This weekend Norm and I had 4 days off for the Easter weekend and Lily and Josh were in Cape Town to babysit the animals, so Norm and I decided to take off to The Garden Route to visit my son Trevor and his girlfriend Amber in their new home. They moved in at the …

Gin Bunnies
This week one of my favourite colleagues left the company, we have worked together since he joined a project I was on at Media24, and we have recently been on a Data Migration project for a telco project. In honour of his departure a few of us went to La Boheme in Sea Point for dinner. …
Panic Room
Last evening we had another evening of load shedding. For those who are unfamiliar with that term it means that Eskom, our inept parastatal electricity company, is unable to cope with the electrical demand of the country and therefore they turn off areas of the national grid, thereby freeing up electricity for other areas on …
Fires, Figs & Gigs
There is an old joke that says the reason they call Cape Town ‘The Mother City’ is because it takes 9 months for anything to happen. This is generally true except this week has proven that some things can take off like wildfire. Especially, well, a wildfire. I woke in the middle of the night …

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
When I received the notification that La Mouette had implemented a new menu I was of course front of the queue to try it. We had thought that Caitlin and I would be home alone this week with Norm off in Scotland so we booked for the 2 of us to celebrate starting her new …
The Pipes Are Calling
We have had a sad and stressful last few weeks, my mother in law had a bleed to the brain and passed away. Norm was the oldest of 5 and helped raise his siblings and he and his Mum were very close. At 85 she was still living on her own so she was doing …
Tastes of Love and Life
We have been so busy I have not blogged in a week and it was all go, so bear with me if I cover a lot of territory. It was my turn to host bookclub this month and the girls all came to me last Tuesday. My friend Chris has her father in law Pops …
The Spice of Life
I love spicy foods. Growing up in the South of the USA I had never tried Indian food, even when I moved to LA I never tried Indian food. I tried it for the first time when I was living for a few months in Brunei and Malaysia. I loved everything about it except the …
