Another week rattled by. Work is still intense but as it was school holidays this week, the morning traffic was much less. I left a bit later and therefore got a few more minutes of sleep. I do love the morning light, the mountains all lit by the dawn, the sky just starting to pinken. …

Winter Chills
I feel like I haven't blogged in ages, but work has me so exhausted that I haven't had the energy to go anywhere interesting enough to want to tell you about it. On Tuesday I had promised Norm that I would go to Spiro's open mic night but by the time I finally got home …

Gender has become such a high profile subject lately and people are being exposed to terms they never knew, much less were exposed to in everyday media. With former manly sports hero and legend Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner transitioning on reality TV and coming out as transgender and appearing on the Vanity Fair cover looking stunning and amazing, thus …
Back It Up
This week passed in a blur with me doing overtime every day. We are developing a new Business Rules Engine and testing as we develop, we are using an agile methodology so it's a constant cycle of change! It's hard to manage. I even worked today, I was in the office by 8am and worked …
Just A Number
Winter is well and truly here. It's been peeking through sporadically but it's rained and been so cold all week. It's impossible to use an umbrella due to the hectic winds in Cape Town. Even with a hooded raincoat one gets drenched getting to and from the car. Winter is not pleasant. And then we …
Back In Black

Painting in the Dark
On Saturday morning Lily drove back to George to spend her last week as a lady of leisure with Josh and Norm arrived home from his trip to the UK on Tuesday. We were all very pleased to see him as we missed him and it also means one more body to share the load …
Old Becomes New
Living in a tourist town and having such a constant stream of visitors I thought I was familiar with every bit of Hout Bay. Today I discovered several delights I hadn't yet experienced. We had spotted a lady selling her outside seating, cushions and table on the Hout Bay 2nd hand site. We loved the …
Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
I am so lucky to live in a fishing village where we can get amazing fresh seafood. My daughter Caitlin has just become pescetarian (eats only fish and seafood, veg and dairy.) The rest of us have sort of followed suit just as it is simpler. We have had a week of Pescetarian Heaven. I …
Waltzing Mathilda
I was invited to attend the Theatre Dinner Evening at The Mount Nelson Hotel last Tuesday with my friend Retha. It's a new concept for the hotel I understand and is held at Planet Restaurant every Tuesday evening from 5 May to 9 June 2015. The evening is priced at R450 per person. ‘The Summer of 1946’ is a play …
