Usually when a client's project wraps up I have a few days to recover before I start a new project with another client, but my last project ended on Monday afternoon and on Tuesday afternoon we had a sales meeting with a new client and I was asked to come back on Wednesday to join …

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 …
Toothless Squared
I cannot believe it is March already. I'm still getting used to writing '2019' and we are almost a quarter into it. I've now been on my current project for a month and have made good progress. I had to submit my first progress report this week and the client is happy that I am …
Queue Convos & Transient Relationships
Last week I had to leave work midday on Wednesday to go to collect Norm at the airport. On the way home I was starving so we decided to hop off the motorway in Constantia and stop for a quick lunch at Mugg & Bean. Norm was a bit jet-lagged and just ordered a blueberry …
Silent Nights and Sand Storms
The wind in Cape Town was insane most of this week. The seas were full of white horses. Image credit. As we live in a bay which is surrounded by a sandy beach, the wind blows the sand all over the place, even over the roads making them impassable. There was a team of men …
Trigger Warnings

Weekend at Woodies
The last few weeks have been riddled with chaos and filled with both natural and unnatural disasters both near and far. Terrorism and the alt-right hate groups kicked off on Saturday the 21st in my home country, the USA. There was an alt-right rally in Charlottesville Virginia which resulted in a battle between the good guys …
Solstice Celebrations
I started on Saturday with the Corticosteroids my doctor prescribed for my on-going issues with my ears and sinuses but they have made no difference whatsoever. I went back on Monday for another blood pressure check and to get my lab results. My blood pressure is still high and needs to be monitored. The lab results showed …
A Weekend With Bryan
This weekend Norm and I had a relaxed agenda. On Friday I got home from work quite early and it was nice to not have to worry about dinner as I had been organised for once and had made it the night before. I pureed butternut and put it on top of curried mince. We just served …
Choose Peace
From the time I woke on Monday I avoided anything political. I usually wake before my alarm goes off and I grab my phone and check my social media accounts and my Covet Fashion results. I've played Covet for years but I don't spend cash on it like some women who allocate a budget each week …
