Lemons Into Lemonade

Whenever I hear a message multiple times, I always assume I am meant to notice. The message that came through to me was presented as a variety of ways, but it gave me the same sort of emotion, so I am grouping them together for my own interpretation. You have been waiting all of your …

Opening the Portal

My friends and family often have a laugh about 'Lisa's World' which consists of what I see with my bad vision. On Tuesday I was sitting in the pool and I spotted what looked like a screen of some sort. Was it a camera? A listening device? Who would be interested in what two geriatric …

Iced Coffees and Caftans

I had such a wonderful weekend last week! Firstly, my darling husband was home. Then on Saturday I saw my friend Annette who has been in my life for about 35 years. We met in George when our sons were best friends and our husbands worked together. We have stayed in touch through various relationships, …

Creating My Own Reality

People often ask me why I bothered to get diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at my age, did it make any difference to have a label? For me it clarifies why I do some of the things I do or think the way that I think. For example, I can just sit in my fairy …

Shedding Negativity

It has been a busy week! I've swam, walked in the forest, gained a new client, spent time with my daughter and granddaughter, and started learning a new technical tool! For a housebound introvert this is a high achievement. Last weekend was hot but at least the humidity had broken from all of the rain. …

The wind howled all day Saturday and Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UqatqfLkgOc I did not mind as I was having a do nothing weekend. I watched several movies and series. I ate popcorn. I spaced out and it was just …

This past week was a bit transformative for me. I mentioned in my last post that I was going for derma blading, but after chatting to my skin therapist, we opted for a light peel and a session with the dermapen instead. A dermapen is specific brand of an automated micro-needling device that uses an …

Virgo Moon Madness

It is stress or change which drives most growth. Kim, the guy who helps in the garden, was here and we discussed how to manage the tree by the pool where the roots are cracking the pavement. He said we should just cut the whole tree down. He said that if we cut off a …

The Soil of South Africa Clings to You

Last weekend was really cold and overcast. As we have no heat in our house other than a wood fireplace that we could not be bothered to light, it was really cold in the house too. I was wearing 4 layers of tops, wooly socks and fur lined boots and was still wrapped up in …

In it for the Genet

In addition to all of the usual birds, butterflies and my lizards, on Sunday my backyard safari sightings were even more thrilling. First I had a wee squirrel come and sit in the tree for what felt like ages. Watching back I realise it was not as long as it felt at the time but …
