You Give Me Fever

Despite being back at work for a full week now, my life still does not feel fully back to normal. The flu Norm and I contracted en route to Scotland is still creeping around in our bodies so that could account for my feelings of disorientation, maybe it is feverish delirium. My first day back …

The Celtic Tour

My last two weeks have been rather hectic. We had a small quiet Christmas however. As Lily and Trevor could not make it to Cape Town it was only Norman and Caitlin and I at home.  Christmas Eve Norm and I went to a braai at my friend Retha's. It was a lovely relaxed evening.  …

Slow Roll

This week was full of spontaneity and relaxed fun. We just went with the flow. Friday was a bank holiday and I spent it under a brolly by the pool. I cooked dinner and we had a quiet night in. Norm and I watched War Dogs with Jonah Hill and Bradley Cooper.  Jonah has put back on …

The Roundabout 

It has been over a month since my last blog. I don't even know where to begin with getting you all up to speed! Get a cuppa tea it will probably be a series of a gazillion bad photos. My apologies in advance. Mom had given us the date she departed rather than arrived and …

The Continuity of Spirit

This week has been a challenge to get through. Hearing people justify the sexually predatory behaviors from the president elect and then standing back and feigning shock or disgust when those exact same behaviors trickle down and are exhibited by the masses. You are normalizing these behaviors so don't be shocked when it becomes the …

Hypocrisy & Self Destructive Tendencies

America has chosen a new president. Or shall I say, half of the half of the eligible voters in America who voted put this guy in office. His campaign was based on hate, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, Islamophobia, climate change denial and anti-science rhetoric and was backed up by zero policies, plans or methods of his proposed means of …

The Whole Hog

On Friday I worked from our head office in Century City and when our workshop finished and we left work early I was starving so I headed to Allegria Cafe for a bite to eat. I ordered my fave Eggs Benedict. It looked beautiful but the bacon was way too underdone for my preference. Norm likes …

Haunted

As promised I have some pictures of our Halloween party last weekend to share with you all. We had such fun. It was held in the back room at Spiro's in Hout Bay. We had some very large parties in the past in our homes where lots of things got damaged, broken or barfed on and we …

Sweetest Hangover

I had such a fabulously overindulgent weekend last weekend - it was laden with Sugar and Wine. Therefore when I woke on Monday feeling like I had a hangover I wasn't sure whether to blame the sugar, the wine or both. I had intense pain in my hip and felt fuzzy headed and fluey. I only had a half …

Fairy Dust & Foxes

On Monday I arrived home to find my entire house coated in a thick layer of dust. Every bit of it. Even my bedroom upstairs. I think I may have brought it on myself. Look at me asking the fairies for dust in my last blog. Fairies have a naughty sense of humour.  Norm had …
