My work week started pretty much on the same note as it ended on last week. My PC was still with the technician when I got in on Monday morning and finally at midday my client said I may as well go home. On my way I popped in to the shop and got steaks …

Act Two
Considering that I was worried about being able to endure a full week, this week flew by! I find if you are out midweek it makes the week feel shorter. The monotony of our week was broken up on Wednesday when we attended the Opera at the Artscape. It was organized by my friend, a …
Weekend at Woodies
The last few weeks have been riddled with chaos and filled with both natural and unnatural disasters both near and far. Terrorism and the alt-right hate groups kicked off on Saturday the 21st in my home country, the USA. There was an alt-right rally in Charlottesville Virginia which resulted in a battle between the good guys …
Drum Solos & Tea Silos
I have had such an eventful fun weekend. Friday we had a quiet night in and just chilled out. Caitlin was out with friends and we just ordered take aways. I knew I had a busy weekend ahead and did not want to be tired on Saturday as I was up early to be at …

We can now watch real time via streaming. On Friday evening we loved the set by The Pretenders, it is hard to …
“Take Yours, I’ll Take Mine”
Considering that this was a 4 day week it has felt like the longest week all year! On Wednesday evening it was just me and Norm at home so we decided to go to Pescarne for dinner as we had seen on their Facebook page that there was a new owner. We thought the changes they made to the …
Friends With Benefits
I have been very spoiled over the last few weeks, that’s an additional benefit of having friends from overseas visiting. I have a lot of things to cover so grab a cuppa tea and settle in. Last Tuesday night we went to Quinton’s at Oakhurst Barn for dinner with our friends who were over from …
Tastes of Love and Life
We have been so busy I have not blogged in a week and it was all go, so bear with me if I cover a lot of territory. It was my turn to host bookclub this month and the girls all came to me last Tuesday. My friend Chris has her father in law Pops …
