Don’t miss a thing

Most people who work remotely in coffee shops work

Most people who work remotely in coffee shops work on their laptops. I find taking my laptop irritating, with lugging it around and then having to find a place to set up at a plug point. Mine also no longer works without being plugged in.
The Nokia T20 has made work much simpler and easier for me with its quick setup and I don't have to find an available plug point, plus the added bonus of squeezing into a smaller space.
Why am I enjoying this Nokia T20 tablet?
• Good battery life - Nokia says that the battery can last up to 7 hours of online meetings, 10 hours of movies or 15 hours of surfing the web. I haven't tested its limits yet but I am happy with how long the battery lasts and I don't have to keep it plugged in.
• Fast charging - It doesn't take too long to fully charge so I can get back to ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶o̶v̶i̶e̶ um working.
• Big, clear screen - 10.4 inches, 2K screen and it is also low blue light certified, so it’s easier on my eyes. Movies are clearly seen and documents are easy to read and I didn't need to enable the eye comfort option.
• Quick to pack away - close the cover, pack into my bag and be on my way.
• Sound - great sound quality and I have to remember to turn down the volume before connecting my earphones. (Stereo speakers, dual microphones and OZO audio).
• Bluetooth - quick to connect my earphones and to send photos to my phone.
• Social media, Canva, Pinterest and YouTube are now bigger and brighter and I didn't realize that I had been battling with my phone. I see clearly now 😁
Why did I not get myself a tablet a long time ago!?
People I have shown the Nokia T20 to have expressed surprise when finding out that it is a Nokia. I have even had 2 people think that it is a certain 'fruit' tablet.
Disclaimer : I was sent the Nokia T20 to review and a more comprehensive review will be up on my website soon. @nokiamobileza

@sweetteachickadee is a Southern American cuisine

@sweetteachickadee is a Southern American cuisine restaurant in Linden.
Their aim is to treat guests to a unique and authentically Southern American experience : from the food, to the drinks, to the environment. They are also committed to working with local farmers and producers to source the ingredients needed in order to create seasonal Southern American dishes.
So what can you have at Sweet Tea and Chickadee?
- Build your own Biscuit. This is not the biscuit you are thinking of but more like a scone. The biscuits come with all sorts of fixins (sides) like strawberry jam, lemon curd or sausage pepper gravy.
- Breakfast such as Pumpkin Pie Granola
- Lunch such as Shrimp and Grits
- Drinks such as Bottomless Iced Sweet Tea
- Sweets such as Key Lime Pie
I visited Sweet Tea and Chickadee with my sister and brother-in-law on my last day in JHB. I ordered a cappuccino and we shared Key Lime Pie and Pumpkin Pie.
Great cappuccino and both pies were delicious. I liked the Key Lime Pie more as I love citrus based treats.
I will definitely visit again next time I'm in JHB and have lunch.
Coffee beans are supplied by @brucoffeeroasters
📍32 7th Street
Linden, Randburg
Opening Times :
Monday to Sunday : 8am to 5pm

Meet Fanie Myeza, the head roaster @lineage_coffee

Meet Fanie Myeza, the head roaster @lineage_coffee in Hillcrest.
Many years ago Fanie was a gardener at a local church and he would help Craig Charity set up coffee for events. Craig taught him about coffee and he started working for Lineage in 2012 and roasting in 2014.
Fanie roasts coffee approximately 4 times a week and he can roast up to 250kg a day if he needs to.
"I'm finished after that!" said Fanie
His favourite way to prepare coffee is with a V60 and favourite coffee country is Ethiopia. Fanie got to visit Ethiopia in 2017.
He says that it's important to love coffee and be excited about coffee every day that he enters the shop.
He is grateful for his 2 coffee mentors - Craig Charity who taught him about coffee and Charles Denison who taught him about roasting.
Pop into Lineage in Hillcrest and say Hi to Fanie, buy a tin or 2 of coffee beans and have a coffee.

"Under the towering oak tree that has grown before

"Under the towering oak tree that has grown before the Tait house, lies our beautiful café and french patisserie. Here, our patrons enjoy a relaxing atmosphere among the birds that bathe in the garden. We invite you to our little slice of heaven for a royally delightful experience!"
........ and a delightful experience it was.
@the_victorian_secret
We sat outside next to the water feature and ordered cappuccinos. Something sweet can either be ordered off the menu or you can do what we did and go into the patisserie to choose what to have.
My sister and I had pre-stalked their social media and we already knew what we wanted - Sweetie Pie Macarons. Classic macaron shell filled with marshmallow and dipped in dark chocolate 😍 So so so divine! My sister and I also shared Salted Caramel Cheesecake.

Tait House History
Tait House (140 Woburn Avenue) was designed by Robert Macbeth Robertson, one of the leading architects of the Victorian era, for entrepreneur WM Tait. Built in 1911, the House boasts features typical of Edwardian era architecture - such as its red clay bricks and arched verandah. The historic home forms part of an important group of Victorian-era buildings to the west of the Benoni CBD.

It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who

It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.
Dave Barry
Are you a medicinal or recreational coffee drinker?
I am definitely on the medicinal side as I need my coffee and love coffee.
