This week has been a hectic one. Last Friday afternoon I left work a little bit early as I had an appointment with my chiropractor. He managed to unlock my stiff back a bit but advised me to take it easy and put an ice pack on my back when I got home. I had to …

#SheToo
I am beginning to think that someone must have a voodoo doll of me and that they are enjoying sticking pins into it as my body has moved from one ailment to the next for what feels like months now. The strange thing is that each ailment is corresponding with the symptoms of someone in …
Soul Mates
When you are twenty, twenty years seems like a life time. I guess that is because it is. Even when you are old AF twenty years seems like a life time. Hence my surprise every time mine and Norman's anniversary rolls around and I add up the duration of our years together. (Much like my …
Midwinter Nightmares & Dreamy Evenings
I mentioned in my last blog about the ongoing police operations going on in my village. On Thursday I had another crazy drive to work which I assumed was related to the police operations. I turned out of my suburb onto the main road only to find a half naked man gamboling down the street …
Take Me To Church

Touched by an Angel
One more sleep. That is, there is only one more sleep until my darling hubby is waiting eagerly at the Cape Town airport for collection. All I can say is phew. I would say more but kids might be reading. Managing a home as well as starting a new client and new project has almost …
Path of Persistence
I've been trying to keep up with all of my own tasks as well as those which Norman is usually responsible for and so far the house is still standing and all 5 animals are still alive. Some of them are coping better than others. Navajo is still hopping about on 3 legs and his …
