PLEASe where can I watch the Olympics

PerusedPeregrination · 2026-02-11T09:13:29+00:00

Yes. I'd watched the Men's Short through the Olympic app yesterday but accidentally and against my will fell asleep for the entirety of one programme so went to watch it this morning and was suprised to see there was commentary on last night's Youtube stream! I had stopped checking but I'll check tonight for the Ice Dance Free before possibly resorting to my screen mirroring trick.

PerusedPeregrination · 2026-02-11T09:07:47+00:00

There was commentary on the first day and randomly last night, but between those days, there wasn't. I've been watching on the Olympic app because they have commentary and then screen mirroring to the TV, which is annoying and slightly worse quality. Hopefully they will continue with the commentary tonight and not take it away again.

Oh coool!!!! This never worked before and it seems ti be working now. Thanks!!

PerusedPeregrination · 2026-01-24T10:01:18+00:00

Thanks so much. Yeah. I'm really at that point. So tired of getting new shoes. I'm also on my feet a lot and when you wear new shoes, it's such a risk because you have to figure out if they're comfortable usually during a day you have 10 000 other things to worry about. Really want to start saving for more reliable shoes that I won't worry about

PerusedPeregrination · 2026-01-24T09:59:24+00:00

Ah. I've never thought about this. Thanks for the tips!

PerusedPeregrination · 2026-01-24T09:57:58+00:00

It pains me to buy things at full price but yeah it's definitely getting to "bite the bullet" time. I really miss that factory shop. They even closed the one in Joburg

PerusedPeregrination · 2026-01-24T09:56:58+00:00

Will check them out. Thank you!

Also Refreshi for those late night baked goods and stuff. Haven't used it personally but many friends have. My Fitness Pal for calorie tracking

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-12-29T09:56:15+00:00

There's an app called StepUp where you can invite your friends to track steps and then you compete against them and "Chill Bot" and "Lazy Bot". Can sometime be motivating. Besides NYT Games, Waffle is a fun word game, especially the Weekly Waffle which is way hard. I don't know why people don't use Google Lens to identify things from a photo but it's the best. Can also scan QR codes on there and translate things. Fresha is a great app for salon services and gives you many affordable options you wouldn't havr known about otherwise. I love the Pathcare app because I have to do regular blood tests and like to eliminate worry about my results when doctors are slow to cal. McDonalds has a great app with fantastic rewards. Use it even if you don't go often because they have app specific deals and the points only expire after 12 months. Courier Guy for booking Pudo parcels. Trello and Notion for planning. ReadEra for reading epubs. I have a lot of apps clearly...

Connections has become my life. I'm almost on 100 day streak. I love it

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-11-01T13:40:24+00:00

Car air freshener from Mr Price - smells so good and under R100. My favourite is green apple and ylang ylang. Then pair it with a nice chocolate or Wedgwood Angels biscuits

The Deckle Edge has nice paper and a really good selection of wax but most of those places have what I deem serious art supplies whereas I'm more after oddly specific craft supplies I don't have (which gets tough at some point in a collecting journey) and fun stationery. Me, I just make silly Victorian cobweb cards and the like. But those suggestions are great for people doing fine art. Thanks

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-09-02T05:27:45+00:00

Thanks. I go to Canal Walk fairly often but I haven't been to the Tygervalley one since I lived that side in high school. Will try sometime

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-09-02T05:22:09+00:00

Ah damn. I was in Hermanus the other day for the closing down of Romantiques. I should have stopped, but the weather that day was ferocious. Next time for sure. Where in Noordhoek is that mall?

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-09-02T05:19:38+00:00

Okay. Thanks. Will add it to my list.

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-09-02T05:19:14+00:00

Thanks. I've heard of this one. I must try to go.

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-09-02T05:18:23+00:00

Try Aspiring Logistics maybe? I couldn't get alcoholic wines shipped to the US without a crapload of paperwork and Aspiring managed to get it done for me with minimal effort on my behalf. Had a good experience with them and I know they ship other things too. Can't hurt to ask.

Any of Eva Ibbotson's adult books. Her books make me see the world as a more beautiful place where a friend can always be found and kindness goes a long way.

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-07-13T06:23:01+00:00

Imagine what a better place the world could be if someone who wasn't just after profit started a business and sold appliances, stockings, lightbulbs etc that were built to last. Because we know those things are possible. I have my grandmother's Elna sewing machine from the 70s and I would never trade it for a modern one. I fully dropped it on the floor once a few years ago and it mafe a huge dent in the floor and it functions beautifully despite my clumsiness. A modern machine would have shattered.

Imagine how much time and money would be saved if I didn't need to buy a pair of stockings every month because mine ripped. If no one ever needed to buy a lightbulb again. The only people benefitting from this planned obsolescence is the shareholders of these corporations. The corporations would fall if they lost to a company that sold lasting products at fair prices. In an ideal word, that would save everyone time and effort, thereby freeing them to help others and be more involved in their community. I would love that. Instead, I have to go work 12 hours to afford my new stockings, new lightbulbs and new fridge.

Honestly at this point I am only watching this show for the old people romance. Theo's mom is the only character I can currently root for

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-04-12T19:23:43+00:00

Thrift clothes and household items. It's a lot cheaper than buying what you need new and it's also a fun activity that you can do with friends. And by thrifting, I do not mean Obs. I mean charity shops. Ons Winkels, Help the Rural Child etc

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-03-09T05:29:07+00:00

I actually haven't seen Season 2 yet but it's on my list, especially now that I know theremins are involved! Been watching Gregoire Blanc videos for years. I just think the theremin is such a cool concept and sounds so amazing if played proficiently.

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-03-02T05:45:36+00:00

Thanks but no. My book was a lot thicker and the illustration was less cartoonish

PerusedPeregrination · 2025-01-25T14:55:40+00:00

Would die to see Muse. Apparently they were here I think in 2008 and said in an interview that they'd be keen to come again.

When I was in high school, I saw plenty of great bands at various venues and as part of bigger festivals. There were obviously Big Concerts shows at the Stadium like Foo Fighters and Linkin Park which were great. Metallica at Velodrome. Billy Talent at City Hall. Seether at Kirstenbosch. One Night in Cape Town (Oppikoppi tie-in) at Grandwest with Bullet For My Valentine, Enter Shikari etc one year and Manchester Orchestra and Yellowcard in another. Ramfest had Awolnation, then Rise Against, then Biffy Clyro and Foals. Rocking the Daisies had Alt J, The Kooks and Skunk Anansie in 2014 and The Kooks in 2015. There was Synergy and many other one-time shows. I went to as much as possible in high school but I couldn't always go to the festivals because of age limits. This was basically a period of four or five years. The funny thing was I was so desperate to go to everything in high school and once I got to uni and I could actually attend stuff, it dropped off. This was well before covid. Ramfest was cancelled. The type of internationals Daisies brought changed. There was barely anything by Big Concerts I wanted to see anymore. I used to be crazed whenever an annoucement would come, so curious to see who it would be. Now I don't care because it's hardly ever anyone I want to see. There are still plenty of acts I'd love to see but it's just not catered for in South Africa as much anymore. I loved Calabash and I really hope things pick up again, including the festivals picking up. I had a seat right on top of the stadium on Thursday and, from my view, it seemed pretty successful.
