The More We Know

This week the weather has again been a bit of a see-saw. Today we woke to a lovely gentle rain but we have also had some incredibly hot days. Last Sunday and Monday it was crazy hot. I had been booked for drumming last Sunday but I just felt exhausted. I wanted nothing other than …

The Net Will Appear

Last weekend was so chilled and low key, despite the weather being in the high 20s to 30s Celsius. It was crazy hot and when my women friends came around on Saturday I decided to just put out fruit, cheese, meats, vegetables, dips, crackers and things to snack on rather than do any cooked food. …

Alphabet Li & CreepoCop

In my last post I mentioned attending soul circle, but I did not tell you that several people told me that my energy is completely different than when I first attended a year ago. Apparently I was a ball of nervous energy then, I think someone called me a 'bumblebee' which makes me giggle. Someone …

We All Break

The weather in Cape Town appears to be mirroring the rest of the world in that it is completely unpredictable. Can you say 'Climate Change'? Last weekend was really relaxing, yet really busy. If you are working at something you enjoy then it is not really work is it? Norm finished the grouting in my …

The Knowledge

Last weekend the Mother City was blessed with the most glorious weather! Spring was supposed to have sprung in SA back in September, but I think the memo must have been delivered by our non-existent postal service because Cape Town weather has ranged from haphazard to miserable. Typically just as we started to relax into …

Lazy Days and Sundays

They also have a designated area for wine tasting or just to imbibe in a social setting. We have so many choices of first class restaurants on our …

Disassociated

As it was a 4 day work week it flew by, especially with work and life being so busy. Luckily little Panda is much better and that has been our primary stressor. On Friday Panda went to the vet for his end of meds check up and they have decided to keep him on antibiotics …

Last Drops

Last weekend the weather was absolutely stunning and we made the most of it, trying to squeeze out the last drops of sunny fun. This week has been cold and the last few days have been really windy. Last Saturday I cleaned the house. Those who know me may have fainted at this statement as …

Finding Balance

This week it is starting to feel like winter is here (yes I have said that a few times only to have the heat return). It has been alternating between hectic winds, rain, drizzly mist, and cold. Now that we have an air-conditioned bedroom I keep the air on year round and set at 18℃. …

The Certainty of Uncertainty

One certainty about living in South Africa is that everything is often uncertain. My current project has been full of uncertainties. We have been asking for a plan with priorities and it was finally presented on Wednesday. We felt confident and charged off with our top 5 priorities. Then on Thursday the plan changed. It …
