This week is going to be such fun. I have a dinner tonight at Ragafellows with the George Ladies which has now morphed into an online book club of sorts. (More books I won’t have time to read? Lovely.) I just join for the chat and the wine and the camaraderie. It is nice to …

Willingness & Willpower
I have very little willpower. There are both positive and negative elements to this. Positive: I am easily led into nonsense and chaos and as a result I am generally a lot of fun. Negatives: I am easily led into nonsense. See what I mean? I am useless at dieting. I am an all or …
MIA
I realise that I have been very lax in blogging. Many fun things have been happening as well as some traumatic things - so just a normal time in the life of the Kitten.The first week back at work after a long couple of weeks leave is always tough and mine was not only the …
Walkin on Sunshine
I love how my skin feels after I've showered following a day of swimming and sunbathing, my skin tight and just slightly sunburnt. Slipping on something cool and cotton is heavenly. I love that I can have that feeling at my own home without it being limited to going away once a year to a …
Unlucky Thirteen
I must say I am not sorry to see the end of 2013. Maybe it's true that 13 is unlucky? We have had such loss. My children's childhood nanny and 2nd Mom/Grandmom passed away, my stepfather passed away, my son lost 2 kittens, this week a bird died in my care and then today I …
Raga-Fabulous
Like the proverbial fat kid at the candy store we have been peering through the windows of Ragafellows for weeks, watching the changes to the familiar old Cape Dutch building which has been a part of Hout Bay Main Road for the 20 years I have been visiting Hout Bay. It's been transformed completely, stripped …
Spoiled For Choice
Tourist season has arrived in Cape Town. The traffic is busy, the shops more crowded, and the weather is fabulous. We have had several new restaurants pop up. I hope they all succeed as it's lovely to have so many choices as we eat out a lot. This is a 3 day weekend in SA …
Goodbye Tata, Sleep Well
I first moved to South Africa in 1990, the year before Nelson Mandela became president of the ANC and 3 years before he became the 1st black SA president. I was pregnant with Lily, my 3rd child and the country was pregnant with anticipation, a change was in the air. The world was focused on …
African Extremes
South Africa is such a place of vast divergences in life styles of people living very close to each other, especially in our small village of Hout Bay. This was so evident to me this weekend. With the girls in George for the holidays, Norm and I had a cosy weekend in planned, just us …
An Elephant Never Forgets
I remember when I first heard about genetic memory. It was in regards to elephants and that they can locate water holes they have not visited in generations. I guess I never thought about the concept that humans can also exhibit genetic memory until recently. Is it actually genetic memory, or is it a memory …
