One more sleep. That is, there is only one more sleep until my darling hubby is waiting eagerly at the Cape Town airport for collection. All I can say is phew. I would say more but kids might be reading. Managing a home as well as starting a new client and new project has almost …

Takers and Fakers
I mentioned that the Budget Speech was done last Wednesday. I also discussed the failings of the current government to adequately plan for the number of children in the Western Cape province and how 10k children have no placement in a school. I found it rather ridiculous that the ANC blamed the high levels of …
The State of Turmoil
There is so much chaos going on in South Africa that I am not quite sure where to start! Let's start with an update on the drought. The day after our Dance to Heal the Earth we read that Day Zero was pushed back to mid May!! I thank the Universe for the sign that our …
The Sacrificial Kitten
I feel like I should have some sort of large neon flashing light counting down to when the water runs out in Cape Town on my blogs. "It is X amount of days until Day Zero" announced in some deep ominous voice when it opens, a bit like all the silly nonsense we had on …
Kitten and the Kittens

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 …
Every Little Thing, Gonna Be Alright
I have been in such pain with my back all week. Sitting is sore as is walking. Getting up out of my desk takes quite a while and then things have to shift in my pelvis before I can walk. Getting old is not for sissies. One of my project team is leaving this week …
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 …
