On Sunday my drumming circle had an all day dance for rain. Norm and I had a lazy day on Saturday as I knew that Sunday would be exhausting and I wanted to be well rested in order to give all of my energy to the drumming. Norm and I decided to just get a …

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 …
The Throne
I never thought I would get excited about a toilet. As a Virgo even the mention of a toilet makes me cringe. However the looming presence of Day Zero is a bit of a game changer and makes you think about things which we take for granted every day. Such as elimination of waste. Norm …
I Wish You Enough
I finished up work last Friday and the season is fully launched. We're off on the run up to the holidays! I'm not seeing as many tourists as usual but I've been lying low and avoiding the shops. On Friday after work Norm and I joined Paola, Phillip, Retha and Barry at Cheyne's for dinner. …
Two Degrees From Spiteri
The weather has taken a sudden turn in Cape Town and it has been boiling hot outside. On Thursday I had my annual check up at the gynae who is in Milnerton so I set off just after 7am to make my way across the city. I had to use the car's air conditioner as …
Lucky Kitten and The Mongoose

She has a character that is very prevalent in her work and which I strongly identify with. Ana's website says: "There is a strong character, constantly featured in …
Trigger Warnings
Every year I sign up to donate to Operation Shoebox. This year I signed up for 2 newborns and I did my shopping on Friday. As the babies may not be born yet I do not know whether they will boys or girls so I did boxes which are suitable for either. I used yellow and …
Please Forgive Me
Forgive me readers for it has a been a long time since my last confession. I do not think I have been doing any vast amounts of sinning, I have just been a bit busy. This message is what is upper most in my mind at the moment however, the concept of the power of …
Listen to the Coyote
This past weekend I barely feel as if I caught my breath! It was non-stop from start to finish. In fact since my last blog I have been really busy. Maybe this is due to the warmer weather erratically arriving? On Wednesday after work Retha came for drinks and afterwards I cooked dinner. I made …
