A time to let go

I woke up on Saturday morning in tears, not a good way to start the day but in the end it brought closure on something that has been bothering me for ages. I had the most vivid dream about a friend being dead. I was really upset as we have been friends for a long time and even though things seem to have fallen apart recently, I really value this person. The...

Look before you leap?

So I am faced with a dilemma, I want to move to CT. I need to be there. But my parents help me a lot here. I am slowly getting back on my feet and the money is trickling in but I am not sure I can wait long enough, I am not a totally practical person at the best of times. When I know what I want, I like to go for it, to grab on with both hands and not let...

National Cleavage Day

It is National Cleavage Day #NCD, a day to appreciate being a woman and having breasts. And while I love my breasts, as most of you know, they have had a bit of help to be what they are today. But a day like today is not just all about the fun of boobs, for some women the thought of showing anyone their cleavage is enough to send them into a cold sweat.I...

To do list:

To do list: I am hopeless at to do lists I always misplace them so I thought if I wrote it here I had more luck of finding it again. Lets see if this works, helps with being paperless and all too I guess. I understand that it will make ittle sense to everyone else so feel free to move on if you like. sort out tax number – get book keepers number from Barbara. ...

Blogs 4 Free Press #SpeakZA

It does not matter which side of the political fence you are, or even if you are perched neatly on the top and never get involved, when freedom of speech and the freedom of the press is threatened we should all be alarmed! As some who believe in the power of words and that we should all have a voice I will stand up and be counted on this one. So Count me...

Shock

At some point or another most of us have been walking along and suddenly spotted by a face in the crowd that we could have sworn was someone we knew. Even when you know it is not them the shock and the memories that come back can really leave you quite shaken. Something similar happened to me last week. We were on out road trip so far removed from the...

Lessons from the scratch patch

I was at the scratch patch last week with the kids. They had loads of fun. It was interesting to see the difference between the two of them and the way they approached the task of collecting a few gems stones in a little packet. Rachel spent ages looking for her stones and loved finding really special ones. Caleb was a bit less structured about it, he lost...

Girls don’t pooh

Yes yes I am well aware that you all know we do, but knowing and knowing are two different things. I have a total phobia of the need to go anywhere but at what constitutes home at the time and no one can be around. I once went to Botswana for 4×4 salt pans holiday where we slept in tents and had a spade to head off into the bushes with when the toilet...

Alone?

I really hurt someone, not just a little but a lot and the worst part is it is through no fault of their own but I know that no matter how much I say that, the idea of if only I did it differently she would have stayed might remain. I ended the relationship with Aequitas and I am so very very sorry that I hurt him, he did nothing but support and love me and...

Awesome Road Trip!

Will someone please pinch me, I must be dreaming! I keep thinking that any second now I will wake up and the crazy mad idea that grew in my head, will still be safely in there, and will not have somehow morphed into an idea that is growing a life, and gathering pace all on its own. I always believed in this idea. I always thought that it could work. So it...
