Last night I went to Peddlar's on the Bend in Constantia for dinner. It was planned as a book club get together with the George escapees, but most couldn't make it so there were only 3 of us who were there. Cait dropped me so I didn't have to drive as I intended to have …
The Bare Facts
Like so many things which go viral, the no makeup selfie trend went a bit awry. In many cases it lost it's meaning completely as most never donated. It was so easy - just SMS 'PinkDrive' to 40158 (in South Africa) to donate R20. In the UK millions were mistakenly donated to UNICEF due to …
