Social Butterfly

This week is going to be such fun. I have a dinner tonight at Ragafellows with the George Ladies which has now morphed into an online book club of sorts. (More books I won’t have time to read? Lovely.) I just join for the chat and the wine and the camaraderie. It is nice to …

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 …

Walkin on Sunshine

I love how my skin feels after I've showered following a day of swimming and sunbathing, my skin tight and just slightly sunburnt. Slipping on something cool and cotton is heavenly. I love that I can have that feeling at my own home without it being limited to going away once a year to a …

Unlucky Thirteen

I must say I am not sorry to see the end of 2013. Maybe it's true that 13 is unlucky? We have had such loss. My children's childhood nanny and 2nd Mom/Grandmom passed away, my stepfather passed away, my son lost 2 kittens, this week a bird died in my care and then today I …

Raga-Fabulous

Like the proverbial fat kid at the candy store we have been peering through the windows of Ragafellows for weeks, watching the changes to the familiar old Cape Dutch building which has been a part of Hout Bay Main Road for the 20 years I have been visiting Hout Bay. It's been transformed completely, stripped …

An Elephant Never Forgets

I remember when I first heard about genetic memory. It was in regards to elephants and that they can locate water holes they have not visited in generations. I guess I never thought about the concept that humans can also exhibit genetic memory until recently. Is it actually genetic memory, or is it a memory …

She Talks To Angels

The week since our party has been full on so I was very happy to see the arrival of the weekend. Sunday we went to Alphenstube. The food was beautifully cooked. I had chicken schnitzel and chips and a side of sauerkraut which I love but seldom have. Norm had a lovely looking big steak …

“I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them Sam-I-Am.”

Halloween has always been one of my favourite holidays. I’ve always loved the freedom of being in a fancy dress outfit. The funny thing is I don’t have a single childhood memory of trick or treating. We lived out in the country side – miles away from much of anything except a few other houses, …

Tastes of Memories

Summer seems to have finally arrived in the Mother City. We have had so many false starts and empty promises so I am very happy to see it! Last week was a rather busy week, I am currently juggling multiple clients, multiple projects and of course life. By the time Friday arrived I was ready …
