Greetings you guys! How have you all been doing? Gosh, it really does feel as if we are stuck in a time warp at the moment – it’s astounding! Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll…. Are we the only ones who feel that time is spinning slightly out of control at the moment? How did we get to June? My oh my, May just flew by! And I don’t even have anything exciting to tell you. How dreadful is that. Life is treating us quite good at the moment. It would be nice to have Mommy home a bit more and I believe the feeling is mutual. But not to worry – midyear holidays are coming up in two weeks time and she did promise to take a couple of days off to just relax and spend time with me. I do hope that means that she will lock the pups outside for at least a day, A full day. So that I can have a change to snuggle up while she just lies on the couch reading. Puppies truly are the most dreadful things on the planet. Especially when they don’t realize that chasing cats around are the worst […]

Greetings you guys! Aren’t we like halfway through March already? Time is definitely being made in China lately. It doesn’t last very long at all, does it? How are you all doing? We are doing good! Life is good here in our little seaside town on the southern part of Africa. Mommy’s been working very, very hard. But she loves it and if I’d let her, she will go on for hours talking about the new Educational Centre and how much the kids at school are still enjoying Library. But alas, we are reading a really lovely book and she’s on a time-budget here. Just a quick hello and then we are on the couch reading. What I am willing to share, is the latest edition to our little family! This is Kristoff and he is just the sweetest little chap ever. Even I like him. Well, sort of. He is way better than the other mutt! She is still nothing but a terror and nope, I do not like her. She does love her new little playmate though and doesn’t try to bite me and chase me up the walls all that much anymore. Mommy is still living in […]

Hi there you guys. Oh I feel I can just take a huge sig of relief to be able to say hi to you! Gosh, it’s been a really tough couple of weeks. The year started crazy with Mommy opening the new learning clinic and getting used to not being at school every day. All good, a change is a good thing and my Mommy is starting to settle into her new routine. And then a large part of her world came crashing down with one devastating event. On Sunday night, 06 February, the staff at the school my Mommy teaches, received the upsetting news that one of our students have passed away by taking her own life. Wow, what a blow. The whole school was just dumped in silence and disbelief. This beautiful, beautiful girl was one of my Mommy’s students and no-one, not even her parents, who we also know quite well, suspected a thing. How, oh how is this possible? The shock and sadness that rippled through our tight-knit community was unbelievable. Getting through the week up to her funeral, was a tough one and last weekend, my Mommy literally just stayed in bed. Crying, sleeping and […]

Greetings you guys! Gosh I miss you! It’s late on a Sunday afternoon of a very busy weekend, following a hectic week. How are you guys all doing? We are well! Mommy is back at school. Sort of. This year brings along a few changes for my Mommy. She is not going to be at school fulltime this year, but only twice weekly. Yes, her timetable is totally crazy with hardly a bathroom break. She will only be doing the library and not the special needs classes anymore. Lots of new things happening in the library for 2023. The biggest of all is the new reading challenge that we got from Debbie @ Readerbuzz. In a perfect world, Mommy and Debbie should have worked together. The kids are ever so excited and we hope to kick off with this tomorrow! My Mommy spend days trying to have the shelves sorted, but she’s still not done. I guess this will have to be a work in progress for the unforeseeable future. Of course we are also going to be taking part in this challenge! The big question now of course is – what will she be doing with the rest of […]

Greetings you guys! It’s the last week of October and I guess that makes it Halloween week? My Mommy says she always feels like the odd one out here in SA and especially at school during this season. Halloween is not a seasonal festivity here in SA and seeing that my Mommy works at a Christian School, everyone looks at her strangely when she gets all excited about ghosts and horror books during October. Lucky for her, there are fun reading challenges like Fraterfest to take part in! How’s it going with your Fraterfest Readathon this year? We only have a couple of hours left and I know we probably could have done better – but we did have loads of fun with the books we did manage to read during the past 10 days. We aren’t quite finished with The House on the Lake, but we’ll finish it up eventually. Secrets and Seashells at Rainbow Bay might not really have qualified for Fraterfest as the ghosts weren’t really high on the fear factor scale. The House on Needless Street ticked all the boxes though! We’ve listened to it, but I think my Mommy should perhaps rather read it as well. Who wants to chat […]
