On Tuesday Norm and I decided we needed to adventure out of Hout Bay. As we had been wanting to go to the Zeitz MOCAA (Museum of Contemporary African Art) since before it had even opened we decided to go for lunch and hit the museum afterwards. We had a slow morning and headed into the …

Launch of the Season
Even though it is not quite December, the season seems to be fully launched. The week flew by and it was the weekend again before I caught my breath. On Thursday night we had a work function in the city centre. I left my office in Mowbray promptly at 3pm and shot off to Hout …
Festivities & Feathers
There is nothing quite like a birthday to make you feel special. Sunday was my actual birthday but I had a lovely celebratory weekend with time spent with my husband, my daughters and their fellas as well as a girly morning with my bestie and my daughters. My only regret was that my son and …
the karmaeleon
I had several conversations this week about the many changes that life throws at us, changes at home or at work, changes in location or fortune. I know I've personally touched on all of those so I'm sure there are plenty more challenging situations, in addition to those experienced by me. My measure of success …
Deviation from Reconciliation
I've spent all morning clearing out cupboards and I have a huge pile of clothes to pass onto the recent fire victims. Tops, pants, skirts, suits and all sorts. And all sizes of course. Caitlin also did a clear out, I was ruthless and tossed out anything I've not worn in a year. Some …
Pixie’s Adventure
It seems Summer may properly be on the way, or that Spring has properly sprung? Whatever is happening I'm loving the warmth & sunshine! All of the greenery has flourished, the roadsides and gardens blooming. It's been fabulous to go to work in bright light and come home with a few hours of sunlight …
Panic Room
Last evening we had another evening of load shedding. For those who are unfamiliar with that term it means that Eskom, our inept parastatal electricity company, is unable to cope with the electrical demand of the country and therefore they turn off areas of the national grid, thereby freeing up electricity for other areas on …
Friends With Benefits
I have been very spoiled over the last few weeks, that’s an additional benefit of having friends from overseas visiting. I have a lot of things to cover so grab a cuppa tea and settle in. Last Tuesday night we went to Quinton’s at Oakhurst Barn for dinner with our friends who were over from …
Dangereuxly Delicious
This week has rattled past, I've been so busy. Norm has his board still here from the UK and we have seen very little of him, he warned me he would be unavailable this week so I planned accordingly. Tuesday I went to see my myosteopath who worked out the pain I've been having in …
Back to Life, Back to the Mother City
Our arrival back in the Mother City last Tuesday was met with much excitement from the animals that we had not abandoned them forever and a bit of excitement from the girls over their new onesies and other little presents. They both look very adorable in their onesies. But I am probably a bit prejudiced. …
