Sugar Daddy!!
Daddy Time with Rebecca
Of late I have been spending a lot of time working on a website www.eatout.co.zw and this led me to lose out on quality time with my three children Jared, Rebecca and Cassandra. On Monday I decided to spend a little quality time alone with my daughter Rebecca - I fetched her from school - something her mom usually does. We then went for lunch - or more accurately I went to have lunch, Rebecca just wanted to have ice-cream and chocolate sauce. To make it a little sweeter she wanted to sprinkle sugar - now I usually wouldn’t agree and I can see you cringing at the thought. She made those angel eyes and of course I said Yes!
This was all happening at Theo’s Coffee Shop - which I know as 167 on Enterprise Road. Rebecca then decided that she wanted to put her feet in the swimming pool and she said “Oh! please Daddy!”. The shoes and socks came off and there sat a thirty something business man in the middle of the working day barefoot in a public place with his daughter.
No matter what anyone says it was absolutely worth it.

How many coffee shops are there in Harare?
Well, we are trying to answer that question as our quest to list all the restuarants, coffee shops and other great places to eat in Zimbabwe continues.
So far we have listed over a hundred restaurants all over the country. In the coming weeks, we are planning a visit to Bulawayo to talk to restaurant owners there and get as many of them listed on eatout.co.zw.
Oh yes, how many coffee shops in Harare? We don’t know yet, but here is a list of the ones we do know about.
How would you tell the story of Zimbabwe?
If we were to tell the story of Zimbabwe which language would capture it most succinctly?
English?
Ndebele?
Shona?
We believe non of the above. Our answer would be the language of images. We have put together over 3,000 pictures to prove this point.
We invite you to take a look at our new Pikicha…
Car jackers and a piece of paper on the back window
I received this by email today and am not sure if it applies to Zimbabwe or South Africa- or both…
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we received this email yesterday:
