When was the last time you walked into a place and thought, “Man, if I had built this house, I would have definitely perched the jacuzzi between the indoor go-kart track and the summer cinema projection amphitheatre, and not next to the Finnish sauna.”

I know I have.

Seth shows you how to get from Claremont to Rondebosch, without dealing with the traffic. You may think you know this route, but we assure you, you don’t. The end reveals a spicy secret twist. It’s mind-blowing.

Puma has teamed up with Undefeated to unleash these fine creations on humanity, just in time for summer. Only available at Fabiani stores from November 4, you would be a fool not to have a pair of these caressing your feet by Friday evening.

A fool.

A real fool.

Check it out.

Red. Kind of rhymes with “getting ahead”.

Navy blue. Yes, you can have it, too.

Green. Quite mean.

L’Heure bleue – the hour of blue. That’s the french description of the period when the sun has set, so named for the wonderful quality of the light. Now imagine celebrating this special time of day on a Friday evening between 17h00 and 20h00 at De Grendel estate, as the sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean and Robben Island.

Imagine a canope in your left hand, a glass of De Grendel’s 2011 De Viognier in the other. With a tasting note like this, you can’t go wrong:

This wine has delightful apricot, dried peach and pineapple flavours that follow through on the palate. The barrel fermented portion adds a buttery quality to the balanced mouthfeel that finishes with a crisp dry acidity.

A great food wine – will pair well with rich pasta, chicken and pork dishes.

Well, get thee to the winery!

From November onwards you can make sundowners part of the rhythm of your week: a glass of exquisite De Grendel wine and a nibble in hand, the picturesque view of Table Mountain and a week-end to look forward to. What more can you ask for?

Julius Malema On The Ropes – ANC Youth League president Julius Malema partied up a storm in Mauritius at the weekend amid rumours of his imminent arrest by the Hawks following an extensive investigation of his financial affairs. The Times has established that the net is closing in on Malema and that a joint investigation by the elite police unit, the Hawks and the South African Revenue Service (Sars), was “as good as complete” and that “it was just a matter of time” before authorities acted.

Abramovich Vs. Berezovsky Law Suite – Biggest Claim In The World - They were once said to be like father and son, vacationing, signing deals, and socializing at the Kremlin together. But these days two of Russia’s richest men can’t stand each other — and they’re trading insults in a spectacularly expensive public feud. At more than $6.5 billion, the lawsuit brought by Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky against fellow oligarch Roman Abramovich is a financial drama of giant proportions.

Apple Has More Money Than The US Government – Apple revealed it has a staggering $81.5 billion in cash in the bank, according to reports. That’s more than more money than even the U.S. government has, documents show. The tech giant disclosed parts of its 10K filing earlier this week, claiming it has 13.2 million square feet of building space, employs 60,400 full-time workers and made more than $37.5 billion in cash profits during the last fiscal year.

Steve Jobs Final Words, “Oh Wow” - “Dr. Fischer gave him a 50/50 chance of making it through the night. He made it through the night, Laurene next to him on the bed sometimes jerked up when there was a longer pause between his breaths. She and I looked at each other, then he would heave a deep breath and begin again. Steve’s final words were monosyllables, repeated three times.” [nytimes]

Unheard Amy Winehouse Album To Be Released – A secret album of unheard Amy Winehouse material is to be released — just months after her tragic death at the age of 27.

Royal Girls To Get Equal Shot At The Crown – If Will and Kate’s first child is a girl, it’s now clear that she’ll probably become queen one day — and not even getting a little brother can mess that up. The Commonwealth countries agreed Friday to change centuries-old rules of succession that put sons on the throne ahead of any older sisters.

Why Windows XP Won’t Go Away – Microsoft formally introduced the software at a rather somber press event on Oct. 25, 2001, in New York City, just six weeks after the 9/11 attacks. A decade later, it’s still the planet’s most widely used operating system. Absolutely nobody would have predicted that back in 2001, when an operating system that was more than three years old was considered to be long in the tooth. [time]

Prettier Women Want More Babies – Women with more attractive facial features have higher levels of oestrogen and will likely want more children, according to a recently published study by the University of St Andrews. To show a correlation between estrogen levels and maternity desire, researchers asked 84 women their ideal number of children and compared it with their urine samples. The results revealed a positive correlation, which contradicts previous research linking a woman’s maternal tendencies with her testosterone level. [businessinsider]

Adult Deer Found Inside Florida Python – Workers at the South Florida Water Management District, on Thursday, found a 76-pound adult deer inside a 15.7 foot Burmese python in Everglades, Florida.

Puss In Boots Flick Does Well - Puss in Boots equaled cash at theaters this weekend as the animated spinoff leapt to the top of the box office. The Antonio Banderas-voiced cartoon scored $34 million, according to studio estimates from box office trackers Hollywood.com. The debut was a solid opening, particularly for an offshoot looking to launch its own franchise, and enough to capture the best debut for a movie opening on Halloween weekend, eclipsing SawIII’s record $33.6 million the same weekend in 2006.

As the temperature warms, the days grow longer, the skirts get shorter, skinny jeans are replaced with skinny denim shorts, and all and sundry converge on Camps Bay, Llandudno and the Cliftons after work to tan, swim, and pat themselves on the back for living in such an awesome city. We know summer is here.
