I was lucky to have 3 lunch dates this week! My financial investments guy popped by to update me on things on Monday, Thursday my friend Di was in town dropping off her Cushi's at Spree. She messaged me and I popped down to meet her, then Norm messaged me Friday to say he was …

99 Problems
This week has had more than it's usual share of highs and lows. Wednesday when I was going to see my Osteo, my car finally decide to just give up and refused to climb Table Mountain. In fact it started to slip backwards. On a blind curve. Lovely. Luckily there was no one behind me …
From Torture to Bliss
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 …
