.
I recently opened a TikTok account. (No, that is a totally different story)
As with all social media, there will be scammers out there. And in my case, it’s usually a drop-dead gorgeous man. (According to his photograph).
So Davidvin71 sends me a private message: ‘Witam.’ (WTF? is my (inner) response).
I go check out his profile and everything seems legit. Next day from Davidvin71:
Cześć piekna. (Is he asking me to go to a picnic?)
Two days pass. Dlaczego milczy kochanie?
This sounds way too interesting to ignore. Google Translate solves the mystery.
David is asking me: Why so quiet, baby? Because I don’t speak your language, meneer.
Within a heartbeat comes the response: How are you? (Please refer to life lesson no 4.)
I’m interested in seeing when he’s going to ask me for money, so I humor him. The conversation continues over the next couple of days. He tells me about his only son. I’m expecting to hear about the lifethreatening disease and the expensive operation that will be able to save David Junior’s life.
Instead, he asks me where I’m from. Ah, I get it, he’s going to claim that he needs money to fly out to come and visit. I’m from South Africa. No response.
Days pass, not a word from Davidvin71. I’m never going to hear from him again.
Clearly the Rand is so worthless, we are not worth scamming anymore.
A silver lining, I suppose.

Jak de Priester en ElsabÉ Zietsman by die DEIA HUIS in ONRUS.
INTIEM... met JAK DE PRIESTER
R300 | 70min | Deia in Onrus Jak bring ‘n nuwe vertoning na feeste en teaters, naamlik Kaalvoet Mona Lisa. 14 nuwe liedjies uit sy pen met temas van hoop, liefde, inperking en ook die komiese kyk na hoe die wêreld verander het.
Vertoning geborg deur Onrus Apteek Verblyf geborg deur Deia
INTIEM... met ELSABÉ ZIETSMAN
R300 | 70min | Deia in Onrus Elzabé Zietsman en haar vriend/ pianis, Tony Bentel loop al ‘n ver pad saam. “Ons ken mekaar al van die tagtiger jare af, maar nooit daarby uitgekom om saam te werk nie. ‘n Klompie jare gelede het ek hom gevra om een konsert saam met my te doen en ons het nog nie weer opgehou om saam te werk nie. Dit was soos ‘n tuiskoms vir ons altwee.” Elzabé en Tony vertel die stories en sing die liedjies wat hulle harte raak, hulle laat glimlag en een of twee wat hulle laat huil. Sommer net ‘n heerlike kuierkonsert en natuurlik is ‘n Zietsman-konsert nie ‘n konsert sonder ten minste een David Kramer liedjie nie.

Are you a woman experiencing weight gain around age 50?
Why and what to do!
Various factors play a role in the ‘why’ of weight gain so many of us women experience once we reach the age of around 50. Among these is the fact that women often become less active physically as we age.
More important though, are hormonal imbalance around perimenopause and even full-blown menopause. These hormones include oestrogen (estrone, estradadiol and estriol), and even more so progesterone, as well as cortisol and insulin. Sleeplessness or change in sleeping patterns become more prevalent as we mature. This drives cortisol (aka the long term stress hormone) and insulin, with increased fat deposits in our pantries (abdominal or muffin tops) – ancient survival mechanism that now becomes health risks for health challenges incl. Diabetes mellitus with e.g. retinopathy, inflammation running like a wild fire, accelerated aging, heart – e.g. stroke.
Read more about this on our website listed below, under the articles HRT and menopause, and Insulin, Cortisol, Weight Gain and Sleep, as well as Health Risks associated with Increased fat Weight).
The most important factor for fat weight gain however, is Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). MetS, also known as Syndrome X and Insulin-Resistance Syndrome, consists of a constellation of metabolic abnormalities that confer increased health risks as mentioned above.
• Increased waist circumference: abdominal circumference > 102 cm in men, > 88 cm in women
• Increased triglycerides: > 1.7 mmol/1
• Reduced HDL : < 1.0 mmol/l for men; < 1.3 mmol/l for women
• High blood pressure: >130 mmHg systolic; > 85 mmHg diastolic
• Increased fasting glucose: WHO – 6.1-6.9 mmol/l
• Increased fasting insulin (values differ according to different laboratories)
What to do about it
• Screen to diagnose: Fasting blood tests as mentioned above, incl. Vit D. and ask for complete lipid profile, not only total cholesterol and also homocysteine and ultrasensitive CRP (C-reactive protein, an inflammation marker)
• Genetic screening – to assess the genetic predisposition and adapting so that physical symptoms do not occur when older. Therefore, I often recommend that women who have MetS let their younger daughters go for genetic screening to prevent disease later.
