The last week or so the vibe in our village has been a bit tense after the recent protests that resulted in the roads in and out of our village being closed and 5 men being murdered. Community Crime Prevention (aka CCP) posted an update the day after the 4 taxi drivers were shot to reassure …

The Humming Heart of my Ancestors
I have had 2 lovely weekends since my last blog and I have a lot to say so grab a cuppa and settle in. The weather has been absolutely stunning but we have had a lot of wind. Last Saturday I was up very early as I had an appointment at 9am to get my …
Gathering No Moss
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 …
Take Me To Church
This has been a very expensive last week of the month as we had to replace our WiFi router, our fridge water filter and a few other random items. We also ran out of electricity so had to top that up. All relatively small things which added up. As a result we have been on …
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 …
Lucky Kitten & The Birthday Bao
Last night Norm and I tried a new venue to celebrate his birthday. I had just planned a quiet dinner for us two as I had thrown him a small drinks evening at our house on Sunday and invited all of our friends. I knew we might be a bit tired on Monday as a …
The Kitten Bunny Hop
I have had such a lovely long weekend with the perfect balance of fun, fabulous food, family, friends and chilled out down time. Considering I had nothing much planned, it all fell perfectly into place with zero effort. I did miss being able to get away for the weekend to see Trevor and Lily however. …
The Toothwhisperer
My week started out a bit badly as I was at the dentist on Monday but as far as dental visits go it wasn't too bad. I took a tramacet pain pill for courage and Norm drove me. Dr Pretorius was great, talking me through every action before he made it and moving slowly. My …
A Different Perspective
It's funny how my reaction to almost the exact same situation can change depending on one factor. For example, I woke at 6.45 Sunday morning. The sun was just peeking around the curtains, Norm rolled over and took my hand and Panda crept up from my feet to nestle in the crook of my body, …
Disappearing Act
Last Sunday we were so lazy, probably because it was preceding a public holiday. Last Monday was Workers Day so we had the day off and my friend Retha and I decided to try and get in for lunch at Green Vine Eatery at Silvermist Vineyards. We did not have a booking but thought why not …
