The last week has been both incredibly stressful and incredibly amazing. Last Sunday while out walking my husband and our dogs were attacked by one of our neighbour’s dog. Our dogs were on leads, walking on the road. Their dogs were off lead and ran out of their own garden and their big dog picked …

Land of Dinosaurs and Delinquents
Everyone still felt a bit down about Robin Williams as the weekend rolled round. I was happy that Norm was coming home as he had been away for work and a lot more responsibility falls on me when he is not around to share the household tasks. It takes a village to keep our house …
Cheap French Tart
It's been a week of bad news. They do always say bad things come in threes and in this case 'they' are right! First, I had confirmation they didn't have a role available for me at the company I was keen on where I went for the interview. But they said they liked me and …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
I was lucky to have 3 lunch dates this week! My financial investments guy popped by to update me on things on Monday, Thursday my friend Di was in town dropping off her Cushi's at Spree. She messaged me and I popped down to meet her, then Norm messaged me Friday to say he was …
99 Problems
This week has had more than it's usual share of highs and lows. Wednesday when I was going to see my Osteo, my car finally decide to just give up and refused to climb Table Mountain. In fact it started to slip backwards. On a blind curve. Lovely. Luckily there was no one behind me …
From Torture to Bliss
I love entering competitions. I've won several things just from the odds of how many I enter, I won 2 tickets to see Oklahoma! at the Artscape Theatre and on Friday after work we were in a rush to get back to the city before the curtain lifted. We were pleased to see we had …
Itinerary of Gastronomic Delights
The girls came back from George for Norman's birthday and we planned a few days of casual celebrations with friends and family rather than a big birthday party as Norm didn't want a fuss. Thursday was his actual birthday and he was taking me to the periodontist so we got back to Hout Bay quite …
Highs and Lows
This weekend started out rather dismally. Friday afternoon I went to see my GP as I have a few random things going on with my body which I have been ignoring, but the latest symptom is swelling in my mouth which interfered with eating. For a foodie that was the impetus to get me to …
Dim all the lights sweet darlin
Friday night and I'm sitting mostly in the dark, the room beautifully lit by candlelight everything looking soft. It's pouring rain outside and has been raining sheets of water since this afternoon. The entire road is underwater, so much so that I had to leave my car in the city as I've just had new …
Seaside Blues
There are not that many public places where I can spend a leisurely 5 hours relaxing and not start twitching to leave or move around. Polana in Kalk Bay is one of the few places where I have spent many an entire afternoon quite happily. It was a stunning sunny warm day on Sunday so …
