WE HAD such a giggle here when we read the story about imperfect parenting on page 24. “People are going to think I wrote it,” one colleague said. “No, they’ll think it’s me!” came another. All the moms who read the piece agree – there’s no such thing as being a perfect parent and this writer’s tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of that is a breath of fresh air in the current climate of mom-shaming. Who are we to say breastfeeding is better than a bottle? Or that staying at home is superior to being a working mom? Who are we to judge the parent who has a nanny so she and her husband can sleep through the night? Or the parent who sometimes leaves a baby with his parents so he and…

To my granddaughter on her 14th birthday: Nana loves you even though I haven’t seen you for seven years. NANA, GAUTENG Our radio announcers and TV presenters used to be well spoken, enunciate properly and pause briefly after reading a sentence. Lately too many slurp, lick lips, swallow saliva and draw a breath all at once. BEVERLY, SMS Maths pass rate 20 percent? I had to check it wasn’t April Fool’s Day.

WE’VE seen so many pictures of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s tots and Princess Charlene and Prince Albert’s twins we almost feel as if we know them. But George, Charlotte, Gabriella and Jacques are by no means the only royal rug rats in the world. Feast your eyes on this growing blue-blooded brigade. JAPAN Prince Hisahito (10) Parents: Prince Fumihito (51) and Princess Kiko of Akishino (50) Only men can become emperors in Japan so when Prince Hisahito was born in 2006 it was a cause for huge celebration among the Japanese people and within the royal family. The youngest of Prince Fumihito and Princess Kiko’s three children, Hisahito – whose name means “serene and virtuous” – is the first son born to the royal family in 41 years.…

BASIL Its intense aromatic flavour goes perfectly with meat and fish; the bright green leaves are delicious torn over a cold gazpacho or blitzed into a vibrant pesto. CHIVES This delicately flavoured member of the onion family gives salads a sweet onion hit; also the perfect quick garnish – simply snip with scissors over any savoury dish. CINNAMON The best spice for bringing out sweetness and adding an aromatic, warm flavour. Ground cinnamon is much stronger than stick cinnamon so use with a delicate touch. CUMIN Instantly adds a deep aroma to any dish; ideal teamed with root vegetables, where the sweetness balances their flavour. CORIANDER SEEDS These little seeds add a citrus flavour. Cook carefully to enjoy their full potential – if they burn they taste bitter and can…

THE book For Friends And Family, by Cape Town marketing manager Nicky Stubbs, pays homage to the people who fed her and taught her to cook.

Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be again – AMERICAN COMEDIAN CARRIE SNOW EXTRA MONEY Many older people realise after retirement that their pension and savings aren’t enough to get by on.

You’ll get a receipt that you must keep as proof that you’ve applied. It can take up to three months before you hear if your application was successful. HOW TO QUALIFY There are do’s and don’ts when applying for a state grant. You must be a South African citizen (or registered refugee) and a permanent resident. You…

JASON BOURNE 2016. 13V. 120 min. Action. R125* Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is back for another game of cat and mouse with the CIA in this fast-paced spy thriller. After revealing to the titular amnesiac more about his past, including that he was under surveillance for years and secretly groomed and manipulated into joining the agency, former CIA agent Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) puts Bourne on the trail of his father’s murderer. Bourne’s personal vendetta eventually leads him to CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), who’s planning to hijack a social network and kill its creator. While Dewey will stop at nothing to see Bourne dead, rising-star agent Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) believes he can be brought in from the cold. This fifth instalment in the series received criticism…

DANCING DREAMS Elle (18) voices the character Félicie in Ballerina, which tells the story of an orphan girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina and runs away from her rural town to start a new life in Paris. Elle had ballet dreams of her own at one point. “I love it so much, but that’s the hardest thing I’ll ever do in my life, no doubt,” says Elle, who danced five days a week while in high school. “You’re good or bad, and that’s it. It would be hard to pursue as a career, but in my dreams that would be the thing I’d want to do.” QUEEN B FANGIRL She’s starred opposite some of Hollywood’s biggest stars – Angelina Jolie (Maleficent), Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett (Babel) and Matt…

What’s your favourite healthy snack? A good salad is always nice. I love it when you find one with all the stuff you like, and it’s super tasty. I could eat salad every day! What’s your guilty pleasure? I feel no guilt . . . I openly admit I eat ice cream every day and I love it! How important is it to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin? That’s one of the most important things out there. It’s really important to love yourself. I also think it’s important not to be afraid to love yourself. I try to tell everybody it’s a process, not something that just happens overnight. Sometimes you need time to find out who you are, but that’s part of growing up. When did…

The Beckhams live in the world of the elite, where money is no object and you have friends in so many high places it’s easy to indulge your children when you think they have talent. But what happens if you’re a regular mom or dad and you think you have a gifted kid – how far should you push and when should you back off? Johannesburg educational psychologist Melanie Hart-gill gives some tips: Maintain a balance between achievement and relaxation. “Allow the child as far as possible to set the agenda but remember, your role as parents is to ensure good health and safety as well. Play isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity and the perfect antidote to the stress of modern life.” While pushing your kids too hard…

SO INTO YOU Singers ARIANA GRANDE (23) and MAC MILLER (24) showed they had more in common than just music during a night out in August. REBOUND LOVE Singer IGGY AZALEA (26) got in some necking with Khloé Kardashian’s ex, rapper FRENCH MONTANA (32), after ending her engagement to NBA player Nick Young (31).

