It came in a big box, that was opened for inspection at the airport by SARS.
That would be the South African Revenue Service. There was an [...]

Big news first: I’ve ordered a Schact Ladybug spinning wheel. Gorgeous Man will be bringing it home from the USA at the end of October. The universe wanted me to have this wheel – the dealer is walking distance from his hotel. He assures me he is able to get it home. Is it wrong [...]

I’m feeling much better [...]

I hate buying clothes. I loathe it with a passion. I can never tell if something looks good, or if it’s going to match the rest of my wardrobe. So what usually happens, is that every once in a while Gorgeous Man comments that I have nothing to wear and heads into a clothing store [...]

It’s been a hectic week. We’ve had some changes in the care for Gorgeous Girl. The girl that has been coming to [...]

So today I put Gorgeous Man on a plane for the USA. He will be gone for a fortnight a week in the USA roughly and then a week in Toronto, Canada. I even managed the drive home on the very scary freeway in a new car OK. There was one heart stopping moment, but [...]
