Alphabet Li & CreepoCop

In my last post I mentioned attending soul circle, but I did not tell you that several people told me that my energy is completely different than when I first attended a year ago. Apparently I was a ball of nervous energy then, I think someone called me a 'bumblebee' which makes me giggle. Someone …

Have A Little Faith in Me

I mentioned in last week's post about the taxi strikes and the resulting drama and damage around Cape Town. This week has been full of drama as well. So many people are unable to get to work, the shelves in the shops are bare. Many people are walking far for minimal food as there is …

The Problem Solver

Last weekend was great for catching up with my social groups after my month in George. I saw so many of my pals either on Saturday, Sunday or both! I mentioned my Soul Circle group on Saturday in last week's post. On Sunday I met 'L', a woman who is here for work for a …

We All Break

The weather in Cape Town appears to be mirroring the rest of the world in that it is completely unpredictable. Can you say 'Climate Change'? Last weekend was really relaxing, yet really busy. If you are working at something you enjoy then it is not really work is it? Norm finished the grouting in my …

Easily Bruised

Last weekend the weather in Cape Town was glorious and it has continued all week. In fact we had record breaking temperatures as it is winter and we should not be having 29℃ weather at this time of year. Last Sunday we had plans to go on a hike with our friends Joe, Tyler and …

The Click

It is a 3 day weekend as we had Friday off for Heritage Day. It is lovely having an extra day to just chill and even better to be paid for it! I spent Friday morning on my front balcony drinking tea from my new mug. It is nice to be using the little table …

Birthdays and Renovations

Norm has never been big on birthdays, but every year I drag him out for a meal and buy him gifts and he is always grateful to receive them. I want to celebrate my birthday for a whole week and that kind of sums up the differences between us in a nutshell. His birthday was …
