My news fatigue is fading away. Turns out, the world is quite entertaining, and there is good news as well, right beside real and often negative news. No drama – No judgement, just facts!

The Angolan kwanza has been added to Southern Africa’s cross-border payment system, becoming the first new settlement currency admitted since the platform began in 2013. Until now, transactions were largely settled in South African rand.

This is so much fun. Thank you for sharing my interest in the world. May we have a quiet weekend, worldwide (one is allowed to dream, right?) Let’s start with Africa, Morocco:

Isn’t it stunning and wonderful how we have the world at our fingertips? I am really enjoying this new thread on my blog. Thank you to all of you who shared my ‘news’ with other bloggers. The world and I appreciate it. 😉

Every morning I wish for world news, a short briefing on my desk. I have been searching for a website that would give me the world on a silver platter. One side, not ten or fifteen. No luck.

I took a long blogging break here, unintentionally. So much is happening all the time, everywhere, on many levels – and ACTUALLY, I would have something to say about many of these topics. So why don’t I do it?

June was a month of contradictions. Church or strip club? (More about this later) My nerves got the best of me, by now I act like a snapping turtle. Mostly calm on the outside but boy, if you come too close I will bite your head off if I get a chance.
