My Unforgettable Safari Experience in South Africa

This week has been amazing as only an African Safari can be! I highly recommend it as an item for everyone's bucket list. To add to the magnificence was the wonderful man I met and had such a strong connection to. The last was that I had such proof of my manifestations. I asked for …

but baby, I don’t wanna say goodbye……

I have music playing all of the time in my head. I usually have a particular song for a while, then it inexplicably shifts to another. Recently it has been Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather'. I love this new album of hers and this song is my constant mental soundtrack. Before this it was …

Bricks and Mortar

I now get as excited about a bird as I used to about sexy shoes. These days I have zero pairs of sexy shoes as I only wear flats and most of those are boots, and not the sexy kind of boots. That reminds me of a story when I first moved to Cape Town. …

Life is such a Drag

I have had such a busy week at work full of all day review meetings and analysis and documentation. I love both of the latter but am not too fond of the meetings aspect. I read so fast I have consumed the info on the screen and interrupted the presenter to give them my answer …

A Hundred Acres

My daughter Lily and granddaughter Amelia drove down from George on Thursday afternoon week before last. It was a 6 hour journey with Lily having to amuse Amelia and drive but they managed it. Lily was carting a truck full of things. She had loads of clothes to pass on to Caitlin that Amelia has …

Showing up Authentically

This week I have learned some new terminology for some of the same old 'quirks'. I keep discovering that the weird little behaviours I have always done are either stims, or characteristics of either Autism or ADHD. For example, constantly singing is a ND trait. I sing continuously either in my head or out loud. …

Desperately Seeking Something

There are so many trite sayings about how wonderful it is to spend time with your grown up children but they are all true. Even doing nothing is fine if I am doing nothing with my kids. When I see them happy and doing well at life it especially makes me feel pleased. My daughter …

New Connections

Today we have woken up to a gorgeous day! Everything outside is sodden but the sun is shining bright and the birds are all singing happily. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9o6XmNKEP6/ The previous week has been a bit hit or miss with the weather with the only consistency being that it was icy cold. The rain came and went …

Celebrating Family

This past weekend was just so fabulous. My daughter Caitlin and I flew down to George from Cape Town at an obscenely early time of day last Thursday morning so that we could spend that whole day with Lily, Amelia and Josh. We woke at 4am and just threw on warm clothes and left as …

Hurray for Hollywood

On Saturday Norm and I attended the matinee production of 'Hollywood'. I love the venue Theatre on the Bay and often just book tickets on a whim which is what I did with this show. I knew nothing about the show and when we arrived we were baffled by the fact that there were young …
