I never thought I would get excited about a toilet. As a Virgo even the mention of a toilet makes me cringe. However the looming presence of Day Zero is a bit of a game changer and makes you think about things which we take for granted every day. Such as elimination of waste. Norm …

Rosemary: Quite Contrary
When I posted my blog earlier in the week, I had completely neglected to mention the drama we had that morning. We were woken by the phone at 7am, it was our neighbour across the street who asked us about the car parked outside our gate. She drives a big van and sometimes struggles to …
Snips & snails & puppy-dog tails
This last week has been full of surprises and both good and bad events. Saturday we had been planning on going to a tweet up at Burrata in The Old Biscuit Mill. I've heard good things about their food, but I was also keen on seeing some of my twitter friends whom I had not …
New Member of the Family
Our project had a go live this week so I worked a lot of overtime. By Friday I was exhausted and luckily finished early. The weather has been glorious so I snuggled up in my sunny bedroom and had a snooze in the sun. Norm went out to get sushi for Lily and I and …
All That Matters
This weekend I was supposed to have most of the book club girls and their fellas and kids here for dinner, but on Thursday I started feeling ill and by Friday morning I was feeling really horrid. I was also told I had to work on the weekend so it all worked out that I …
Soul Connections & Sinns
This week my friend Retha and I attended the Girl Geek dinner which was held at Restaurant in Wembley Square. I had never been to Wembley Square and certainly not to Sinn's. I think it is a good test of a restaurants' skill to see how they cope with catering an event as plating and …
It’s A Wonderful Life
This has been such a fun weekend. Friday night we were invited to a birthday party at Spiro's, the local Greek restaurant in Hout Bay. We always enjoy going there, the staff always have a smile, the food is reasonably priced and the portions generous. But what makes Spiro's a success in my opinion is …
Life Goes On
The last week or so has been challenging. I seesaw between normality and sadness. But one has to keep on keeping on...it is the nature of life. My friends rallied round while Norman was away. Retha came and collected me on my 1st night alone and we went to the harbour for take out sushi …
Not on My Watch
The last few weeks have been very stressful for our family. My kids have had such a tough time. First they lost their childhood nanny. She was with them since Lily was a baby. She came into their lives at a point when they needed her and she spent the majority of their lives looking …
My Weekend in Photos
I had been planning on meeting a couple of girlfriends for afternoon cocktails but one of them had been a bit under the weather so we rescheduled, but then I got invited to join other friends who were going to the same venue. We went to the new bar/restaurant Re:Public. I had bought my daughters' …
