Dope Dopamine

Typical of the Mother City, the weather has been erratic all week. We had several days of really severe winds. Then we had several days of intense heat, it was 31℃ on Tuesday. That evening I sat outside at the back and took advantage of the weather finally cooling off a bit. The cats and …

All of you have brought me here

Norman and I have only just returned from our annual trip to the US to visit my mother where I also saw friends and family. I saw very few people and I went very few places, the trip was about spending time with my mom who is in poor health. I was surprised at how …

The Comfort of Others

I mentioned last week that I have decided to just completely go with the flow and be open to what the universe brings me. Since then I have realised that one of the ways I help people is just by talking to them. I have so many people message me and tell me so many …

The Best Medicine

For such a hermit I have been really busy, but not so busy that it was too exhausting, the nice thing about a 4 day weekend is you can fit in recovery time. The remainder of Easter weekend was lovely. At lunch time last Saturday I went to a friend's for her birthday celebration and …

Triggered

It appears that some warmth is finally starting to find its way through all of the damp and cold we have been having. Spring in South Africa starts in September and usually the temperatures rise over the season and the rains decrease, but everything seems to be lagging behind this year. I am cautiously optimistic …

One

I have only one more day on my current project and I am so glad it is almost over but it makes me sad that we did not finish developing the entire solution. I loved the work, I enjoyed working with my client as I appreciate that he is as passionate as I am about …

Basic Rights for Humanity

Norman had a meeting in the city on Wednesday last week and so he came through to meet me and take me for lunch. There is a Kauai just behind my client's offices and so we met there. Norm had the Tropical chicken wrap for R59: free range chicken, pineapple, carrot, greens, with thai peanut dressing. …
