Wet Rock Indoor Water Park

Wet Rock Indoor Water Park

Looking for something to do on that odd raining day in Durban? I’d highly recommend the Wet Rock Indoor Water Park, complete with a lazy river ride, kiddies and adult slides, and a fantastic cafe. Check out some of the fun I had there with my family.

Fixing Jittery Playback in Premiere Pro CC

From time to time I find bugs in the various pieces of software I use to process my photos and videos. I usually find a work-around, either by fiddling or on the internet, but I tend to forget them a few weeks later when I encounter the same problem. I’ve therefore decided to post them on …

Wavies and Cappuccinos

Wavies and Cappuccinos

Back before I had 2 children, in the days when my job was less time consuming, I used to often fish before (and after) work along the beaches of KwaZulu-Natal or in the Durban harbour. Those days now seem like a distant memory, although in truth it wasn’t all that long ago. This morning I …

India! A Sensory Extravaganza!

India! A Sensory Extravaganza!

India is a sensory extravaganza! There’s no other reasonable way to describe it.

My First Parkrun

My First Parkrun

For the past year I’ve heard story after story about just how fun parkruns are, and how they’re the latest craze sweeping the globe. I’d even gone so far as to sign up for them 6 months ago but was yet to actually take part in one, despite the Shongweni parkrun being less than 5kms from …

Family Fun at Gooderson Monk’s Cowl

Family Fun at Gooderson Monk’s Cowl

Being the queen of FOMO, my sister made a last minute decision to fly out to South Africa to meet her niece (or perhaps visit her mother, who knows). We therefore decided to treat her to a weekend away, Prior-family style. Sadly my attempt to turn this into a fishing trip failed and we chose Gooderson …
