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 …

Baby Daddy
The World Cup has kicked off and our office has been bitten by the fever. We were designated teams and so the office has allowed each team to decorate their section with the team colours. My section got England. https://instagram.com/p/Bj9eNFFFkqG/ My British colleague brought in a flag for us. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkAcQeTFkNc/?taken-by=stresskitten Last week flew by as …
More That Binds Than Tears Apart
I recently heard on the radio that there is indeed such a thing as Man Flu. Apparently there is research which proves that men are more incapacitated by illness than women. That is the good news for you dudes lolling about clutching your tissues and Vitamin C and suffering with a case of severe helplessness. …
Letting Go
What is it about us that makes us self-sabotage? Even though we know how great we feel when we give up our vices or lose weight or eat healthy, why do we not adhere to these best laid plans? Is it lack of will power? Lack of self worth? Or is it just chemistry? When …
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 …

I found it rather ridiculous that the ANC blamed the high levels of …
The Sacrificial Kitten
I feel like I should have some sort of large neon flashing light counting down to when the water runs out in Cape Town on my blogs. "It is X amount of days until Day Zero" announced in some deep ominous voice when it opens, a bit like all the silly nonsense we had on …
The Throne
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 …
Kitten and the Kittens
I promised to update you about Pixie our Pomeranian and her breathing issues. Lily dropped Pixie at the vet first thing at 8am on Friday morning so that she could be sedated to get a decent x-ray of her airway, lungs and heart. Pix is usually fed her breakfast at 8am so she was very …
Silent Nights and Sand Storms
The wind in Cape Town was insane most of this week. The seas were full of white horses. Image credit. As we live in a bay which is surrounded by a sandy beach, the wind blows the sand all over the place, even over the roads making them impassable. There was a team of men …
