  • Received 6 pack of 'traditional soda' called Innesense. Unusual flavours like vanilla rooibos & guarana berry. Nothing artificial apparently #
  • Oh cool, Ennio is back at Theatre on the Bay in November. I'd like to see his show again, it's hilarious. Origami on steroids! #

  • Rounded off Tjing Tjing with a prego and their new beer… Good stuff http://twitpic.com/5ga4ro #
  • Ending off the night with drinks at Fat Back Soul. Don't tell anyone, but I've just witnessed a dance off! Must admit, the music is funky. #
  • Took a walk down Long Street. It definitely has a vibe you won't find anywhere else in CT, SA even. #
  • This is a sample tweet #
  • Looking at my tweets last night, they make little sense! The highlights were drinks at Tjing Tjing & then trying the new beer at &Union. #

  • Why is recycling still such a mission in CT? I don't want to drive to a depot every week to drop mine off. I'm sure many don't bother. #
  • Thanks everyone for the suggestions for 3rd party recycling collection services. For a single person, it's probably still better take it in. #
  • Now, where to find good fillet steak for my cook off tonight. Butcheries probably closed already… #
  • Hark @niclamond: Only thing I recall from last night: conspiring with @relaxwithdax & @brucepgood to use 'hark' instead of 'RT' from now on. #
  • Thanks everyone for the great suggestions on where to find fillet. I went with Pick 'n Pay Constantia suggested by @T_Purdon & @ToffieFood #
  • Secret ingredient for the cook off tonight: Kalahari truffle butter I was given by Rudi Liebenberg when I was at the Mount Nelson yesterday. #

  • I'm sorry to see that Haagen Dazs is made using milk from cows injected with genetically modified growth hormone (rBST) http://bit.ly/lM6Pq2 #
  • Dinner at the home of @Galiakerbel tonight. She's practising for #MasterChefSA so I'm looking forward to seeing what she does… #
  • Splendid! I love curry. RT @Galiakerbel: My Durban beef curry! #masterchefsa http://yfrog.com/gzzx7onj #
