At last, the horrible month of March is almost over. Waking up to a new month tomorrow will be great, but waking up to the last day before a long weekend will be even more awesome. Tomorrow is also important for another reason… it will be the start of my last year as a twenty-something. Party plans are in the works, the venue has been finalised, my mind is trying to get itself around the fact that in almost a … Read More »

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes us feel like we belong somewhere. For me, one of the things that I cherish most about my little corner of the earth is the various people I see every day who always have time to smile, wave and greet. It’s these little encounters, and the sense of community that is found in the City Bowl that really make it home. There’s friendly Chris who works at the office building across … Read More »

I think I have been conned. The adorable ginger fuzz ball I was given on Monday has slowly but surely turned into a fierce and crazy beast over the course of the week – right now it is hanging on to the curtains with teeth and claws. Still, all the biting and fighting soon eases off after serious bouts of energy, then he is the purring, fluffy cuteness again, crashed out so hard you can pretty much hold him upside … Read More »

A certain small fluffy someone likes to wake up at the crack of dawn to play – a time when I am quite unable to open my eyes beyond a millimeter or so, not that this seems to matter much. Life is just such a huge adventure to kittens, and except for the times that they are fast asleep on your lap (generally these seem to be the times that you wish the little bugger was awake) they are in … Read More »

I have been telling myself to take these quite often lately, as I clutch my cherry tea and drive my friends crazy with my impending mid-life crisis. It seems that I am maybe not as fine with the big three uh-oh as I thought I would be – all the excitement and ampedness has gone, to be replaced by the dreadful self-doubt and feelings of abject terror at what I am doing with me life. I’ve been down this road … Read More »

Amazing to think that in just over a day something can have you totally wrapped around their little paw, but this kitten has won be over big time. My legs are in shreds, my Chinese duvet cover is a worse state and my curtains and couch are not far off, but this little fur ball is just too darn cute to feel anymore more than adoration. He never stops purring either, and listening to him now as he’s sleeping on … Read More »

I grew up vegetarian in the 80′s, so I got used to being different from a very early age. When I was in pre-school, my only concepts of this was being disgusted when I accidentally got given fish paste sandwiches instead of Marmite ones. When I hit puberty however, I began to feel the full effects of peer pressure. The nickname of Broccoli surprisingly didn’t sting; Krille (curls) however, stung very badly and led to a miserable bout of merciless … Read More »
