I love entering competitions. I've won several things just from the odds of how many I enter, I won 2 tickets to see Oklahoma! at the Artscape Theatre and on Friday after work we were in a rush to get back to the city before the curtain lifted. We were pleased to see we had …

Itinerary of Gastronomic Delights
The girls came back from George for Norman's birthday and we planned a few days of casual celebrations with friends and family rather than a big birthday party as Norm didn't want a fuss. Thursday was his actual birthday and he was taking me to the periodontist so we got back to Hout Bay quite …
Seaside Blues
There are not that many public places where I can spend a leisurely 5 hours relaxing and not start twitching to leave or move around. Polana in Kalk Bay is one of the few places where I have spent many an entire afternoon quite happily. It was a stunning sunny warm day on Sunday so …
Pop Goes The Kitten
When I meet new people they often ask me do I not miss the US. I don't miss anything except the people, but one thing I do wish we had the equivalent of in SA is shopping. The UK and the US have such great sales and a better quality of merchandise generally. I miss …
Party to the Mex
I had my minor procedure last Wednesday. I was such a bag of nerves and in a state of panic. Luckily I had Lily with me to distract me with silliness like photos. When we arrived at the clinic it was raining and we had to park miles away. But as we started trotting in, …

Back to Life, Back to the Mother City
Our arrival back in the Mother City last Tuesday was met with much excitement from the animals that we had not abandoned them forever and a bit of excitement from the girls over their new onesies and other little presents. They both look very adorable in their onesies. But I am probably a bit prejudiced. …
School Night
Our dinner for the new George Escapee Book Club was held at Ragafellows last Tuesday night. We were supposed to be 7 in total, but only 5 of us could make it – but the noise we made was enough for a dozen. We had a late kick off, and the owner, the lovely Julie …
Willingness & Willpower
I have very little willpower. There are both positive and negative elements to this. Positive: I am easily led into nonsense and chaos and as a result I am generally a lot of fun. Negatives: I am easily led into nonsense. See what I mean? I am useless at dieting. I am an all or …
MIA
I realise that I have been very lax in blogging. Many fun things have been happening as well as some traumatic things - so just a normal time in the life of the Kitten.The first week back at work after a long couple of weeks leave is always tough and mine was not only the …
