Namibia’s U-23 side draws Angola in Olympic qualifiers Namibia’s U-23 team will face Angola in the first round of the CAF qualifiers for the 2028 Olympic Games. The two-leg tie is scheduled between September 28 and October 6, 2026. It is still some distance f...
Women’s football deserves more than the final score A discussion moving around my feed this week is about women’s football clubs posting full match highlights, not only the winning goal or a few photographs afterwards. I understand why short clips travel furt...
Mint needs boundaries too My mint has started behaving like a small landlord. It sends runners into the tomato container, crowds the chillies, and still looks innocent when I move it back. 🌿 I have learned to keep mint in its own pot, preferably one with eno...
