In a recent blog I mentioned the two old farts who sit near me at my current client who were reminiscing over 'the good old days' and now I am starting to be aware of all of their ridiculous conversations. It doesn't help that Old Fart #1 has a voice identical to Kermit the Frog. …

Offensive Defensiveness
This week we had news of a very significant arrest by SAPS (The South African Police Service) which I hope makes for a bit of peace in Hout Bay. Official announcement from the Office of the Station Commander of Hout Bay SAPS: "On Wednesday, 22 of May 2019 at approx. 01:00 Hout Bay SAPS members …
Act Two
Considering that I was worried about being able to endure a full week, this week flew by! I find if you are out midweek it makes the week feel shorter. The monotony of our week was broken up on Wednesday when we attended the Opera at the Artscape. It was organized by my friend, a …
Courage over Comfort
This week we had the National and Provincial Elections in South Africa. Considering the corruption the ANC has been proven to be guilty of and how much embezzlement they have done by pilfering money from so many areas I had hopes that they might be knocked from their perch but unfortunately the masses have again …
The Power of Change
I think that my husband has a very sexy voice and accent, but sometimes our attempts to communicate with me and my southern drawl and him and his Scottish accent results in some confusion. In my last blog I mentioned that we took a road trip out towards Paarl but I forgot to tell you …

A Pyrrhic Victory
This week has been a week of lovely adventures and disappointing events. Or I guess under the circumstances some of them were non-events! In my last blog I mentioned how excited I was about seeing Sam Smith in concert but Sam lost his voice and had to walk off stage in the middle of the …
Toxicity and Acidity
This has been a rather eventful week in Hout Bay, but before I catch you up let's go back to where I left off on my last blog because us Virgo's are nothing if not methodical in our approach. Last Sunday Norm and I went out for a pub meal at our local, Woodcutters Arms. As …
Covens and Crises
We have been blessed with a bit of cool refreshing weather and even quite a bit of rain. After the intense heat of the previous week I was walking into my office one morning and I was feeling jaunty as the cool air felt wonderful and I was so pleased about the rain. I encountered …
Deserving
I was told recently to 'lighten up' and I realized that I have become a very serious person and wondered when that shift occurred from the 'up for anything' mad version of myself. I have never been frivolous or silly, I think it is not in my nature. I've always been self deprecating, that comes …
