Greetings you guys! Just a really quick post from our side to see how you are doing! My Mommy says the passed week felt like at least a year, but it’s good to be back at school and she stands amazed at just how resilient children can really be. It’s the second term of school for us and if you walk into school, it’s as if nothing ever happened. Yes, the kids still wear masks and social distancing is still adhered to, but otherwise, the kids are just as naughty and busy and happy and playful as ever before. This makes my Mommy’s heart very happy. And tired. But in a good, content, cuddle-with-me way.  My Mommy had Book Club on Monday night and she only took one English Book and two Afrikaans books. The English book is really good and she is almost done with it. Have you read this one? Scratching the Blog Pole Through all the organized chaos this week, we’ve managed 4 posts: Ten Book Titles that sound like Crayola Crayon Colors Wondrous Words Wednesday – Regal Book Review – The Curious Case of Florence Winters Classics Club Spin #26 The Spin landed on Number 11 […]

Greetings all you wonderful Humans! How have you been? I take it most of you in the Northern Hemisphere are starting to see the first buds of spring, while those of us in the Southern Hemisphere are starting to feel the sting of the autumn wind. Such is life I guess.  At least my Mommy is finally on holidays and we had a wonderful week of doing nothing. There is not a single thing of significance I can tell you about this week. Oh wait! There is 1 thing. After struggling with a sore hip and back and all other 40+ ailments, my Mommy’s physiotherapist suggested that she rather join a full ballet class again and not only the barre class. She started with that on Wednesday and although she was walking like a frog for 2 days, she appeared quite pleased.  No new books were acquired this week. In fact, we are all of a suddenly once again overwhelmed with the amount of books that are lying in ambush on our shelf and the Kindle. It’s a fierce and dangerous army, I tell you. Scratching the Blog Pole We didn’t write a Sunday Post last week as my Mommy […]

Greetings Humans! Just a quick note to say that we haven’t drifted into outer space or descended into to darkest depths of the earth. Yes, I know we had just about no online presence this past week and I can just imagine how horrible that must have been for you. We haven’t even answered so many of our comments from two weeks passed… Will get to it today! School is crazily busy and my Mommy’s one teacher is still off with a back injury. Luckily, we are quickly approaching end of term and this upcoming week will already be a bit better. As from next weekend, she is all mine, all yours and all new building project coming up. I should still consult with King Solomon on how we are going to divide her, but I’m quite sure we will all get an equal share. Just to provide you with some comfort, here’s a lovely collage of yours truly taken over the passed couple of weeks.  And just like that you feel better already. Right?  We’ve received one request for review this week and my Mommy still thinks it’s wonderful if she gets a message through the contact form on […]

Greetings you all! How are you? Did you have a good week? I’ve decided to just accept my fate of being a poor, abandoned kitty for most of my weeks. Life is not going to change much for my Mommy at this stage. School is busy and her days are long. I do try my best to make sure she doesn’t forget completely about me by catching and releasing the odd grasshopper in the house, or chasing imaginary mice around the bedroom @ 03:00 in the morning. Oh and losing my collar. That was the most fun.  The world outside our window shows lovely summer weather with a couple of rain showers, but not enough to ease the ongoing drought. Hence all the grasshoppers. Did I mention that my Mommy hates grasshoppers? The Covid numbers are just about 0 in our little town for over a week now, but there’s already talk of the 3rd Wave that will hit Africa if we can’t get a workable vaccine soon. As you know, all the AstroZeneca vaccines that arrived on our shores, had to be send back as it was completely useless against the strain that spread through Africa. Let’s hold thumbs […]

 Greetings Humans! How was your week? Mommy is back at work and even though I miss her terribly when she’s at school, it’s good to see her running around and spreading sunshine just like a busy bee. School officially opened on Wednesday and it was chaos. The good kind. Lots of happy, smiley faces and only a few tears from the new Grade 1’s.  But alas, the sunshine only lasts until the thunder clouds start rolling in. my Mommy works at a Private School and trying not to get into politics, but the gap between Public Schools and Private Schools in SA is quite the pothole. Needless to say, after the chaotic school year in 2020, it’s now rather The Big Hole in Kimberley.  Quite a number of the Private Schools in SA opened on Wednesday with Public Schools planned to open on the 27th of January. This date has now been postponed to the 15th of February. And those Private Schools who did open already, are now forced to close until the 15th of February as well. Look, I do get it. I really do understand that even though a very, very large percentage of public schools hardly had […]
