Die Hart Van Ons Huis: 'n Skrywer in Provence
"Ons is ses wat in die kliphuis woon: ek en my Franse man Alain, en vier kinders tussen die ouderdomme van drie en sewentien. Syne, myne, ons s’n.
Dis ons. Maar dis nie al nie. In die somer word ons getalle op ‘n daaglikse basis aangevul. Provence in die somer is soos Stilbaai in Desember: groot pret vir vakansiegangers, minder pret vir permanente inwoners.
"Ons is ses wat in die kliphuis woon: ek en my Franse man Alain, en vier kinders tussen die ouderdomme van drie en sewentien. Syne, myne, ons s’n.
Dis ons. Maar dis nie al nie. In die somer word ons getalle op ‘n daaglikse basis aangevul. Provence in die somer is soos Stilbaai in Desember: groot pret vir vakansiegangers, minder pret vir permanente inwoners. Laas somer het ons drie maande lank elke enkele nag oorslaapgaste gehad. Soms tot vyf, ses op ‘n slag. Saam met on ses gesinslede, die tienderjarige Neef uit die Noorde wat elke somer hier deurbring, en Daniel se maats wat soos potplante voor die Playstation in sy slaapkamer rondhang, beteken dit gróótskaalse etes elke dag.
Kos soos vir ‘n kerkbasaar. Gelukkig hou Alain van koskook. Gelukkig is hy die soort kok wat met drie uie en ‘n wortel ‘n pot sop vir twintig mense kan optower. Ek het ook geleer om van koskook te hou (wat anders kon ek doen?), maar ek háát alles wat daarmee saamgaan.
Die inkopies voor die tyd, die skoonmaak na die tyd, die skottelgoed, die skottelgoed, die skottelgoed.
Dis ons. Dis nie so erg soos dit klink nie.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