NICK LACHEY (43) & KIM KARDASHIAN (36) The former 98° boyband member says he dated Kim for about a week in 2006 after his split from Jessica Simpson and claims Kim used him to get famous. JANET JACKSON (50) & MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY (47) The singer and the actor were rumoured to have had a fling after meeting at the 2002 Grammys.

KRIS JENNER It’s safe to say the Kardashian matriarch has gone from too much to sensational. KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN Her style used to be more mall-ready than red-carpet ready. KENDALL & KYLIE JENNER We’ve watched the sisters go from awkward teenagers to fashion-forward knockouts. KIMYE They may be the reigning king and queen of edgy red-carpet style, but Kim Kardashian and Kanye West once donned some seriously dodgy duds. KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN No longer will she be known as the “fat sister” – these days Khloé is a svelte stunner.

For a long time now I’ve been thinking about what’s happened to our society and values as a whole. When I was much younger we knew who our neighbours were. We could phone our bank manager and get to know him. When we went anywhere we weren’t kept waiting and sent back and forth for the same reason. These days, irrespective of who you are or how old you are, you are sent away with a different query when submitting forms. Today really put me to the test. It was the ninth time I had to go back to a government department and I still have to go back again hoping this will be the final time. Do the staff not have a work ethic or do they simply not…

Whether you choose to eat meat or not is a matter of personal preference but, in general, those who eat meat tend to eat too much. Meat doesn’t have to be served at every meal. It’s true that meat is highly nutritious. It provides a valuable source of protein and other key nutrients such as vitamin B12 and iron. But adequate amounts of these nutrients can be gained from eating just a small amount of meat, leaving room for other highly nutritious plant-based foods. While there’s nothing wrong with eating small quantities of red meat, over-consumption has been linked to increased risk of certain diseases. The Detox Kitchen completely avoids red meat as well as processed meats, instead opting for lean white meats (chicken and turkey) and fish.…

AS A KID she had no idea what she wanted to do when she grew up, only that she wanted to help people. Which is exactly what Stephanie Cowper is doing – and she’s doing it on a global scale with an app that’s making waves in the world of technology and philanthropy. BeSpecular enables visually impaired people (VIPs) to reach out to “sightlings” – volunteers in the sighted community willing to help solve the problems VIPs face daily. The app allows a VIP to take a picture with their phone of something they have a query about and attach a voice note, Johannesburg-based Stephanie says. It could be someone who’s putting together an outfit and wants to know if the colours matches or someone who wants to check the…

TIPS THAT WORK Don’t overdo the natural look. Rather bring in elements of nature here and there for a subtle hint of this trend. Use wood, cement, bamboo, granite, porcelain and stone to add interesting textures as well as various outdoor elements. Throws, scatter cushions, curtains and duvet sets with nature-inspired prints are an affordable way to add natural elements. Make use of house plants such as aloes and delicious monsters to complete the look for this trend.

‘Grief is forever. It doesn’t go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. Grief and love are conjoined; you don’t get one without the other’ – AMERICAN AUTHOR JANDY NELSON I CAN’T FACE LIFE NOW MY HUSBAND IS GONE Q I was happily married for 25 years before my husband died a few months ago. I wasn’t able to have children but my husband and I were enough for each other. We travelled, made friends, socialised and had some great times. My husband was on the verge of retiring when he died of heart failure. He was very protective and made sure I had a life without worries. He sorted out all the finances. I didn’t even know where to pay our rates and…

He ran . . . wouldn’t you? RARE TASTE A guy goes for a walk in a national park and gets lost. After two days roaming around trying to find his way out he’s absolutely famished. He spots a rare blue crane on a rock. He kills the bird and starts to eat it. Suddenly two game rangers appear and arrest the guy for killing an endangered animal. Appearing in court he pleads innocent to the charge against him, claiming that if he hadn’t eaten the crane he’d have died of starvation. The judge rules in his favour.…

LISTEN TO THIS! FIRMAMENT CHRIS CHAMELEON The local singer mostly performs in Afrikaans these days but on his new English album he shows his versatile voice is still an astonishing instrument, while his lyrics are sometimes deep, sometimes humorous but always clever. It might not be for everyone but it’s clear Chris is making music he loves and feels comfortable with. Each track surprises and there’s a colourful variety of styles on the album: some country, some rock, a bit of folk, all presented with a touch of drama.The title track and High are highlights but all the songs are likely to grow on you, so listen with an open mind. – CHARLEA SIEBERHAGEN NEW ON THE BIG SCREEN / A MONSTER CALLS FANTASY.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 18 Everything isn’t always as it seems and everyone’s not necessarily transparent. This week in particular it might pertain to money matters. You should be wary as you might be deceived. You could be targeted by someone who tries to tempt you into participating in a money-making scam to raise funds for a non-existent charity or lures you into parting with your cash with their sob story. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 10, 36, 17, 40, 6, 23 PISCES FEB 19 – MARCH 20 As a romantic Pisces you might yearn for a fairytale life with an all-in-one soul-mate, lover and best friend. This is the week where you might just meet the partner of your dreams. But watch out for your idealistic tendencies and guard against…

TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS The development of spring mechanisms to power clocks made it possible to make small, portable timekeeping devices. It’s believed that between 1500 and 1510 Peter Henlein, from Nuremberg in Germany, made clocks with spring mechanisms that could run for up to 40 hours before they needed to be rewound. The biggest challenge that faced clock makers was to get their clocks to run smoothly and evenly. The development in the early 14th century of the fusee – a snail-shaped gear around which the clock chain was wound – ensured the forces acting on the time mechanism remained constant. In 1675 the next great development came. Englishman Robert Hooke and Dutchman Christiaan Huygens separately invented the same thing – the pendulum clock, a mechanism with a spring that enabled…

HE’S been an actor, writer, producer and director and if you ask him which discipline he loves the most, he wouldn’t be able to choose. Because for him they all boil down to one thing – telling a story. That’s what he really loves. Akin Omotoso is good at it too. The romantic comedy Tell Me Sweet Something, which he co-wrote and directed, raked in more than R2 million at the box office and won the award for best narrative feature at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia in the US last year. His newest film, Vaya, which tells the story of three strangers trying to make their way in Johannesburg, was the only South African film to be selected for the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival in Canada.

ANIMAL CRACKERS ANIMAL-LOVERS around the country have been the big winners this festive season with all the newly introduced species roaming our game parks. The introduction of two new avian species has birdwatchers’ tongues wagging. First there’s the Gwede General Secretary Bird. These birds make lots of noise and roam with Hawk-eyed Scorpions but remain surprisingly toothless. The Blue Light Crane should be a nonstop hit with all but their unruly bursts of speed could be a threat to law-abiding park road users. Thirdly there’s the Oscar Fell-con. Then there’s been a big stink around the introduction of the Hlaudi Hyena, as it’s future is already in doubt. It’s recommended that it be observed from a distance as it gives off a hyena-ous smell. Taking all factors into account, it’s…

THEY’RE commoners plucked from the masses by princes, women with style and charm who’ve captured the hearts of people around the globe, devoted moms with adorable tots, tireless workers for the good of others . . .

The books don’t have to be read in order but regular readers will find extra background information THE TRESPASSER By TANA FRENCH Hodder & Stoughton Irish crime writer Tana French has this clever technique in her Dublin Murder Squad series: each book has a different cop as the narrator and main focus, a character who’s always introduced in a secondary, sometimes minor role in an earlier novel (in spite of the series name they’re not all murder squad members). In her previous novel, The Secret Place, the main character was Stephen Moran, who had a smaller role in the 2010 book Faithful Place. And now in her latest instalment, the sixth in the series, the main character is Antoinette Conway, who was Moran’s partner in The Secret Place. What makes…

T HE sun has been used to tell the time for thousands of years. The world’s oldest surviving sundial was found in Ancient Egypt and dates back to 1500 BC. The Bible’s Old Testament mentions sundials and they were also used by the Babylonians and Ancient Greeks. These designs were later refined by Muslim astronomers. Sundials reached their greatest popularity during the Middle Ages, after which they were gradually replaced by mechanical clocks. Today they’re used mostly for decoration in gardens. READING A SUNDIAL The surface of a sundial has markings for each hour of daylight. Sunlight falls on the gnomon (pointer), which casts a shadow onto the surface. The place where the shadow touches the dial tells you what time it is, for example, if it falls on the…

WOULD it ever cross your mind to set off a mousetrap on your tongue? Or to try to balance a chainsaw on your chin? Or to lift weights using your eye sockets or to pull a light aircraft by your ears? It’s amazing what people are willing to do to get noticed. Here are some of the most bizarre feats that made it into the Guinness World Records 2017 edition. MOST SWORDS SWALLOWED ON A UNICYCLE Australian street performer Chayne Hultgren, who calls himself the Space Cowboy, swallowed three swords while atop a unicycle at Wonder-ground in London, UK, on 14 September 2012. Each sword was 42 cm long, 3 mm thick and 2 cm wide. The extra-tall unicycle he used was 2,49 m high. MOST BOWLING BALLS CAUGHT ON…

HE’S a cute kid with his mop of sandy hair, spray of freckles and mishmash of teeth that have yet to be honed by an orthodontist’s handiwork. Like many other 11-year-olds he loves soccer, skateboarding and music – but this particular preteen has something that sets him apart from other kids: his parents are two of the most famous people on the planet. And because of this, doors are opening to Cruz Beckham with remarkable ease. This was evident over the festive season when it was announced David and Victoria’s third son would be releasing a single, If Every Day Was Christmas, under the management of Scooter Braun – the guy who took Justin Bieber from teen YouTube sensation to megastar. Cruz’s music video is rather Bieberesque: the boy singing,…
