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 …

Touched by an Angel
One more sleep. That is, there is only one more sleep until my darling hubby is waiting eagerly at the Cape Town airport for collection. All I can say is phew. I would say more but kids might be reading. Managing a home as well as starting a new client and new project has almost …
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 …
Celebrations and Expectations
The last day of my year end holiday ended on a high as Lily and Josh drove up to stay with us and Caitlin came for dinner that evening to see them. We were having dinner to celebrate Lily and Josh's engagement as he proposed to her on the 3rd of January. And yes that …
Take it Slow on the Peace Train
Last weekend on Sunday afternoon we had a show day for our house which is on the market and after a morning of ferocious cleaning and tidying we were so exhausted we decided to find a quiet corner where we could grab a late lunch and relax with the dogs for a few hours while …

Lucky Kitten & The Birthday Bao
Last night Norm and I tried a new venue to celebrate his birthday. I had just planned a quiet dinner for us two as I had thrown him a small drinks evening at our house on Sunday and invited all of our friends. I knew we might be a bit tired on Monday as a …
Rose Petals & Thorn Bushes
On Monday morning I woke early and when I checked my phone I saw a message from a friend telling me that our street was closed due to chaos from the riots. A fire had been started in the middle of the only street out of our suburb and a barricade put up. I then …
Music & Cocktails
This weekend we really enjoyed watching Glastonbury live via our BBC iPlayer. We try to catch the key acts every year, however until this year it was only available once they were on YouTube. We can now watch real time via streaming. On Friday evening we loved the set by The Pretenders, it is hard to …
Sister’s Circles
I went to my first Sister's Circle on Sunday afternoon. As my neck was still playing up and Norm was heading to Builder's Warehouse which is in that general direction, he offered to drop me on his way. I have had 2 visits to the chiropractor this week for my locked neck, the first was …
