Lifetime

When I've had a stressful day I like to dig through my cd's and listen to an old favourite. Today it was Talking Heads.
~ A year ago today I had some interesting books to read ~ 

Bubbles

I got caught in the rain this evening... thoroughly soaked! Hopped into a hot bath as soon as I got home.
~ A year ago today I was watching the weather ~ 

Hidden Flower

I found this wild iris flower flopped over in a corner of my garden. It's so pretty!
~ A year ago today I was having hummus for lunch ~ 

Beautiful Ruins

I'm about eighty pages into this novel and really enjoying it.
~ A year ago today I was visiting some open gardens ~ 

Two Trees

Today was hot, still and sunny.. it felt like the first day of summer. I went for a walk on the mountain and then had lunch with a friend. It was a good day!
~ A year ago today I had hayfever ~ 

Above Lakeside

This is the view from my beautician's house, down in the south peninsula. The cloud billowing down off the mountain this morning was quite spectacular.
~ A year ago today there was  cat on my kitchen counter ~ 

And Then There Were Three

It seems all the cats in my neighbourhood now think its cool to come hang out at my place. 
~ A year ago today I was eating sesame seed treats ~ 

Tumblin'

I'm spending more and more time on tumblr sites these days. There are several movie/TV show ones I like to visit daily.
~ A year ago today my garden was growing ~ 

Refrigerator

Not sure what should have for supper. Feeling uninspired by the contents of my fridge. Hmm, egg on toast perhaps?
~ A year ago today I went to the movies ~ 

Open Window

There was a bit of a breeze blowing this afternoon, which made the blinds bang. But still so good to have fresh air.
~ A year ago today I was doing laundry ~ 

A Big Glass of Water

I had a back massage today - trying to sort out my problem shoulder and neck. It was intense and a bit painful. I made a point to drink plenty of water afterwards.
~ A year ago today I admiring pretty pelargoniums ~ 

3D Movie

For the first time in ages I went to see a movie on the big screen: Gravity. It was very good.
~ A year ago today I got my hair cut ~ 

For the Twins

Gifts ready for me to take to K & D's birthday party this afternoon.
~ A year ago today I was reading a thriller ~ 

The White Cat

The little funny face has more or less moved in. For the last few days it has been eating here and sleeping here. I'm calling it Ghost.
~ A year ago today I was looking at Thomas ~ 

Jasmine in the Rain

It looks like Spring out there but it doesn't really feel like it. Was cold and wet again today.
~ A year ago today I was armchair travelling ~ 

Mini Cookies

I didn't intend to buy cookies when I went shopping today, but somehow I came home with some.
~ A year ago today my car needed a wash ~ 

Grip

I buy hair clips often - I always seem to break them. This is my current favourite and probably the best one I've even had. I bought it in a supermarket in France. Wish I'd picked up several!
~ A year ago today I was drinking Earl Grey ~ 

Little Snake

First thing I had to deal with when I got home today was removing a snake that Thomas had brought in and was playing with in my living room. Fortunately it was easy enough to catch in a tupperware. *Shudder* I hate snakes.
~ A year ago today I was having lunch with friends ~ 

Out in the Garden

The gang at Babelonstoren this afternoon.
~  A year ago today I was shopping ~ 

Gone Girl

I read over half of this book today, and will probably finish the rest tomorrow. Its dark and twisted and compulsively readable.
~ A year ago today I was watching Justified ~ 

Portly Gentleman

Thomas, my big old boy, has been excellent company the last couple of weeks. He is such a dear, loyal cat. Always at my side.
~ A year ago today we were unpacking a truck ~ 

Baby Aeonium

I recently added a red (or is it black?) one of these to my succulent collection.
~ A year ago today I was scrambling around my kitchen cupboard ~ 

Can't Stop

I enjoy the Music on Late Night youtube channel, especially the stuff with The Roots. This latest one with Miley Cyrus is fantastic. Love this version of the song!
~ A year ago today I was wearing new shoes ~ 

Koeberg Road

I did a lot of driving today. My car had to go to the mechanic all the way out in Montague Gardens. Along Koeberg Road four times!
~ A year ago today the wind was blowing ~ 

Ratatouille

All those tired-looking vegetables lurking in my fridge got chopped up and chucked in a pot today.
~ A year ago today I had steak and salad for lunch ~ 

Superspar

I haven't done any proper grocery shopping for a couple of weeks. I just keep grabbing a few supplies whenever I pass a shop like this one. Not eating very healthily at the moment either.
~ A year ago today I was spotting spring bulbs on the mountain ~ 

Fynbos Slope

Friends and I did the Oranjezicht & Higgovale Open Garden circuit today. I particularly enjoyed this colourful fynbos garden.
~ A year ago today I was reading a memoir ~ 

Face at the Window

This white cat has been hanging around for the last few months. This week, without Trixie here to guard the window, it has become a complete pest. It's in my flat all the time, mewing outside the door when I get up, waiting on the steps when I get home. Stressing me out a great deal! I'm not ready to take on another animal! 
~ A year ago today I was at the market ~ 

Dumplings & Spring Rolls

I had supper at the market this evening. It was all delicious.
~ A year ago today it was raining ~ 

+ -

One thing I love about my car is the control for the sound system on the steering wheel. Today I went for loud.
~ A year ago today I was lunching on salad ~ 

Late Afternoon Sky

I went for a walk on Tafelberg Road today. Beautiful weather for being outside.
~ A year ago today I came home to my kittie ~
