Mirrors

Caitlin and Bree and I are flying down to George today for Lily's 'Sprinkle' which is what you call a celebration of your second child. Apparently they can use their siblings left overs and only deserve a tiny head wetting. This is sarcasm before anyone gets offended. In fact I was recently told that my …

Beaches and Babies

This has been such an amazing week and it feels like a month since I posted! On last Friday afternoon Caitlin collected me and we set off on the 450 km / 276 mile journey down to the Garden Route which usually takes about 5 hours on average to drive, factoring in at least one …

The Howling of the Wolf

Last weekend was just fabulous in so many ways. For one, I left my house BOTH days. For two, I got to spend time with my lovely daughter Caitlin and for three, we had our first meeting of the group who will be studying the Path of the White Wolf course with me. Saturday morning …

Staying Steady

This week has been full of fabulousness as well as a bit of heartbreak and my usual levels of disorganisation. I advised in my last post that my daughter Lily's kitty Rocket was missing. They finally discovered that he had been knocked over by a car and died. We are all so sad for Lily …

The Certainty of Uncertainty

One certainty about living in South Africa is that everything is often uncertain. My current project has been full of uncertainties. We have been asking for a plan with priorities and it was finally presented on Wednesday. We felt confident and charged off with our top 5 priorities. Then on Thursday the plan changed. It …

Currying Flavour

This week my new project officially kicked off and we spent time getting onboarded by attending workshops or meetings. A new project is always exhausting as your brain is trying to absorb the background while envisioning the future. It is a huge project and I am one of the Data Architects. My responsibilities involve data …

Cowboy Hats, Caftans and the Bermuda Triangle

The week between Christmas and New Years is notoriously a bit of a black hole. The Bermuda Triangle of Annual Leave. What day is it? What have we been doing? Where have we been? This period of time can usually be tracked by the places we have gone, the people we have seen, entertained or …

Mexican Wave

Last weekend ended off nicely with a video call with my Mom and kids. We had such a laugh as always but we all had our PJs on and had Sunday hair so no one would let me take pics *sigh*. Mom has not been feeling great and the isolation is not helping as she …

Buddhas and Beaches

Last weekend I had a bit of cabin fever so Norm offered to take me out for a bite of lunch on Saturday. That meant getting out of my jimjams and putting on make-up for a change. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKYZgFJoGY/ We had intended to go to one of our fave spots, Hout Bay Manor, but the wind …
