I promised to update you about Pixie our Pomeranian and her breathing issues. Lily dropped Pixie at the vet first thing at 8am on Friday morning so that she could be sedated to get a decent x-ray of her airway, lungs and heart. Pix is usually fed her breakfast at 8am so she was very …

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 …
Awakening & Feasting
This has been a fun but hectic weekend. I knew it would be tiring having so much fun so on Friday evening we just ordered in take away pizzas. Lily and Josh were out with their friends for dinner so it was just me Norm and Caitlin. We stayed Banting and ordered cauliflower bases for …
Safe in the Wings
My interesting interactions with my spirit animal have continued. I have been working on process improvements for the last 6 months or so and on Wednesday I had to present all of this work to our company director. I hate presenting, I get quite stressed out about it. When walking into the office that morning …
The look of love
This has been such a busy week. Considering that I started out in a bit of a #StillHungOverFromSaturday state I am impressed with the fact I survived it all. I had to rush home from work on Monday to meet Vanessa my manicurist. Vanessa still comes to my house despite the fact that she is now …
Impervious to Pain
I recently watched a film called 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' where the actors were discussing the fearlessness that comes from having survived something of such trauma and heartbreak that you can then endure anything else life may throw at you. Tempered in steel. Deep trauma changes a person. I know that I am one of those …
Candles for Kitten
On Tuesday I went to visit the staff nurse at my client to have her take my blood pressure. I had not had my BP meds that day and my BP was still within acceptable parameters (118/84). The nurse told me I should never just stop my BP meds, but then told me not to …
there but for the grace of the gods….
Last Monday seemed to come round so quickly as it was just a regular two day weekend. It had started to get chilly so I was happy to have Sunday's leftover soup for lunch. I got in early to a stunning sunrise outside my office window. As we hadn't done a proper weekly shop …
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 …
