  14 Days & 40 Years - The Little...

  Not all love is the same, which is one of the most peculiar truths in life. Your Love is as unique as the individual you feel it for. I think that’s one of the greatest paradoxes we will live through. It seems to me, there is little choice in how big it is, or how hard it hits. There’s no telling what it will do to you when you enter the arena, and that is why it can be a force we sometimes fight; because it has felt like a battle we’ve lost before. 
  Although it feels like you are powerless in Love, you aren’t powerless at the end of Love. You choose whether or not big Love crushes you, or if it shrinks for you to carry it in your pocket as a reminder of the greatness it once was. The desire to not be destroyed by Love is where I am. 
  This is a story of 14 days that coincided with my 40th birthday and a time I fell in Love. It was through a difficult turn of events that I got to step away from my uncomfortable life to experience turning 40 in Mexico; with someone I didn’t just love, but who I liked. So this is also a story about the importance of falling in Like. 
  For a long time I said if I ever shared this story, I’d have to call it fiction because it feels so personal. But eventually I realized it made more sense to just admit: it’s me. I’m the quiet naive girl in these pages who had barely begun to know herself and didn’t know how to communicate as well as she thought she did. I’m the one who was learning that Love can be complicated; while seeming simple to me. 
  One of the greatest lessons anyone learns, is knowing what it feels like to fall in love and experience connection. That was my greatest benefit; because I have been able to use that measure of connection ever since. One can break and fall apart in many ways, but it’s my opinion that until big love breaks you, a level of innocence remains. After that, you decide whether or not big love heals you. For me, it took this little trip of 14 days to finally benefit from the long journey of 40 years.

  ‘Next year I’m going to be 80 years old. My car will be 20 years old. Together we’ll be 100. We’re going to drive to Cairo.’ 
    
  ‘And what route are you going to take?’ 
    
  ‘I have no idea. I think I’ll keep to the right.’ 
    
  When 80-year-old Julia Albu calls in to her favourite radio show with a zany, half-baked idea, she has no idea that it will lead her to the adventure of a lifetime. 
  From helping push a 30-year-old Toyota bakkie up a precipitous mountain pass in Malawi to being ‘adopted’ by the riotous ex-pat South African community in Dar es Salaam and being fed mildly hallucinogenic ‘herbs’ by her Ethiopian driver-guide, nothing deterred 80-year-old Julia Albu from her quest to drive through Africa from the Cape to Cairo. 
  	She and her 20-year-old Toyota Conquest, Tracy – a personality in her own right – travelled through 10 African countries, from South Africa to Egypt (and beyond). Julia was accompanied by a series of companions who added texture to her travels: three of her four grown-up children, her son-in-law, and at least one person who began as a complete stranger and ended up as a friend for life. 
  	Reminiscing about her long and interesting life along the way, and maintaining a bright and upbeat outlook regardless of the circumstances, Julia proves that you’re never too old to tackle that bucket list.

  Sailing Alone Around The World

  Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail around the world alone in a small boat. He personally rebuilt an 11.2 metre sloop-rigged fishing boat that he named the Spray. On April 24, 1895, he set sail from Boston, Massachusetts. More than three years later, he returned to Newport, Rhode Island, on June 27, 1898 having circumnavigated the world, a distance of 46,000 miles (74,000 km). 
  In 1899 he described the voyage in Sailing Alone Around the World now considered a classic of travel literature. It is a wonderful adventure story from the Age of Sail and a book of which Arthur Ransome declared, "boys who do not like this book ought to be drowned at once". (Summary by Alan Chant and Wikipedia)

  Hindenburg - Thirty-Second Inferno

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Hindenburg: Thirty-Second Inferno is a clear, human-centered chronicle of the most famous airship in history and the half-minute of fire that ended an era. Spanning twenty immersive chapters, it traces the zeppelin dream from its hopeful beginnings through the Hindenburg’s majestic construction, serene ocean crossings, and refined life aboard—promenades of glass, piano in the lounge, disciplined crews, and a floating world of quiet elegance. With steady, simple prose, it opens the doors of the hangars at Friedrichshafen, walks the reader along duralumin ribs and gas cells, and reveals the teamwork, rituals, and pride that held a giant ship safely in the sky. 
  The narrative narrows to May 6, 1937: the gray New Jersey evening, the slow turn over Lakehurst, the dropped mooring lines, and then the sudden bloom of flame that raced the length of the hull. The book stays close to witnesses and survivors—rescuers running into heat and smoke, passengers finding seconds of courage, and the trembling voice of the famous broadcast that carried grief into homes around the world. It follows the night’s rescue efforts, the solemn roll of names, and the first careful questions asked among wreckage still warm with rain and ash. 
  Beyond the shock, the book examines investigations and debates with calm clarity: hydrogen’s lift against its peril, helium’s safety against its scarcity, static and weather, leak and spark, and the humble truth that complex failures are chains, not single breaks. It shows how the disaster reshaped trust and practice—longer checklists, better materials, clearer cockpit authority—and how airplanes quietly inherited the future as airships slipped into memory.
