Idle thoughts seeing a friend telling on Facebook that she has joined a site for posting something for 100 days. Each day a post about happiness. Is this also for me? Naah! Stop and think, what harm can it do? Uses up a few minutes each day. I can spare that. Will it have any […]
I have not had the best of weeks. Today I think I am realising why. I’m trying to do something I haven’t done previously, as well as dealing with someone whose work methods neither I nor the others in the company really understand. So I’m feeling insecure, not like me at work. What I can’t […]
Umbrella. All week they have danced through my dreams, never once behaving as they should – to keep the rain off. And as for their fair-weather friends the sunshades, well they too have behaved disgracefully in my dreams. Actually that isn’t really true. They have behaved gracefully, floating, tumbling and generally being beautiful. World-wide the […]

On my recent trip to Swaziland, my sister and I drove out to the location where the famous local candle makers are sited.

With a population of 1.23 million it has fewer people than Johannesburg where I live. Jo’burg has over 3 million. It […]
I seem to have been the victim of a virus. Totally exhausted and now over busy with work. I will be back soon.
Just over 12 years ago we woke to a new day. Preparing to fly on to the next city on a trip to China. Over breakfast I heard discussion of what seemed a violent film (not the sort of thing those guys seemed interested in). I went back upstairs and saw the footage of aeroplanes […]
Today I had an odd meeting with a client. Away from their offices, and as this is a financial organisation this is most unusual. Actually I had a meeting with one of them many years ago (last century in fact) at her home but that was more personal advice for someone at the end of […]
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 […]
