Updated on | January 11, 2020 | Biche | 2 Comments

When was the last time you were stark raving mad about a game? Not a digital game on your phone or computer, but an offline IRL game like the ones we used to play as kids (for those of us old enough to remember a time when children played non-digital games 😛 )? For me, it had been a long long time, until I came across a card game last year, Red7 (you can check it out on Amazon here), which is what I’d like to tell you about today. Stick around and I’ll even share a video explaining the card game rules, so you … Continue reading →

Updated on | January 13, 2020 | Biche | 7 Comments

If you came to this post searching for “Delmonte juice flavours Kenya”, then you are in the right place. Here, I talk about what I love so much about Del Monte juice and discuss some of the flavours available here in East Africa.

Today, the Fishermans Friend tin is a collectible item. For lovers of Fishermans Friend, like me, who carry their Fisherman’s Friends … Continue reading →
