Secret Watcher


A weekend away does not help to give me time to write. At least not when  it’s away visiting family and friends in Cape Town. Then the week has been a bit oddly busy, so many different things to do that I’m not really focused on an anything much. The secret watcher has been haunting […]

Weekend theme


Friday morning and I am watching the sunrise lighten up the world below. The hilly bits below are cheerfully lit on one side and casting ever-shortening shadows on the other. I left home in the dark, drove to the airport in the dark, we took off in the dark. Rather repetitive. But now the moon […]
