About
The title says it all – this is an honest, fun and humorous look at a grown woman’s love-hate relationship with alcohol. In My Year of Not Getting Sh*tfaced, Pam takes a hard look at her drinking habit and realises that although she does not need to find an AA group immediately, she might be a serial binge drinker and needs to take back control.
Set against the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic that pushed most of us to the limits. Pam and her family are no exception, they face several challenges including financial woes and uncertainty about the future of SA.
While other sober curious books are often dry and portray sobriety as the only answer, Pam finds a sweet spot between total sobriety and binge drinking - moderation.
Through her, we experience all the frustration, the discomfort of the withdrawals and the reaction from friends and family to her decision to go dry. With the alcohol bans in South Africa and the national outrage that followed, Pam’s experiences are very relatable and coloured by her cheeky larger-than-life personality.
Pamela Power is a television scriptwriter and script editor who has worked on the television shows Top Billing, Generations, Rockville and Uzalo, and is currently the script editor at Muvhango. She has two children and one husband and lives in Johannesburg.
It's getting hot in here.
When you're a kid, the best compliment a teacher can give you is being called smart. When you were called "smart as a whip," "bright as a button," or simply "a smart cookie," it made your year. However, in a world of smartphones, smartwatches, smart TVs, and even flippin' smart light bulbs, the meaning of smart has changed..
Remember the good old days when being smart meant you knew all the world capitals, could recall every World Cup Springbok and where they were from, or could recite the periodic table elements like they were the lyrics to your favourite song?.
But you have to admit, smart technology is kind of cool. Or in the case of today's deal on a smart heater, it's kind of hot. With the AENO Premium Eco Smart Heater, keeping toasty is just a tap away.
