This weekend I was supposed to have most of the book club girls and their fellas and kids here for dinner, but on Thursday I started feeling ill and by Friday morning I was feeling really horrid. I was also told I had to work on the weekend so it all worked out that I …

Soul Connections & Sinns
This week my friend Retha and I attended the Girl Geek dinner which was held at Restaurant in Wembley Square. I had never been to Wembley Square and certainly not to Sinn's. I think it is a good test of a restaurants' skill to see how they cope with catering an event as plating and …
It’s A Wonderful Life
This has been such a fun weekend. Friday night we were invited to a birthday party at Spiro's, the local Greek restaurant in Hout Bay. We always enjoy going there, the staff always have a smile, the food is reasonably priced and the portions generous. But what makes Spiro's a success in my opinion is …
Life Goes On
The last week or so has been challenging. I seesaw between normality and sadness. But one has to keep on keeping on...it is the nature of life. My friends rallied round while Norman was away. Retha came and collected me on my 1st night alone and we went to the harbour for take out sushi …
Not on My Watch
The last few weeks have been very stressful for our family. My kids have had such a tough time. First they lost their childhood nanny. She was with them since Lily was a baby. She came into their lives at a point when they needed her and she spent the majority of their lives looking …
My Weekend in Photos
I had been planning on meeting a couple of girlfriends for afternoon cocktails but one of them had been a bit under the weather so we rescheduled, but then I got invited to join other friends who were going to the same venue. We went to the new bar/restaurant Re:Public. I had bought my daughters' …
A Twist of the Tongue
My accent can be a real mishmash of the various influences in my life. There are some words which have been phased out of my vocabulary – like ‘ain’t’ or saying ‘good’ in place of ‘well’, i.e. saying “He did good” vs “He did well’. Some of those things really bug me now but I …
That Sense of Privilege
Our household have joined the Hout Bay Neighbourhood Watch (HBNW) in an attempt to help our village get to grips with the crime which has gone on a sudden upshoot. This has had both positive and somewhat of negative aspects to it. The positive: direct access to everything happening in your area, awareness of any …
All Grown Up
Last week was my son Trevor's 27th birthday. I still get surprised when I realise I have 'children' so old. How did that happen? Trevor and his girlfriend Amber arrived down to visit us on Wednesday which meant I had several days with them and I was so excited! I have not spent Trevor's actual …
My Food Evolution
Yesterday I had a "Duck Dynasty" marathon and watched all of series 1 and 2. I am addicted to this show. I wanna be a Robertson. But one of the guys, not the wives. The wives just seem to mill about looking pretty while the men have all the fun. And I'd never have to …
