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 …
Exploding Kittens & Birthday Celebrations

Takers and Fakers
I mentioned that the Budget Speech was done last Wednesday. I also discussed the failings of the current government to adequately plan for the number of children in the Western Cape province and how 10k children have no placement in a school. I found it rather ridiculous that the ANC blamed the high levels of …
The State of Turmoil
There is so much chaos going on in South Africa that I am not quite sure where to start! Let's start with an update on the drought. The day after our Dance to Heal the Earth we read that Day Zero was pushed back to mid May!! I thank the Universe for the sign that our …
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 …
