Endings and Beginnings
The new year has started rather beautifully. I've been so luxuriously lazy all week. Norm and I stay in bed until the heat or the dogs drive us out of our nest. Norm feeds them, lets Navajo out to roam and then makes us a coffee and brings it to me in bed. I sometimes …
A Consistent Approach
When Norm and I lived in Europe we made a real effort to take the kids to a new city every year. As I was the one who did the bookings and it was summer, we always stayed somewhere near a beach with a pool. Now that we live in Cape Town we have those …
The Contented Christmas Kitten
I'm still not sure if my attitude changed or what happened, but this was the calmest, most easy going Christmas I have ever hosted. It was also one of my best, I was so well prepared and I'm the sort who stresses about things being out of control, so maybe that was what lay as …
Not A Beige Life
I am so organized that I didn't need to go to the shops or leave the house from Saturday until Tuesday. I'm normally so busy that I actually started to develop a bit of cabin fever. That only leads to mischief. Norm and I decided to do ear candling which is defined as: Ear …
Sharks, Camels & the Solstice

Ending the Year
This was the best work week ever as I only worked about 10 hours instead my usual 45. Monday was a normal day, I worked late to try and tidy up all the loose ends I needed to resolve. Tuesday Norm drove me in and as he is not a morning person we left an …
Deviation from Reconciliation
I've spent all morning clearing out cupboards and I have a huge pile of clothes to pass onto the recent fire victims. Tops, pants, skirts, suits and all sorts. And all sizes of course. Caitlin also did a clear out, I was ruthless and tossed out anything I've not worn in a year. Some …
Norm’s Ear, My Cleavage & The Prince
I'm such a narcissistic media junky it took all of my self-restraint to stop myself from taking thousands of pics while lurking around Prince Harry when we attended the event last Sunday at Chavonnes Battery, but if one does not behave, then one does not continue to garner invites. Therefore I trawled the net after the event …
Tales From the Waterfronts
As always the full moon cycle triggers chaos. I remember from when I worked in the hospital as a radiographer that a full moon brings out the crazies, that is why you call them "lunatics". The pull of the moon on the body also results in an increase in birth rates. Basically the hospital would …