• Lifestyle eating plan rather than simply a diet – careful of carbs – focus on wholesome, nutrition dense carbs like wholegrain, basmati rice, raw steel-cut oats, but in controlled portions, healthy, mindful, intuitive eating guidelines. Intermittent fasting 5 days a week, with last meal not later then 19h00, then postponing breakfast until 16-18 hours later is a very effective way to allow burning of fat for energy.
• Be aware of emotional eating – as a distractor, coping mechanism for stress, or reward for hard work or meeting deadlines.
• Deep relaxation – to manage stress every day even 5-10 minutes every morning and evening. Best ‘prescription’ for your health! Find my Stress Solutions Relax and Unwind Audios for basic stress solutions tracks to help you relax and unwind in our online shop
• Moderate, regular exercise and interval training – varying the tempo, e.g. walking fast 1 minute and slower 1 minute even 10-15 min. a day is a very effective way to put your body in fat burning mode
• Natural supplements and herbs formulated by myself:
• Heart Brain Body Support with super antioxidants and key ingredients for optimising metabolism and blood sugar balance, and curbing runaway inflammation, as well as providing immune system and antiageing support, combined with Youthful Living Serum for your skin
• Neuro Balance with key ingredients for brain and nervous system support, overwhelm from stress, as well as immune modulation
• Appetrol – natural appetite control with Hoodia gordonii and Garcinia cambogia
• Calcium and Magnesium Balance for bone support. All in the correct ratio, amino acid chelate, with boron, potassium and providing vit D – a key ingredient for weight control, combined with sun exposure early morning and late afternoon.
• Female Balance for natural hormone balance with plant estrogen (1/10000 the potency of HRT but still highly effective to support your physiology) and plant progesterone (it is essential to support this hormone too)

THE
THE SALTY, THE SOUR…. AND THE BITTERS!
A platter of perhaps profound and profane pontifications, pompous pretentions and potent platitudes, for the princes and the proles, from lawyers and about lawyers!
Adrian Louw‘’Why, may that not be the skull of a lawyer! Where be hisquiddities now, his quillities, hiscases, his tenures, and his tricks? [WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Hamlet to Horatio]
SAVOURIES….
‘‘Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny’’. [EDMUND BURKE, Speech at Bristol, 1780]
‘’People crushed by law have no hopes but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be the enemies to laws; and those, who have much to hope to nothing to lose, will always be dangerous, more or less’’. [EDMUND BURKE, letter to Hon. CJ Fox, 8 October 1777]
‘’ The rule of law does not guarantee freedom since general laws as well as personal edicts can be tyrannical. But increasing reliance on the rule of law clearly played a major role in transforming Western society from a world in which the ordinary citizen was literally subject to the arbitrary will of his master to a world in which the ordinary citizen could regard himself as his own Master. [MILTON FRIEDMAN, Morality and Controls, New York Times, October 28, 1971]
‘’The Law is the last result of human wisdom acting upon human experience for the benefit of the public. [SAMUEL JOHNSON ‘’Sir’’ said Dr Johnson; arranged by if HC Biron]
‘’Man is free if he needs to obey no person but solely the laws.’’ [IMMANUEL KANT]
‘’Let us consider the reason of the case. For nothing is law that is not reason’’. [SIR JOHN POWELL, Coggs v. Bernard, 2 Lord Raymond, 911]
‘’Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen’’. [GEORGE SAVILE, MARQUIS OF HALIFAX, Political Thoughts and Reflections: Of Punishment)
‘’Poverty sets a reduced price on crime’’ [CHAMFORT]
A PINT OF BITTER.
‘’Law is born from despair of human nature’’. [ORTEGA Y GASSET ]
‘’The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges’’. [FRANCE]
‘’If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers in the first place. [GEORGE SAVILLE, MARQUIS OF HALIFAX]
‘Laws are generally not understood by three sorts of persons, viz. by those that make them, by those that execute them, and by those that suffer if they break them’. [GEORGE SAVILLE, MARQUIS OF HALIFAX]
‘’A revolt of the judiciary is more dangerous to a government that any other, even a military revolt. Now and then it uses the military to suppress disorder, but it defends itself every day by means of the courts’’. [TOQUEVILLE]
SOURS…
‘One law for the ox and the ass is oppression’’. [BLAKE]
‘‘It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases’’. SCHILLER]
‘’If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers’’. [DICKENS]
‘’ Law cannot persuade where it cannot punish’’. [THOMAS FULLER]
AND NOW FOR THE DESSERT TROLLEY….
