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 …
Ducks and Launches
Last weekend was a 3 day weekend, Monday was Youth Day in SA a day to remember the Soweto Uprising and the lives lost that day. We have had so little time together that Norm and I decided to hibernate. The weather was cold and wet so it was conducive to snuggling up and being …
Pop Goes The Kitten
When I meet new people they often ask me do I not miss the US. I don't miss anything except the people, but one thing I do wish we had the equivalent of in SA is shopping. The UK and the US have such great sales and a better quality of merchandise generally. I miss …
Tuesday, Bloody Navvy
Today is a day of celebration for me. My doc rang with the results of my biopsy and they are clear, no issues noted and no cancer cells identified. This is just such a relief! Another area of relief is that if I have any other issues a hysterectomy is not the primary option for …
Party to the Mex
I had my minor procedure last Wednesday. I was such a bag of nerves and in a state of panic. Luckily I had Lily with me to distract me with silliness like photos. When we arrived at the clinic it was raining and we had to park miles away. But as we started trotting in, …
Not So Easy E’s
Sunday was Mother’s Day in SA and the USA. Norm was working and my son was in Plett for a wedding and Josh was enroute home to George, so it was just me and my daughters who were around. I had booked Cheyne’s for lunch as I have not been in a few months and …
