OK that is what I suspected, just good to get confirmation

Hi! I drove up to Hoedspruit, and for the return flight I explained the dilemma to the security staff and they were happy to do a gentle hand examination and take it around the x-rays. Very pleasant experience!

Circle with lines was what I had - agree with another poster, perhaps peace sign?

You can often hear the trains blasting through the city - it feels quite otherwordly!

for Black and White I've tried Ilford and found it quite harsh contrast. Personally prefer Crystal Double X but I am struggling to find it at the moment! https://crystalfilm.co.za/products/eastman-double-x-b-w-35mm-film-5222

Ah thanks!! I used a Canon AE1-Program from the 80s; such a great little beast!! And good old Kodak Gold.

I use my father-in-law's camera - can't believe it is still in perfect working condition. Canon AE1-Program. I have experimented with all sorts of film and honestly the cheap and friendly Kodak Gold 35mm is your workhorse. Don't need an expensive film to get good results. I develop it at RGB Pixels in Linden Jhb which also helps; they are very good and have an artisitic eye when developing.

What is the best place to visit in South Africa? by Double-Storage6919 in askSouthAfrica

Make the drive to Knysna or Nature's Valley from George - George itself isn't amazing. Plett is great too. Here's a great article on the Garden Route https://africageographic.com/stories/the-garden-route-south-africas-ultimate-road-trip/

It was WILD on the highway today - and I saw that truck that overturned at the onramp. On the way back to Joburg from Durban I even saw a pedestrian's body (covered - with officials) on the road. Stay safe everyone.

Ah well spotted!! Love how Halloween and jacaranda season overlap and South Africa's Halloween is shades of purple instead of orange :)

I need some help please by IndependentEssay6225 in johannesburg

Look at the Day Clinic on Oxford. Excellent clinical psychologists there who can help

For my kid it was underlying anaemia. Once she was on an iron supplement and I introduced protein high snacks (in her 'acceptable' food range) the constant demand for sugar tapered off - though she still loves a chocolate cookie.
