When Rik was down last we went out for lunch with his sister and old family friends to Jake’s in the Village (which is in Tokai and was a nice meeting point for us all). Just a bit of background to the restaurant, Jake’s on Summerly is just down the road from me in Kenilworth […]
Remember my parentals gave me a herb box for Christmas? If not read the post here. But it had a chilli plant and flat leaf parsley, I am a bit rubbish at keeping plants alive so I was beyond excited when I discovered by chilli plant didn’t only have leaves but chilli’s as well. I […]
I have told you before about how much I love post – not the kind that is a bill and is asking for money for things like electricity and telephone bills – but the fun postcard and letters from friends kind. One such exciting letter to get in the postbox is one letting you know […]
Just a little bit of Friday inspiration. You gotta remember to dream big, love fiercely and laugh loudly! Do something this weekend that makes you so happy you feel giddy. It doesn’t matter what it is – if it’s taking a long hot bath, going for a run; baking something; phoning an old friend just […]
Isn’t it fun when you find things that bring back a ton of memories? I’m a child of the 80’s and 90’s – the 80’s I remember a lot but I think I was still too young to remember trends and brands. But the 90’s I do remember. Thank goodness the fashion has changed from […]
Isn’t this city just beautiful, within 20 minutes drive in any direction you’ll get to one of the most magnificent views anywhere. I only have to look out of my window at home to see my view; a take a short drive to see a stunning Sea Point Sunset or perhaps go on a hike […]

She is a amazing cook who makes some seriously yummy delsih food and each time I’m with her she makes some wonderful combo’s. Once such was an amazing peri peri […]
I have found a new luv, it’s baking! Something about the measuring of ingredients feels quite cathartic. So when I got a cake pop tray from Nic for my birthday (thanks my friend) I was eager to try these suckers out (see what I did there?!). If you don’t know what a cake pop is […]
If you don’t know already I am a bit partial to ye olde dress up. I.e I LUV em! And judging from my DVD collection I am a bit nuts about musicals. So when Ms KleeB had her birthday dress up and the theme was “favourite musical character” I almost blew a gasket I was […]
So yesterday I told you about my birthday dinner and mentioned the fact that the the Red Hot Chili Peppers were playing on my actual birthday, how totally radical that they decided to play the concert just for me (and about a gazillion other screaming fans). Sadly Rik couldn’t be there, but I had a […]
