After 3 years of low-carb, I'm loving pasta again!

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 15 Nov 20

For three long years, I embarked on the low-carb lifestyle called Banting. Those who follow this 'lifestyle' baulk at the idea of calling it a diet but it's basically a diet that cuts out refined food items, drinks and all...

Woke up to a halo in the sky

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 15 Nov 20

I woke up to a halo in the sky. I looked up at the sky, and although it looks very hazy, it was rather blinding! The Botswana Meteorological Services Facebook page said it's caused by the interaction of light rays with high-level...

I just saw an injured kitten :(

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 16 Oct 20

I just saw the cutest little black and white kitten outside my window. It looked hungry, so my husband and I went to give it a bowl of milk. But it was very skittish and took off in the opposite direction as soon as it spotted us....

Woke up in excruciating pain

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 10 Oct 20

From time to time, I get this excruciating, burning sensation in my tummy. On Thursday night, I barely slept because it reared its ugly head again. This was the worst it had ever been and the longest time it had lasted. It comes...

Why are some people always angry, bitter and twisted?

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 10 Oct 20

There are people out there who just seem angry at the world all the time. Argumentative. Arguing in a vacuum. Heckling. Trolling. No nice word for anyone. Always moaning. Highly strung. Miserable. Bitter. Twisted. You could pay...

A day bogged down in IT issues!

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 8 Oct 20

They say it doesn't rain but it pours! Today was that day for me. I've recently had internet issues but was lucky to have my modem swapped for a better version a couple of days after reporting it. Today my computer was not for...

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 8 Oct 20

This morning I needed to eat something DELICIOUS. You know when you wake up craving something so much you start to fixate on it? Well, I settled on decadent waffles. I say decadent because I loaded them up with chocolate chips. I...

SCAM ALERT: Avoid this online teaching platform at every cost!

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 7 Oct 20

I"m not one for naming and shaming scammy sites but this time, I feel I have to speak up because money was involved. Nobody likes to be made a mug of AND robbed of their hard-earned money, no matter how small the amount. And in...

Good internet makes me a very happy bunny!

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 6 Oct 20

Lately, I've noticed my internet has been a little too sluggish for my liking. But I just couldn't be bothered to report it. That was until I woke up last Friday to find the dreaded red dot signalling we'd lost all access! To...

Rain, beautiful rain!

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 6 Oct 20

It was overcast the whole day yesterday but it never did rain. I woke up this morning to the pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof. A glance out of the window told me it had rained for most of last night. It's that kind of...

How's everyone? How's the weather where you are? We've just gone into the summer and it promises to be a very stormy rainy season this year. Just last week, there were heavy downpours nationwide, with immeasurable damage reported...

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 16 Mar 20

As store shelves lie empty due to Coronavirus, I've seen pictures of people stockpiling some of the weirdest things! I've seen people with hideous amounts of toilet roll - I mean what do people plan to do with all that toilet...

Mangoes from my neighbour!

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 28 Jan 20

So, yesterday as I was leaving the house to go on my daily walk, I got a very pleasant surprise! I went to open the door but it felt like the handle was weighed down from the outside. Curious but slightly wary, I poked my head...

There's been a lot of hype around the tv series The Witcher, with people even comparing it to Game of Thrones. So, naturally, I've been dying to watch it to see what the hype is all about. Alas! so far, 7 episodes in and I'm...

Acquired taste

Mpho Ashworth @Lushlala (4028) • Gaborone, Botswana 30 Apr 18

I'm sure you've all heard of food items being an 'acquired taste'. Widely popular food like Marmite, liquorice and marmalade for instance, can leave a horrible taste in your mouth the first few times you eat them. But then after a...
