So the grody thing in todays exotic photo is a dishevelled black satin sash that I took with me to Conference on a whim. It was lurking in between two dance costumes and I turned a blind eye and let it creep in. It found its way into writing class one morning. Who knew an […]

It’s my birthday! So please come in and help yourself to some cake… (sorry guys, I know it’s pink and purple… I like it 🙂 ) … and a cuppa of something nice…. … or maybe you prefer something with bubbles? So pull up a chair and make yourself at home. I’d love nothing […]
Read moreWalking on aeroplane wings and other preposterous ideas
So I’m in an aeroplane. We are thousands of feet above mother earth. I look out the window and read this little gem printed on the wing… ‘Do not walk outside this area’ Oh really? Why ever not? I’m so glad they put that out there, because you know – I was just about to head out […]
Read more2620 posts and counting… seriously people?
I’ve just got back from a whirlwind trip to Dubai (to teach dance workshops) & Qatar (to catch up with family). Yes, me! Can you believe it. This home girl who has never been off African soil. If you don’t count the boat trip with my granny when I was 15 where we sailed from Durban, into […]
Read moreBubbles and Rock
When things get tough, do you ever eyeball yourself firmly in the mirror and give yourself a pep talk? I know I do. I just make sure nobody is watching first.

Read moreThings aren’t what they seem…
If you had peeped into my bedroom this morning at 8, you would have thought – look at that lazy thing, tucked up under the duvet doing nothing. You would have, in fact, been dead wrong. Oh yes – to a casual observer it would seem that I was lying very snug and still, but what you […]

Read moreCreature of the Night
I’ve always been an owl not a fowl, but with my kids on holiday – my nocturnal tendencies are getting out of hand. My days are filled with wipe this, feed that, mop this, carry that, tidy this, cook that, find this, pick up that, pick up that again, all to the tune of non-stop […]
Read moreWriters – ever wonder what your brain looks like?
In glorious technicolour… ta-da! Yip. That’s your brain. You think I’m kidding? Well I’m not. It goes like this… My bag died a slow, nasty death. It started with the handle slowly detaching itself, first one side, then the other. After that, it suffered a chronic zip failure and it was pretty much downhill from there. So […]
Read moreDancing kittens
Or should that be… dancing AND kittens. My writing has had to wait a bit this week for two good reasons. Technically four. We’ve added 3 kittens to our household. I know… 3! Eek! But the equation is simple maths – 3 kids = 3 cats. It’s the only way it’s ever going to work. […]
