		<title>Things seen in the corporate village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This big corporate bank building where I am currently working has a vibe off its own. Taking up a couple of blocks of downtown, it has room to house quite a few fashion oddities, so at least once a day I see something that makes chuckle. Sometimes they’re just a little ironic, sometimes a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignorance IS bliss and the green-eyed monster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not sure I have (m)any readers left, but those I do have are probably tired of my semi-melancholy pregnancy posts. I planned for this, prayed for this, got all frustrated when the universe didn’t oblige on command.

		<title>Misters and Masters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We told Aidan this week about his new sibling on the way. He is 21 months old, so has no idea what we are on about, but tries to repeat what we say anyway, with some amusing results:
&#8220;Aidan is getting a yittle mister&#8221;
&#8220;Aidan is getting a master&#8221;
 Before finally pulling of &#8220;Aidan is getting a [...]]]></description>

		<title>City Sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember a few posts back (yeah, I know that would make it 2 months ago) I mentioned the guy that sleeps right next to the offramp on the pavement?

		<title>More sights in Joburg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. I really want to get a picture of this, but I’m afraid to brandish my cellphone in downtime for fear that someone will smash my window and take it from me. There is this guy who sleeps on the pavement right by the highway off ramp. Right there, every morning, looking like a bundle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Packed and stacked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every time I think that I couldn&#8217;t fit anything more into my life, I find that I can. But at what cost?
