From Pewter to Goldberg
Forgive me readers, it's been weeks since my last confession. I'll try and do a highlights version but it has been hectic! There was a lot of sadness when Lily had a friend die last week. He was a young lad who was beaten up after a night out in Cape Town and subsequently died. …
It’s A Wonderful Day In The Neighborhood
As I write that title I think about the dilemma I often have, who is going to 'get me'. Did the whole world know about Mr Rogers or was he an American only concept? In today's fast paced world Mr Rogers would never succeed. He spoke too slowly, his concept was too simple and would …

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

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 …