It is illegal to make liquor privately or water publicly [LORD BIRCKETT]
‘’…. All in all I would rather have been a judge than a miner. And what is more, being a miner, as soon as you are too old and tired and sick and stupid to do the job properly, you have to go. Well, the very opposite applies with the judges’’ [PETER COOK, 1960s]
‘’DEFENDANT: I don’t recognise this court! JUDGE: Why not?
’DEFENDANT: You’ve had it decorated!’’ [MORCAMBE AND WISE, 1979]
‘’No brilliance is needed in the law, only commons sense and relatively clean finger nails.’’ [JOHN MORTIMER]
‘’For certain people after 50, litigation takes the place of sex’’ [GORE VIDAL, 1981]
A LITTLE LIGHT LATIN LIQUER…. UBI REM MEAM INVENIO IBI VINDICO. ‘’Where I find my property, there I may recover it. ‘’ Example, if B steals the car of A and then sells it to the unwitting C, A can approach the court for a REI VINDICATIO, a vindicatory action, which, very quickly will enable him with the aid of the police, to seize his car back. C has only an action against the thief, who has probably vanished. Lesson? Don’t buy anything ‘’too good to be true’’ and without proof of ownership from the seller.

Onrus, the perfect family holiday destination!
Milkwood forests, the campsite bustling with holiday makers pitching tents, mouthwatering smells of lamb chops on a braai, the chatter of children walking back from the beach, sunburnt and sandy. These are images that spring to mind when I think of the enchanted seaside hamlet.
I am not sure many people even realise what Onrus once was to many famous South Africans in the last century. To them it was also a family holiday destination, a respite from the hub of the city or a haven to meet like minded artists and creative minds.
The likes of famous writers, poets and artists such as Gregoire Boonzaire, Jan Rabie, Majorie Walace, Audrey Fourie, Uys and Francois Krige even a handful of political personalities like Beyers Naude and Joel Krige to mention a few.
These people once walked the same road to the beach, filled their rusty cars at the local pump station, had accounts at the local café, picked their supper off the rocks and shared bottles of wine in humble homes that were sparsely scattered around the little hamlet of those days.
The simplicity of the lifestyle and the rawness of living so close to nature I suppose is what attracted these folk and I like to think still attracts people today.
I’m known to be resistant to change and anti “progress” but its for a fear of losing what I feel makes Onrus the special place that it is.
If one could only stop the clock – how wonderful it would be. We need to preserve the magic that makes Onrus unique.
I was very fortunate to grow up in Onrus myself and had the privilege of knowing many of these characters. As a child I had no idea who they were or might have been, they were just quirky old folk who we regularly shared a meal with or who joined us for picnics on the rocks and Sunday drives to outlying villages.
The thing that stands out most about all of them was the simplicity of how they chose to live. Their homes all humbly allocated with items that clearly meant something to them whether it was walls of old books, collections of bones, canvases of oil paintings, gardens full of sea shells… each home was a like a treasure chest for a young child with an imagination.
Another thing they all had in common was each one had endless stories to tell of their previous lives and adventures as youngsters.
I remember sitting on sandy, often scruffy kelims trying to picture these sun kissed, leathery faced old people as they talked of days in Paris, parties and their school days in far away places I’d never heard of.
The art of story telling is such a precious thing and sadly with the invent of modern devices the children of today have lost the desire to play outside in open spaces, picking wild flowers, catching tadpoles and falling out of trees as they build treehouses.
The best lessons are learnt from listening to wise old family members around a fire, who’ve made all the mistakes themselves and were surprisingly naughtier than we could ever have imagined. I often left these homes with new found respect and admiration after hearing how brave and adventurous they had been.
Never underestimate the power of story telling.
And so we are delighted be a part of the Kalfiefees this year as a venue to help promote the arts through drama, theatre and song. We need to preserve our cultural history and not lose sight of the simple things in life. If lockdown has taught us anything it is to slow down, simplify and enjoy the company of our family
