It's amazing how much more one can achieve with just one extra day of weekend. We had a long weekend in honour of Women's Day. I took this from Wikipedia as they explained it better than I can: "National Women's Day is a South African public holiday celebrated annually on 9 August. The day commemorates …

Arnold & Ruby
We had such a productive day. Mzudomo arrived bright and early and while he was busy in the garden with great assistance from the Pomeranians, we set off to Hout Bay to hit the shops. I'm just so fed up with takeaways so we vowed to be more organized and do a weekly shop. Before we did …
I Believe I Can Fly
Obviously I can't fly but that is the song that pops into my head when I hear the words 'I Believe'. I'm one of those people who have a song track to their life. I launch randomly into song constantly. And annoyingly I'm sure. Whatever. This week someone started quoting verses of the bible to me …
It’s All Relative
Last week was one of those weeks where you feel like your life is one monotonous rotation of work, home, bed, and then the cycle starting over again the next day. But this week was packed full of all manner of random diverse activity. Work was again hectic with me going off at 7am and …
mucho caliente
I discovered a new addiction. I tried a new pizza from Massimo's, but as I am usually a bit picky about sausage I only ventured to try half. I had a half Pancetta and half Hot Latina. But I wish I had been brave enough to go full Caliente as it was divine! It's the one …
Unfathomable
I have blogged before about the disparity between the various socio-economic groups in South Africa, it is a part of our every day lives but sometimes it rises up and slaps you so hard in the face that your head reverberates with the force of it. It's been a busy week, work is still long …
just livin life
This has been a few weeks full of a lot of drama. Both negative and positive. Last week a young man named Dede Chikala was murdered in the township in Hout Bay. He was Congolese and was in South Africa studying. This was such a tragedy. This is now the second stabbing in the same …
Tequila For The Win
People say that you will never meet your true love in a bar, but conversely they also say that nothing can keep soul mates apart. My husband Norman and I are classic examples of the latter and a contradiction to the former of those 'sayings'. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. We met almost 20 …
Take Me To The River
Another week rattled by. Work is still intense but as it was school holidays this week, the morning traffic was much less. I left a bit later and therefore got a few more minutes of sleep. I do love the morning light, the mountains all lit by the dawn, the sky just starting to pinken. …
Winter Chills
I feel like I haven't blogged in ages, but work has me so exhausted that I haven't had the energy to go anywhere interesting enough to want to tell you about it. On Tuesday I had promised Norm that I would go to Spiro's open mic night but by the time I finally got home …
