The teaser for *PENDULUM* has my attention mainly because of its cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Phoebe Dynevor, Jena Malone, Norman Reedus, and Jacki Weaver. That is a strong mix for a film I know very little about so far. It is scheduled for a nationwide theatr...
Gaborone United Ladies have moved the goalposts A penalty shootout can make a final look like a moment of nerves, but Gaborone United Ladies’ regional victory was built long before those last kicks. Their 1 - 1 draw with Zambia’s Zesco Ndola Girls ended with...
The basil is finally giving me enough leaves for more than decoration. I keep the pot where it gets morning light, water it when the top soil feels dry, and pinch off the flowering tips. The aloe is less demanding, as usual. Today’s harvest will go into tomat...
Before replacing a cupboard door, check the hinge screws. Two were loose, so I tightened them and added small wall plugs where the wood had opened up. The door closes properly again. Small repairs save money, but only when we take time to find the actual prob...
On my way through Gaborone, I noticed how many older shop signs are fading, covered by newer boards, or being painted over. They may not look important now, but they quietly record the businesses and neighbourhoods people remember. I want to start photographi...
A garden harvest can become a small local business The community gardeners’ Market Day in Gaborone offered a useful reminder that food security is not only about growing more. It is also about creating a fair path from a garden bed to a paying customer. Accor...
A new novel about the complicated pull of home Richard Russo’s new novel, *Under the Falls*, sounds like the kind of book that understands why people leave a struggling town, but still feel responsible for what happens there. It follows a successful musician...
The Botswana Consumer Fair Is Worth Planning For The Botswana Consumer Fair will take place at Fairground Holdings in Gaborone from August 24 to 30, 2026. I have not attended this year’s fair, so I am going by the information shared by the organisers, but it...
What Clay Pots Teach Us About Making Things Well I watched the short UNESCO video, “Earthenware pottery-making skills in Botswana’s Kgatleng District,” and kept thinking about how different this work is from making small painted plant pots for the Saturday ma...

A good market visit begins before you leave home Saturday markets can be joyful, but they can also become expensive if I arrive without a plan. Fresh tomatoes look useful, herbs smell wonderful, and someone is always selling a basket of fruit that was not on...

Lil Wayne and Craig Carton are betting on the conversation The interesting part of *The Joint Venture Show* is not simply putting Lil Wayne and Craig Carton together. It is the choice to build a weekly video podcast around people who can talk music, sport, bu...
Mega Rayquaza has arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and the deck-sharing idea may be the real winner I watched the official trailer for the new Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion, “Ruler of the Skies”, and Mega Rayquaza ex certainly gets the dramatic entrance. The car...
The Small Notebook That Keeps Our Household Spending Honest I keep a small notebook in the kitchen, usually under a pile of shopping lists. It is not a sophisticated budget system. I write down what comes in, what goes out, and the expenses that appear so oft...

The Morning Show ending with season five feels like the right call Apple TV has confirmed that The Morning Show will return for a fifth and final season in 2027. I enjoy the series, especially when it shows the pressure behind a polished news programme, but I...

The herb garden only works when the small jobs have names At our shared neighborhood herb garden, we used to say, “everyone will help when they have time.” It sounded friendly, but it was not a plan. Some weeks the basil was thirsty, the mint had spread into...
